Almost 2,400 people were murdered in California in 2003, and two-thirds of them were with guns, according to Griffin Dix, president of the California chapter of the Million Mom March, a national survivors-rights organization. But 45 percent of those cases are unsolved, according to Department of Justice statistics. In San Joaquin County, about 36 percent of homicide cases weren't solved in 2003.

Gee, if the state was able to execute most of those on death row, many of whom used guns in the commissions of their crimes, maybe a deterrent effect would reduce numbers like the 2003 total.

Nyahhh. what was I thinking? The c'Rats want it both ways , always have, always will, to not be held accountable for coddling criminals but only too happy to make life hell for those left behind, in the name of the greater good.

I for one hope those idiots pass that legislation with no exemption for military or LE. It'd be great to see ammunition manufacturers completely pull out of KA and force the police minions of that socialist cesspool have to sneak into Nevada to buy unmarked ammo because everything else is either too expensive or unavailable in KA.

If they executed them how would they get their vote in future elections?

This guy Joe Dunn is out of control. I hadn't seen him much before, but this is the third time he cropped up this week (reparations for Mexican deportations and Nixing the Constit'l Amendment defining marriage--click keyword above for articles). He needs to be replaced.... ASAP! LOL.

If all ammo had to be serial numbered, ammo prices would skyrocket while availability would plummet - just what gun grabbers dream of.

From what I understand of the bill, it will be illegal to possess ammunition that isn't serialized. I have no doubt that the senate will pass this travesty. Perhaps Arnold will veto it.

Several weeks ago, Sen. Joe Dunn, D-Garden Grove, unveiled a bill proposing the serialization of all ammunition sold in California starting in July 2007.

The proposal would require vendors to sell ammunition with an identification number zapped on the bullet and casing, and buyers would have to register their purchase with the Office of the Attorney General.

What a kick azz idea! I bet if they put numbers on guns the firearm related crime would vanish... right?

No it won't.

The entreprenure in me will crank up his reloading press and ship ammo into CA from my website... and CA can suck wind.

This will only effect businesses that are stupid enough to still be located in the Peoples Republic.

I think any legislator sponsoring stupid gun control schemes should have the bill number permanently tattoo'd to their forehead. So when they cross the line we'll know who to shoot first.

Aren't serial numbers and registration great?

He did veto the bullet tax last year ( .10 per round), which was helpful, but he signed the .50BMG ban, so ya never know.

Just like cigarettes?
And were seeing how much of a unknown person you are and well that works. Guess what Internet purchases are the next target?

let's hope he has a new shipment of veto pens and cigars ready to go, the sheer number of bills that will be crossing his desk this year will be ginormous.

The cost of those shipments will increase dramatically or those shipments will halt immediately if this bill passes. Manufacturers may not be willing to incur the cost to comply with this bill and if they do, they will pass it on to the users. The bill is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt by the grabbers to eliminate ammunition coming into the state.

Prices also would be affected because serialization of the 8 billion cartridges that are produced each year...

8 billion? That would require, mmmmmm, ten digits. Plus two for the year, I suppose. Maybe one more, to allow for production to reach ten billion.

Thirteen unique id digits. That gonna fit on a .22 short...???

Too many people are not only willing to live in a police state but actually WANT to love in a police state.

Uh, no. That's why they will require all ammunition produced to be .50 BMG... just think of the brilliance... the serial number will fit... and the serial number will never get disfigured by firing because all .50BMG firearms are illegal!
