GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

Looks like ammo sales in AZ & NV will rise in the near future.

Could be, F.U.

But, I think buying ammo (as opposed to guns) across state lines might be less convenient than just getting the permit, especially if the background checks are 'instant' by that time. If the would-be buyers can't pass a background check, then making it harder for them to get ammo, by driving them to another state, is fine by me.

To me, these new laws really hurt the gun shop owners more than they hurt or help anyone else though. Those business owners will be subject to more permit costs and administrative costs to conduct the same transactions with the same customer base. Maybe they'll raise their prices to absorb some/all of that? If so, so long as the price increase is less than it would cost ammo purchasers to facilitate an interstate purchase, the gun shops probably won't be driven out of business.

I'm going through the same thing with sweeping labor laws/regulations upping my cost of business every year. Unfortunately, my customer base is largely fixed-income, so I can't raise my prices to absorb much of the cost increase like restaurants and possibly gun shop owners can.
