I guess you don't know how to read laws, eh? That's OK. I can and I'll "'splain" it to you.
No wants and warrant check is conducted during an ammunition purchase. Here's the pertinent section of bill:
Section 50 of the bill enhances control over sales of ammunition by
adding a new Penal Law 400.03 requiring.......
(2) that prior to a sale of ammunition, a seller must run the buyer
through a State-created review of disqualifiers to ensure that the
buyer is not prohibited by law from possessing ammunition
So basically they hand you a sheet that asks questions similar to the Form 4473. You then check and sign the sheet and the ammo dealer looks at it to see if you've checked any disqualifiers. The ammo dealer records the transaction info electronically and maintains those records.
Now....... have you caught up with me?
