What this bill would do

The "Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026" aims to change how ammunition is sold and regulated. It requires ammunition dealers to be licensed and mandates that transfers of ammunition involve a face-to-face interaction where identity is verified with a photo ID. The bill also adds limitations on the shipping and transporting of ammunition. Additionally, it establishes new recordkeeping requirements for large sales. Specifically, licensees must report when they sell more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition to an unlicensed person within a five-day period.
