It felt more recent. Then again, time since the Great Panic of 2008 passed in a rather chaotic manner.that FFL Newsletter is two years old, hardly " a few months ago".
I'm not sure where that's coming from. The first paragraph was highlighted for us:It also doesn't support anything you claimed
A nonimmigrant alien generally may not purchase ammunition from a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) or a nonlicensee to possess in the United States. This prohibition applies unless they establish that they meet one of the exceptions. The exception that would apply to most nonimmigrant aliens would be if they were admitted to the United States for lawful hunting or sporting purposes and/or are in possession of a valid hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States.
...and we were told that we should check the identification of anyone suspected of not being a citizen for ammunition sales.
Atlanta field division. They're fairly proactive, and they were in touch with us regarding the issue in the OP before I'd heard anything about it elsewhere.Who is sending you these ATF "notices"?
It may be that our division is a bit more proactive, given that dealers in our area have been subject to the Bloomberg sting/lawsuits, media claims about "running a pipeline of illegal guns" to New York, and a couple of major illegal gun busts involving law enforcement.
