The gun shop isn't going to ignore the cost of employees' time running the background check for a box of ammo. It costs them something to pay a clerk to run it, and that cost will be multiplied by X (profit margin) and added to the cost of a box of ammo. I for one think ammo is expensive enough already, especially lately!
Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at it from my vantage point as an old man, and thinking back on
the days when as a teen I could buy a brick of .22 ammo (and anything else in the way of ammo) at the local
hardware store, I find this whole conversation as mind bending as my iPhone, iPad, and iMac.
I don't think my poor old brain can take much more 'change' and I'm not talking politics.

So the real agenda and hypocrisy of the government is both indisputable and transparent. Trying to convince any objectors using facts and logic is impossible because they are not interested in the facts, only in their agenda.
Think of it this way- how many children and entire families are killed every year due to alcohol. Where is the cry for mental health checks and registration for drinkers? Why doesn't a liquor store ask for an alcohol ID card to prove someone is a registered drinker, or do a quick background check at the register anytime somebody wants to buy a bottle of bourbon, perhaps to see if they have exceeded their govt imposed limit on how many bottles they can buy in one month?
The answer is simple. Drinking doesn't interfere with the behind the scenes govt agenda to put us under one world government ( world bank, UN troops, world court, etc). Btw I drink responsibly and don't have any problem with anyone else who does the same- just trying to show how absurd the whole gun thing is.
If the governmeny wants to be our nanny then perhaps every elected official should have a mental health check before and periodically while in office. Probably an intelligence test also. Now THAT I can get behind.
Either way no one is getting any guns, ammo or magazines I have- my rights are not afforded by government- they are inalienable.
Rant over.
Carry on :-)
Reading this thread and reflecting. Does anyone else here believe that your right to self-defense is natural and that it exists regardless of the wording or interpretation of the Second Amendment? Saying that your right is "allowed" by the Constitution is an oxymoron. The reason we have a Constitution is to make sure our autonomy is not taken from us. Sadly, we seem to want to give it away.
If I've gone too far off topic, delete or move as deemed necessary. I'm here under my own volition.

The day that checks are required to get a box of ammo, it's time for war

Because one can always buy the individual components and make their own...and because those consitutionally protected firearms are rendered useless without them.
"Historical examination of the right to bear arms, from English antecedents to the drafting of the Second Amendment, bears proof that the right to bear arms has consistently been, and should still be, construed as an individual right." -- U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings, Re: U.S. vs Emerson (1999)
They can check my ammo from the end of the gun that the ammo comes out of before I ever fill out any more forms that sadly I have to.
