Is This Legal

Gary is correct. The fellow needs a TYPE 06 FFL. It appears as if he already has a TYPE 01 FFL.

If you are not manufacturing or re-manufacturing ammunition for sale, then you do NOT need an FFL to buy, sell, trade or purchase the ammunition.

Here is the information from the BATFE in regards to this

Here is the specific quote which includes the relevant penal code section. [18 U.S.C. 923(j), 27 CFR 478.100]
So here is the deal ... NO license or FFL is required just to deal in ammunition only. However; any manufacturer or importer of ammunition must be licensed. The FFL type classification for this is a TYPE-06 FFL.

From what I can gather ... getting your TYPE-06 FFL is pretty darned easy to get. It is about as easy to get as a TYPE-03.

It is the TYPE-01, (dealer of firearms) and the TYPE-07, (mfr of firearms FOR RESALE) that are difficult to get. Actually; the Federal requirements for the TYPE-01 and the TYPE-07 are not that difficult. The difficulty usually arises due to local and state restrictions ... especially here in California.

Another NOTE: For most states, (other than Commie ... California, Massachusetts, Illinois and a few others ... doing a transfer inside of state boundaries usually does NOT require an FFL. Also; from what I can gather outside the Commie states ... most PPT, (person-to-person) transfers do not require any background check, (the so-called gun show loophole).

The FFL system was the anti-gun way of circumventing the 2nd amendment. The FFL system is a way for the Federal government to "regulate" interstate commerce on ALL firearms.

Instead of knocking down your right to keep and bear arms, (clearly unconstitutional) ... They attack your right to access and transfer arms. And since the Constitution strictly forbids Congress from enacting ANY law regulating intrastate commerce. They politicians, in 1968, used the "Commerce Clause" loophole in the US Constitution to get around regulating access and transfer across state lines, (interstate commerce).

One of the peculiar things about the "Commerce Clause" and 2A is if you happen to be a resident of two states... You can do the following:
1. You can purchase as much stuff as you want in your primary residence .... ONLY.
2. You can then transport your firearms to your place of residence in another state ... (you are expressing your right to keep and bear across State boundaries)

Of course ... State and Local regulations still apply, and are supposed to trump the Federal Law ... This trumping of the Federal statutes, (14th amendment) is also un-constitutional. But the politicians still do it.

There is an amendment ... the fourteenth, 14th amendment which applies the Constitutions, (due process and equal protection clause) throughout the United States. It was the invocation of the 14th amendment which got the SCOTUS to rule  McDonald vs. The City of Chicago (complete handgun ban) as un-constitutional

I can go on and on ... Living in California has made me keenly aware of all the gun control laws here in California and in the rest of the USA.

We are fighting all of this tooth and nail ... and everyone here at 2A Munitions should do so too!
