I think merely answering no is not enough. What's the rationale behind your "no"?

Go back and read my first reply to your question. It will be an expensive burden on law abiding gun owners that will do nothing to stop criminals.

What's the main source for bad guys to get ammo? Stores, right?

What is your rationale behind this statement?
Are you suggesting that people who rob other people obtain the tools of their trade by some other means?

If your answer is no, then what do you propose to cut off the source of ammo for bad guys?

People who are willing to break the law will never be stopped by another law. Please see the dictionary definition of a criminal (noun).
You might as well ask how to stop the rain - you can't. So instead you build shelter or carry an umbrella.

Stupid - If you think that one more law is going to stop a single criminal then you live in a fantasy-land.
Here in the real world we have recognized that criminals still get guns in spite of hundreds of thousands of laws trying to prevent that.
In reality, the 4473 form did not stop a single convicted felon from obtaining firearms.
The instant check hasn't stopped or delayed any criminal intent on using weapons.
These are just "feel-good" laws passed by politicians to make the people feel like they are doing something.
They don't work - and that's the reason to stop making more of them.

No.
No way.
No how.

Here's how it would go:
NICS check for ammo would crash the NICS system.
We need a new system. Who will pay for it?
We will just add a tax to ammo sales to cover the cost.
Now your $1.99 box of .22LR costs. $3.50.
When ammo costs more, fewer people will buy it.
Fewer shooters makes Chuck Schumer and Sarah Brady happy.

This is a really dumb idea.

Oh, and it wouldn't stop a single bad guy from getting ammo.
