Bill proposed in Congress: "To require firearms and ammunition purchases to be made in person and to require records to be kept of the means by which the purchases are made."
This proposal would ban the sale of guns and ammo through the mail. You would have to make all purchases face-to-face with a licensed gun dealer, which of course will drive up the cost of your purchase. Mail-order ammo companies would be put out of business.

What is with all these bills being introduced lately? Did they open the doors at the loony bin and just let every one out? I suppose they'll say that having tp purchase guns or ammo in person deters terrorism.
