New York gun owners grapple with new background check fees for ammunition purchases
CLAY, N.Y. — On September 13, gun owners in New York State will have to go through a background check every time they want to buy ammunition and those background checks aren't free.

The news about the state implementing changes. didn’t exactly thrill Syracuse Pistol Club president Bill Bender, "Everybody is concerned. The dealers are concerned because they have received no information from the state police yet."

It will be $9 for the firearm background fee and $2.50 for the ammunition fee. The money will go towards the New York State Police to perform those checks, “Now the governor and assembly are adding all this extra work to them. How long is it going to take them to perform these background checks?”

Background checks for ammo purchases is just dumb.

Paying per purchase makes buying by the pallet seem reasonable.
