The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026 would prohibit online and mail-order sales of ammunition by requiring all ammunition purchases to occur face-to-face. The bill would establish a licensing system for ammunition dealers (similar to the existing system for firearms dealers) and require licensed dealers to verify a buyer's identity using a photo ID before completing any ammunition sale. The legislation also mandates that ammunition dealers report to federal, state, and local law enforcement whenever they sell more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition to a single unlicensed buyer within any five consecutive business days. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines beyond requiring compliance with the reporting requirements on the same day a bulk sale occurs. This legislation would primarily affect ammunition retailers, shooting enthusiasts, and hunters who currently purchase ammunition online.
