H.R. 7166, the so-called “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act,” now has 23 cosponsors, all Democrats. It would end private ammo sales, require a photo ID in person for every box and report bigger buys to police. None of Tennessee’s U.S. House members has signed on yet, and Tennessee Gun Owners wants every one of them to know their constituents expect a no.

If you’ve ever bought ammo online and had it show up on your porch, or sold a few boxes to a buddy from church, I need you to know about H.R. 7166.

It’s called the “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act,” and it picked up another cosponsor on Oct. 5 when Rep. Troy Carter, a Louisiana Democrat, signed on. That’s 23 cosponsors now, all Democrats.

I read what it actually does. You couldn’t sell ammo unless you’re a federally licensed dealer, so private sales between Tennesseans would end. Every buyer would have to show a photo ID to the dealer in person, which effectively ends ordering online and shipping to your house. And if you buy more than 1,000 rounds in any five business days, the dealer reports it to the Attorney General and to state or local police. For folks who shoot regularly, that can be an ordinary purchase.

None of Tennessee’s U.S. House members has signed on yet. I’m glad, but I don’t count that as protection. The bill’s been in the House Judiciary Committee since Jan. 20 with no hearing and no vote, and I want every Tennessee Congressman to know before any of that happens that his constituents expect a no.

Will you sign the petition against H.R. 7166?

P.S. Only licensed dealers selling ammo, a photo ID check in person for every box, and police reports on bigger buys. That’s H.R. 7166, and 23 politicians already back it. Please sign against it here.
