Dem reps seek to restrict ammunition sales to Americans

After submitting the “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2023” late January, Democratic lawmakers seek further restrictions on ammunition sales. This would prohibit online ammunition sales and provide guidance to brick-and-mortar shops.

H.R. 584 is the bill. The bill, H.R. 584, would require ammunition dealers in New Jersey to obtain updated licenses and verify the identity of all customers who attempt to buy ammunition. It also states that online sales must be reported and blocked. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a Democratic New Jersey Representative, was supported by Michael Bloomberg’s antigun group Everytown for Gun Safety. She introduced the bill along with 23 House Democrats who signed the legislation.

“Day in, day out, men and women are killed by gun violence. Republicans have responded with silence and continued inaction. Gun safety policies don’t need to be delayed for tragedies such as Las Vegas, Colorado Springs, and Uvalde. We also owe it mothers, fathers, and siblings who bury family members every day in Trenton and Plainfield, among other American cities,” Watson Coleman stated in a release.

The bill’s bulk reporting requirement requires that retailers who sell more than 1,000 rounds to one customer report their purchase.

Is Israel’s fate tied to Syria?

Syria has fallen, but we are still far from seeing the last of the hostages returned. Our brave soldiers must fight to secure Israel’s borders, rid the region of emboldened attackers all over the Middle East, and adapt to the escalating threats from Syria, but Israel doesn’t have enough supplies to properly win this war. Can you support our IDF sons and daughters as they continue fighting for the Survival of the Promised Land?.

Fenix Ammunition is a small family-owned ammunition manufacturer in the United States. They told the Daily Caller News Foundation they weren’t surprised that lawmakers would be interested in ammunition.

Justin Nazaroff, Fenix Ammunition CEO, stated that he is confident that Federal restrictions on ammunition sales will be overthrown in the post-Bruen era. “Gun control organizations have tried to blame ammunition retailers in mass shootings with disastrous results. They also lost their clients in Colorado, where they were forced to pay legal fees to an online ammo seller who they sued following the shooting at the Colorado movie theatre.

Nazaroff said that the Brady Campaign had charged their clients $111,000 and made them declare bankruptcy. We can only hope that this trend continues.”
