5. You do have to be minimum age and they can request ID at stores for ammo.

If you don't believe me, go to walmart and buy some ammo. They'll ask you if it's for a pistol or rifle and to see ID. 21 for pistol ammo and 16 (or 18, i can't remember) for rifle ammo.

National ammo database would not be so bad, I think.

What sort of ammuntion amount limit-per-timeframe would be suitable?
