rebAL: I have absolutely no doubt that the state police intelligence service, if that isn't a oxymoron, will maintain a record of every single round of ammunition purchased that they can obtain. I doubt it will be a NICS check, but rather a state type of NICS background check which would not be covered under federal laws and by which the state polezi will be able to maintain (as in keep for as long as they can) information.
For example: let's say you own a bolt rifle in 223. You see a great deal on 223 ammo at your local dealers. You order 500 rounds and the dealer swipes your drivers license or pistol permit for a bacground check but it comes back denied because the state cops do not have you registered as a 'assault rifle' owner in that caliber and will not allow you to purchase the ammo until you either register your assault rifle or show them that you own another, more legal rifle, in that caliber. javol mein herr, eh....
And yes, under benito kwomo's gun law you would have to undergo a background check every time you purchase ammo and the pure cop bullsh_t the state cops spew at these clarification sessions they hold across the state that they can recognize the difference between a sport shooter, competetive shooter and someone else is just pure lyin' cop bs. This is their chance, their one and only chance to begin taking control of gun owners in the state. If they cannot confiscate the rifles, thousands at a time, to disarm the populace, then they can deny them ammo to shoot.
The most effective strategy considered is that in which we simply overwhelm the state police information services with massive purchases. We can still probably purchase through the net although it will most likely have to be sent to our dealer and the dealer will conduct the background check, or conduct the check before ordering. Rather than purchase 500 rounds of 22lr ammo, purchase 2,000; instead of buying just 500 rounds of 380 today, and next month something else, purchase it all at one time, if you can afford it. Or, purchase your ammo out of state - the cops cannot check on that and will ahve no record of it. Sort of like buying smokes and fireworks on your trips to and from Florida - no records kept. Reloading supplies are not covered under the law and can be purchased openly. I see a flourishing black market for ammo here.
And have no doubt that the bought and paid for state cops, formerly mere civil servants now turned nazi type intelligence gatherers will have absolutely no problem with storing any and all information they can obtain on ammo purchases and denying you the purchase of ammo you should be able to rightfully own. But, I have said before that if and when I need a 'assault rifle', I will just get one from a cop and take his ammo to boot, and whenever I need more ammo, get resupplied when the cops get resupplied.
So, develop a relationship with someone who lives out of state and get your massive amounts of ammo from that source, or make trips to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont or Massivetwoschmidts, all of which will probaly now set up gun and ammo shops right on the borders.
This law of kwomos will last just so long and then the people will toss his sorry butt out, or hang him upside down like they did with benito mussolini.
50 of 57 upstate counties have petitioned kwomo to repeal the act, but he is far too arrogant to repeal something he authored, so those counties refuse to comply. That leaves the 5 nyc buroughs and 5 more upstate. Forget nyc, that place has been a loss since the revolution when they finally dragged their sorry azzes into the war, after seeing that everyone else jumped in first. As for those upstate counties that support kwomo, the next elections are coming more quickly than they imagine and we, as gun owners, had damned well keep up the pressure on kwomo until he loses his kewl and starts spitting all over himself.
