HR 1207 or the “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2021” will drastically impact the way all Americans buy ammo.
HR 1207 will limit the way Americans can buy ammo by; banning online ammunition sales, creating a record of every ammunition sale, requiring a permit to sell ammunition, and sending a report to the police if someone buys more than a 1000 rounds of ammunition.
From the Joy of Shooting:
Of course this doesn’t stop crime. We all know this. Criminals certainly don’t buy ammunition online unless they are stupid, as online sales are actually a BETTER way to track sales of any kind. No, this is to track YOU and everything YOU do, as a law abiding citizen. They aren’t worried about the criminals, they know they can’t control criminals, and they know restricting access to an item only strengthens the cartels and criminal rings (look at the drug trade). They want to control YOU.
This is still in its early stages, but we must all be active. Please write your representatives and tell them you strongly oppose this bill. This link makes it extremely easy to do (one tiny form and two easy clicks). Scroll to the bottom and click on the large box labeled “oppose HR 1207 online ammo ban”.
The reforms brought forward by the Biden administration and Democrats are targeting law abiding citizens, not criminals. While this bill is still in its early stages it could very well become law if Republicans do not push back against it.
