RICHMOND, Va. (WFXR) – Virginia’s Attorney General Mark Herring is joining 21 other Attorneys General asking Congress to close a loophole on sales of ammunition.

They are pushing for Congress to pass “Jamie’s Law,” named after one of the students killed at last year’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School in Parkland, Florida.

It would require current background check requirements for firearm sales to also apply to sales of ammunition.

Under the new law, individuals buying ammo would either have to be licensed to own a firearm or undergo a background check.
