Ammo Ban And Registration Proposal Getting Fresh Look

NRA and Right Side News ^ | December 15, 2008 | NRA and Jeff Baird

[RightSideNews]

People would be required to separately register every box of "encoded ammunition" and the registration would be supplied to the police. Each box of ammunition would have a unique serial number, thus a separate registration. Gun owners would have to maintain records if they sell ammunition to anyone, including family members or friends. The cost of ammunition would soar, for police and private citizens alike. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturing Institute estimates it would take three weeks to produce ammunition currently produced in a single day. A tax of five cents a round would be imposed on private citizens, not only upon initial sale, but every time the ammunition changes hands thereafter.

I guess if I have to shoot an intruder on my property I will have to fork over 5 cents for each round I plant into him. I wonder if I would have to pay that 5 cent tax if I request the slugs back after the autopsy? After all it would have just been a short term loan.

Can you say “black market millionaires”.

0bama gave his word that gun owners have nothing to worry about. Besides, we won’t need guns or ammo when we have a civilian national security force. They will keep us safe./s

...and all 12 gauge shotguns.

How many bbs are in bird shot? Its going to be expensive to have every little one stamped with a serial number.

[relictele]

These proposals (if true) are comedy gold. It’s like having blind people develop the traffic code.

My sixteen gauge slug gun must be safe since it won't be included.

We are getting closer and closer to the 21st Century’s Lexington and Concord. The leftist scum who dominate government are convinced the American people are just sheep — and they are correct regarding at least half of them. But they will find that there are a good number of patriots who still love the United States and revere the Constitution, and who will not “go gently into that good night.”

"In all but one of the bills, people would be required to forfeit all personally owned non-"encoded" ammunition. After a certain date, it would be illegal to possess non-"encoded" ammunition. Reloading would be rendered illegal."

There's a couple of problems right there. Of course it's only a problem for those with or without existing ammo supplies.

obama thinks the ammo is in Texas some place.

Automatic crossbows?

[SECURE AMERICA]

Nothing more then the Socuialist end run around the US Constitution.
Total Government control of everything you do and say is on the way folks.
They are afraid of you and want to disarm you.
Once they take your weapons away it is so much easier and safer for them to take your voice away.

I would love to be a part of a crowd that took thousands of printed copies of the proposed regulations and dumped them into a harbor....a sort anti legilation tea party if you will...

[FreeAtlanta]

I don’t think our founding fathers would have stood by for this.

[stockpirate]

I wonder how many gun owners here on FR bash those who support the COLB iissue but will want the COLB surpporters to fight this issue concerning the 2nd.

Couldn’t they also reply that a suit against this law would go no where?

I am BTW pro 2nd.

[kenth]

They had their revolution long before it got to this point. They wouldn’t recognize their own country.
