Note from Travis McGee: I receive this six page "Inside News" industry newsletter, put out by the Firearms Marketing Group, an organization which publishes a lot of glossy gun magazines. I haven't heard of laser etching bullets before, and thought it might be of interest to the RKBA crowd here. Sounds great for catching crooks, but what are the downside risks to our gun rights?

Is Randy Rossi related to the Italian company Rossi which manufactures firearms?

1. It won't work.
2. It will be expensive.
3. It will be illegal to own bullets that aren't laser tagged.
4. The registration system will cost money, and will be payed for by adding an exorbitant tax to bullets.
5. Did I mention it won't work?

If it doesn't work on .22s, it probably doesn't work on
any soft lead (non-jacketed) rounds.

But beyond that, if the former ammo-logging under the
BATF never solved a crime, why would they expect to
find the actual per after a serialized bullet trace?

Costs? Phenomenal. Yet another reason for reasonable
people to get the heck out of kahlifornya.

A serial number on every bullet?? Baloney!

"but what are the downside risks to our gun rights?"

Criminals breaking into your home to steal your laser etched ammo for starters.

No problem; I load my own.

If reloading becomes illegal (and I really cannot see that happening) then I will be a lawbreaker.

I heard that the UID marking is only 1/2 of the proposal. The other half is requiring ammo buyers to submit fingerprints at the time of purchase, thus forever linking the ammo and the buyer. This is a HUGE threat to the 2nd amendment - "they" want to control the ammo, as guns are worthless without it.

There is nothing too idiotic for a gun banner.

Save your Brass! CYA!

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm not familiar on California law, but I know the AG there has "Stroke of the pen, law of the land" powers on gun bans...(by calling them assault weapons).

Does he have broad powers on ammo too?

I was doing research on FREESTONE COUNTY Texas and got a newspaper thats not online to send me a free copy. There is an ad there for the county wildlife management agency holding a fundraiser at a public high school, they are gonna be giving away GUNS!!! to KIDS!!!

I LOVE RURAL TEXAS

[Anti-Bubba182]

SheesH, I misread, they are talking about bullets. Good lord!

Cast Bullet molds, swaging, none of those supplies are regulated, and they never have been, that I know of.

This is a waste and Police state fantasy. Do they think criminals won't steal ammunition or that it will not be sold underground?

[prophetic]

bump

[flashbunny]

How nice.

A person trying to sell bullets that will infringe on our second amendment rights and cost us more money to shoot.

This A-hole can get bent.

[M Kehoe]

The cost of ammo would be a consideration also.

5.56mm

[monkeyshine]

Why do they want to create a bigger black market for bullets?

A full tracking of how much ammo you buy. followed closely by a report from you to the GOVMT explaining where you used the ammo, and what your current inventory is.

Up to now, there is no tracking of anyone who buys ammo.

Time to tell Lockyear to go and suck a fat baby's a$$.
