Same in NY, Permit/license and every purchase has to have a Background Check.
there is currently no permit to buy ammo statewide. Maybe downstate.
There is a background check requirement passed but the implementation is stalled.
Currently I buy cases online, ship to my ffl and they log my identifying info when I pick it up.
Stupid infringement but practically not that bad.
We did just this summer get a permit/license required to buy a semiauto rifle including 22s.
For me it's just a one time endorsement on my existing handgun license.
For the new generation it's a months long background check process.
In typical random idiocy an unlicensed new yorker can now buy a semi-automatic 12g shotgun but not a semi-auto 22LR rifle.
Retard from brooklyn submitted a bill that one can only buy 20 rounds of 'assault rifle ammunition' per some time period.
There is no technical definition of assault rifle ammo!
There is also an explicit guarantee that we can still buy non assault weapon ammo.
So apparently it would be 'honor system'.
If I
say my 200 round case of 223 is for an assault weapon I can't have it.
If I
say it's for my bolt gun I can.
It's probably too stupid even for ny but lately we can never be sure.
