Interesting to see what happens with S-362, the 10 day waiting period. I'm sure the Gov would be more than happy to sign off on that one.

I think that one has a very good likelihood of making it. The glock one looks like it may have stalled but there is still time left.

So right now, can people purchase ammunition if they fail the background check, or do the people making these laws not know anything about the current laws?

The State doesn't have to make sense of the Laws, the Legislature damn sure doesn't, and between redundancy and incompatibility you can be charged forward and back.
