Register Bullets? Deja Vu

According to its sample legislation, manufacturers would be forced to code all ammunition sold in the state. Private citizens and retail outlets would be required to dispose of all non-coded ammunition no later than Jan. 1, 2011.

Each vendor would record the following information about customers who buy the ammunition: Date, name, driver's license or ID number, date of birth and ammunition identifier. The businesses would maintain records for three years from the date of purchase.

Once again anti-gunners try to curtail shooting sports by registering ammunition purchases and taxing honest gun owners to pay for a proven fruitless exercise.

How about putting criminals behind bars and keeping them there? Perhaps that's to simple. We had ammo registration in New York when I was growing up. Experience showed that the system did virtually nothing to lower crime rates or to assist in criminal prosecution. Thankfully the registration and recordkeeping was dropped.

And tell me...

Do you think gangbangers will have a hard time getting ammo?

And who's going to come to my door to confirm that I've turned in all my non-registered ammo?

Barry's armed civilian "enforcement" league that's equally funded as the military. And, if they don't like the answer you give them when they come for your ammo and God knows what else, it's off to the re-education camp for you. Get with the program. Dear Leader is here to stay.

They don’t honestly care about your ammunition. It’s nice that they can charge with possession of such if they want, but the point is to create a stealth registry, and a database with detailed knowledge of who owns what type of weapon. If you purchase 5.56mm it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what sort of weapon you likely have.

After all there is no point to the coding unless they know who it was sold to.

And might I ask . . . Are they planning to regulate people who reload as well?

Not if I have anything to say about it.
Do your part and write the electors, your congressman, and the supremes. Do the WND fedX contacts.
Make a fuss before the fuss is upon US.

Oh not true.
I always use my 5.56mm in a piece of pipe that I hit with a Craftsman hammer.
No harm in that.

Yeah, I know what you are saying but try explaining that to the nice Obama Blueshirts!

"Private citizens and retail outlets would be required to dispose of all non-coded ammunition no later than Jan. 1, 2011."

The thought of those jackasses even dreaming of that being enforced is just hilarious. Time to purchase some loading tools I suppose...

Nay.
“They” wouldn’t do that.
Actually it’s possible they would be so stupid to miss the reloading aspect. Look at the mega tobacco tax on cigarettes. Stupid Clinton/Gore FAILED to tax cigars. I got such a hoot out of smoking Swishers for next to nothing while my buds were paying $3 a pack for marlboros. I tried to convert them to little cigars but they kept gettin’ dizzy when they tried ‘em.

Problem with reloading is that you have to get the chemicals. The ammo companies do a great job controlling quality for the most part. Where are reloaders gonna get saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal? Yes, I know it can be done but I’d rather stockpile proven rounds. After all...

I can only shoot so many deer, rabbits, or terrorists.
I figure my supply will outlast this stupid administration.

You might need to shoot a few communists and totalitarian fascists too. :)

Yup.

And I’ve heard “I dropped in the lake”, “I sold it to a guy I met in a bar” and “It broke so I threw it away”
excuses don’t cut it with the BATF folks.

Oh, I’ve never done “time” but given circumstances, Mr. O may see to it that I do in the future.

Your tag line cracked me up.
I might have to borrow that sometime if you don’t mind.

Yup.
And I don’t see a problem with that.
They get on my property without my permission,
and they’re takin’ a chance that’s not rational.

Where I live, $hit can happen - ya know?

Better yet why don’t they make us put our names on our bullets? I don’t know about this!

Sounds like an invitation, if you ask me.

Yup.
I’ve got an idea.
Why not give shooters all the ammo currently in armories around the nation. Then we can just blow it all off and
-— gee - no problem. I’d be happy to help. Plus, we would increase employment cause workers at the Olin/Rem plants would have to do O/T to replace stocks or hire new folks.
I know I wouldn’t keep any for myself. Surely you wouldn’t either.

Well, maybe just a little for my cartridge collection. Say a pallet or two...

Surely you meant “pellet or two”. I mean, what would one do with a “pallet” of ammo.
