Ammo Ban And Registration Proposal Getting Fresh Look
NRA and Right Side News ^ | December 15, 2008 | NRA and Jeff Baird

Posted on 12/15/2008 3:20:31 AM PST by 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.

Obama's on it. We won't need privately-held guns or ammo.

Google “taggants”.
Small pieces of firproof “paper” that encode the lot of the propellant.

They have something very similar for Taser cartridges. When the taser is fired, serialized pieces of paper fly out to mark the scene, and identify the taser cartridge serial, leading back to the buyer/owner.

Same thing could be mandated for factory-loaded shotgun ammunition.

"...0bama gave his word that gun owners have nothing to worry about...."

Yeah, but he neglected to mention "ammunition owners".

The states where these types of bills have been introduced are Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.

At least Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and South Carolina are definitely surprises.

Nothing anti-gun out of California, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, or Pennsylvania suprises me.

The dimwit Odumbo is setting the stage for a civil war, and the fool likely doesn’t even know it.

Of course I will immediately take the few thousend rounds I’ve accumulated since the Hussein election right down to my nearest police headquarters. And then my old high school team will win the Super Bowl. And my Masters invitation will come in the mail. And...

It’s interesting that they have .22LRs in their sights this time, especially the autoloaders (My Goodness, they could hold more than 15 (small) rounds!), in addition to the ammo.

"few thousend"

Good thing you don't have thousands of rounds on hand.

("Officer, I said thousend, not thousand. The NRA defines thousend as the 10ths of grainage of powder in the rounds. Here's the ten cartridges that represents. Opps, my Lab ate them. That dang dog'll eat anything.")
