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

I live in California. I buy all my ammunition from out of state via the Internet.

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?

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

'Nother pure Barbara Streisand anti-gun measure. Its laughable since putting ID on bullets won't help in identifying a criminal. Like criminals would be so stupid as to use bullets that can be traced back to them. DUH. All this bill will do is increase the costs of making gun ammunition without denting crime one iota. Talk about another symbolic "feel good" gesture. Back to ID? There are lots of ways ID can be circumvented or defeated. Just don't expect Joe Dunn and California liberals to acknowledge the obvious.

The only effect this will have is to increase the number of homicides committed with shotguns (sawed off or any other variety).

What's next--serialize shot (00 buckshot down to #7½ or #8 shot)??

Time to start handloading in the PRK

Joe Dung AGAIN?

Does this man have anything better to do? Like his stupid idea for reparations wasn't enough.
