If you need ID to buy a gun, the same should be needed to buy the bullets. What if a psycho cant get a gun because of mental health record, buys one illegally (or steals one) and then just goes to walmart and legally buys the ammo that he/she needs to take out 100 people?

Law abiding citizens used guns to stop crimes 989,883 times in 2000, where as criminals only used guns in a crime around 436,000 times, so forï»¿ every one crime in witch a criminal used a gun, 2+ crimes are stopped. also There are about 10,886 murders with a firearm each year that means for ever one murder with a firearm, citizens stop crime 90.9 times.When Britain put there 1920 and 1968 gun control law in place, witch required all firearm owners to register there firearms, prove they had a need for them and restricted "assault weapons" murder rates went up a staggering 52% then they made used the registration of firearms to take away handguns and murder rates went u...

"Many aspects of the gun control issue are best measured and sometimes can only be measured through surveys,[1] but the accuracy of such surveys depends upon respondents providing truthful answers to questions that are sometimes controversial and potentially incriminating.[2] Thus, Just Facts uses such data critically, citing the best-designed surveys we find, detailing their inner workings in our footnotes, and using the most cautious plausible interpretations of the results." -"fact" is such a relative term these days.

Some people own old or relic firearms and the only place they can buy ammo is online, if they make it Illegal to do so these people will not be able to shoot guns that they have for collection purposes or that might have been passed down to them by there family. My dad has a .38 super handgun and he cant find that ammo just anywhere its ether online or from a gun show and gun shows charge way to much. The handgun was his dads, and one day it will be mine, I still want to be able to shoot it when it gets passed to me.

With the way things are going with Big Brother and so many people doing idiotic things, sometime in the near future, you'll need an id to purchase toilet paper.

Well you really don't want the unrestricted purchase of toilet paper do you? Ever had your home t.p.ed on holloween? I think perhaps passing a test first, and a background check, are reasonable measures. :)

Yet another idiotic idea which wonât do anything beyond inconvenience law abiding citizens. Funny how liberals think voter ID is racist but photo ID for buying ammunition is a good idea.

It should require an ID. How do we know the person buying the ammo doesn't have a criminal record? The person could be planning a shooting spree.

v No, it shouldn't

The Second Amendment has been systematically violated by state legislatures, especially here in New Jersey in the name of " reducing crime through gun control legislation." This political misinterpretation, upheld by most courts, has suppressed gun and ammunition availability to the LAW ABIDIING CITIZENS OF THE STATES!!! Criminals usually do not get guns through legal means. Wake up United States! Our RIGHTS are disintegrating before our eyes and we do nothing! I can't even begin a discussion here on loss of our economic rights through arbitrary taxation.

If you legally own a firearm you had to show ID when you purchased it, so to buy ammunition for it you should also be required to show ID and the amount should be limited and be ONLY for the fire arm in which you currently own.

You need photo id to open a bank account , to fly , to GET A BUS IF YOU BUY A PRE PAID BUS PASS so why not bullets. You know those things that blow peoples arm , legs and KILL so surely you can wait for a background check SURELY. What would you need bullets so quickly that you couldn't wait? However in a society that's wants everything now, not just usa , as in downloads and books you have to question patience and the morality of gun ownership and subsequently bullet ownership. Why not make gun ownership illegal completely , have a gun amnesty and get away from gun culture. I think you , as a country , are too far gone for that but one maiming stopped not just one deat...

If its racist to require photo ID to vote, why isn't it racist to require it for ammo? Guarantee you it's the same people wanting it for this that don't want it for voting.

It is ALREADY a requirement! Anyone that looks to be under 18 for rifle and shotgun ammunition, or under 21 for pistol ammunition, is already carded, just like alcohol and tobacco. So WHY is this question being asked? This is obviously another attempt to infringe on the freedoms of Americans by using deceitful tactics and questions.

Why would anyone need to see my ID to buy ammunition? The only purpose it serves it to invade my privacy. Many gun owners reload anyway, so all you're doing is creating a trap for the store owner, and inconveniencing the consumer. Where do people get the crazy idea that stomping on our constitutional rights prevents crime is beyond me.
