Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) wants background checks to buy ammo.
This is getting ridiculous.

No, it has been ridiculous for a long time, just getting more so each day.

I do not see how that would help at all.
Few firearms owners (already check out) have no ammo at home.

Pretty scary all these rash ideas out there. Let's pray NO MORE wackos go on a rampage ever and especially now.

That's how they do it in Illinois. You must have a FOI card (Firearms Owner Identification) to purchase and keep guns and/or ammo in your residence. To get one requires a federal background check and must be renewed every 4 years.

That's funny. Blumenthal was against background checks for his so called military service "in" Vietnam.

Strange thing is that only applies to IL residents. I was visiting family there a few years ago and bought some .40 and .44mag ammo without an FOID card.

We've had enough leftleaning nutz diluting our voting and taking jobs here. How about more of the good conservative and gun loving folks in the communist states relocate to the free states? We'll welcome you!
