How does buying ammunition trigger it?
Don't you just pay your money, show your licence and walk out the door?

A lot of places now take your licence details when you hand it over to buy ammo now. I'm not sure if its legislated now or just plain arse covering!!!

Don't know, but according to the wording, it's not till 2025.

Can we presume that by 2025 each ammunition purchase will be registered against your name?

Yes, such that they can then say "why are you buying .44mag ammo? You don't own a .44mag rifle....."

As per their website ammunition is not going to be required to be registered.

Currently retailers have an obligation to record details for ammunition sales. Similar to what they have to do for firearms.

who are THEY???? in theory the police COULD..but a retailer shouldnt have that information..so it would be only able to happen if police do a double check after sale is completed.
