The purpose of the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026 is to enhance regulations surrounding the sale and distribution of ammunition in the United States. The main objectives are to ensure that ammunition purchases occur in person, to require dealers to be licensed, and to mandate reporting for large purchases of ammunition. Key provisions of the Act include several important changes to existing laws. First, it requires that all sales of ammunition must be conducted face-to-face, meaning that buyers must physically meet with sellers to complete a purchase.
