The law — part of the NY SAFE Act expansion of the CCIA — requires every ammunition sale to go through a background check and an FFL transfer, adding both cost and delay for gun owners.
At NY SAFE, we’ve now transferred over 110,000 rounds of ammunition for customers who were smart enough to order online and save big. Even at our $25 flat rate for unlimited rounds, we’d happily give up the work if it meant restoring your right to buy ammo directly — because this isn’t about profit, it’s about principle.
What do you think?
Is the ammo background check a fair safeguard or another example of government overreach?
