Bill overview
The Ammunition Modernization and Monitoring Oversight Act (AMMO Act) aims to improve the regulation of ammunition sales and recordkeeping in the United States. It requires a background check before certain Federal firearms licensees can transfer ammunition to non-licensees, restricts bulk ammunition sales to limit potential straw purchases, and establishes stricter recordkeeping requirements for ammunition transactions. The bill also seeks to end the practice of ‘straw purchasing’ by prohibiting the transfer of ammunition to individuals who would otherwise be prohibited from owning it. Finally, it mandates signage at licensed ammunition dealers outlining these restrictions.
