The chain of idiocy here is truly awe inspiring. Someone came up with this ridiculous idea. They unashamedly made a business proposal. They were taken seriously. They got investors. They somehow got licensing/legal approval, which is my “favorite” part. One of their advertising angles is SAFETY. Now, they intend to expand.

Depends entirely on the state. In Illinois, you have to show a FOID card to buy ammo. In Utah, you don't need to show anything to buy a whole gun.

Google search shows you need to show ID to buy a gun in Utah
