Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026
HR 7166, the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026, requires all ammunition sales to occur in person with identity verification, directly affecting licensed ammunition dealers and unlicensed buyers. The bill mandates that dealers verify a buyer’s identity using a photo ID during every transaction and prohibits online or remote sales. It also creates new recordkeeping rules requiring dealers to report multiple sales of over 1,000 ammunition rounds to an unlicensed person within 5 business days. These provisions update existing federal firearms laws to apply specifically to ammunition transactions.
