Wonder how long it will take for this to get to the SC.

Doggone, why go after the guns, or the ammo, just go after the people who shoot other people. Pull'em in. Take'em off the street. Lock'em up.

Seems simple enough to me!

What part of “right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” do they not understand. This is clearly an infringement on bearing arms.

I couldn’t agree more with this article. This is a Psycho-recession.

Time to make a range simulator "gun" that provides kick and sound like a real pistol for simulated fire ranges. Build in in various popular pistol styles and allow it to vary in kick based on the type of ammo selected. That way you can get hours of practice without burning up any of your precious hoard of ammunition.

No, it won't be as fun as blowing apart a target, but at least you'll get more than pointing at the target and saying "Bang!" for practice.

One of the uses for this bill is to enahnce wongful death suits, particularly for police and I think once they think this bill through, most municipalities would like it to fail.

If the ideal is to stop criminals by tracing who purchased the ammo I wonder if they have brass catchers outlawed in this bill? Doubt it. Even if they do, not that hard to make a homemade brass catcher. Also, the bad guy might actually just bend over and pick his brass up after shooting someone. Or, the bad guy just might use a revolver.

Is there any reason to encode .454 ammo? I don’t think there is a pistol that shoots this ammo. This is all just so stupid and aimed at the law abiding citizen, not the criminal.

They are welcome to all of my ammo that they can catch as it exits the barrel of my M-4.

There are several alternative ways in which ammunition can be curtailed. To start with are prohibitions on its components.

Primers, for example, can be difficult to fabricate, and also difficult to insert into casings. So them, as well as propellant, will be the top target of the anti-gun groups. Efforts will likely also be made to prevent the manufacture of casings in the typical ammunition calibers.

And there is a big difference between “just” ammunition, and quality ammunition. Efforts will be made to raise its costs, curtail its quality, and force the use of adulterants to the propellant, as well as prohibiting the use of lead ammunition.

Then there will be efforts to take out as many ammo makers as they can, license every stage of manufacture, distribution and sale, such as requiring “personal ammunition retailer” licenses, with annual renewal and high fees. And taxes everywhere.

Sure. Come and get it. In person.

The government has never been able to stop booze from coming into the U.S., or illegal drugs for same reason; also add keep illegal aliens from entering.

How in the hell will the government keep ammunition from sneaking in?
