Obama to evaluate legislation banning online ammo sales

(1/1)

kozball:
.WASHINGTON -- White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that President Barack Obama will "evaluate" new legislation that effectively bans online sales of gun ammunition, but he wouldn't say whether the president could support it.

During the daily White House briefing, Earnest told The Huffington Post that he didn't know if Obama had seen the bill filed Monday by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.). The measure would significantly curb the ability of people to anonymously buy unlimited amounts of ammunition via the Internet or other types of mail orders. It would also require ammunition dealers to report bulk sales of bullets to law enforcement.

"The Hill" has some different language in its post.
The comments are very interesting.

How is this done???  Kinda hard to ship it without a name, an  address, and a form of payment ::)

Is it just me, or wouldn't it be easy for someone to stop by a few Walmarts in a couple of cities and stock up using cash so it would actually be anonymous?

Listen up Libs.  The lawless will never, ever, give a darn about the laws and regulations that only hurt those of us that actually follow the laws.

(That's called sarcasm for those of you in Rio Linda)
