He admits that guns can be bought "through a third party, on the streets, black market . . . " instead of buying at a "brick and mortar store." It's noteworthy that he wasn't as candid about ammo being purchased the same way. So the only people who will feel the impact on restrictions on the method of purchasing ammo would be law-abiding citizens -- the same ones who would be forced to buy at his store.

If this passes is it really the worst thing in the world? Hardly. If you don't want to be on a report don't buy more than 1000 rounds in a 5 day period. Just like many of you won't buy 2 or more handguns in 5 days. At this stage it isn't worded that ammo will be restricted, just that large purchases be reported. Also that ammo must be purchased at a brick and mortar store just like firearms, which I am not totally opposed to. Think about it, if you are not able to legally purchase a firearm there are ways of getting One through a third party, on the streets, black market- call it what you want. Purchasing ammo online makes it easier for these guys to load those weapons and cause harm. Maybe if ammo sales are restricted to real store fronts it may cut down on some of that action. Guns are useless without bullets.
