AN ACT To amend chapters 407 and 571, RSMo, by adding thereto three new sections relating to the sale of ammunition, with penalty provisions.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapters 407 and 571, RSMo, are amended by adding thereto 2 three new sections, to be known as sections 571.175, 571.178, and 571.180, to 3 read as follows:
571.175. Effective January 1, 2011, a person commits the crime
2 of unlawful possession of uncoded ammunition if he or she possesses
3 ammunition that has not been coded as required under section 571.180
4 or where the code on such ammunition has been rendered
5 unreadable. Unlawful possession of uncoded ammunition is a class A
6 misdemeanor.
571.178. Effective March 1, 2009, a person commits the crime of
2 unlawful sale of uncoded ammunition if he or she sells any ammunition
3 that has not been coded as required under section 571.180. Unlawful
4 sale of uncoded ammunition is a class A misdemeanor. 571.180. 1. The department of public safety shall be responsible

3 database containing information provided by manufacturers and
4 vendors of firearms, as required by subsection 2 and 3 of this
5 section. Such database shall be created and operational by January 1,
6 2009. Information in the ammunition coding system database shall be
7 released only at the request of law enforcement agencies for use in a
8 criminal investigation. As used in this section, the term "coded
9 ammunition" shall mean a bullet carrying a unique identifier that has
10 been applied by etching onto the base of the bullet projectile.
More liberal insanity.
So basically reloading is illegal and any ammo you have from before this abortion is illegal. I don’t think this goes anywhere. It is pure harrassment and a backdoor attempt to ban firearms by attacking ammo.
Should be interesting how they would plan to enforce this crap on muzzleloaders.

The bill is Anti Gun Boiler Plate Legislation that I think was first tried in California (Without Success). The Senator herself is from St Louis and is the usual urban radical crapbag.
“When in the Course of human events...”
Is this being pushed by the anti-gun crowd or the company that developed the “technology”?
As hard as it might be to believe, the People’s Republic of Maryland just rejected similar legislation. I’m sure it’s only being set aside until after November 4, when the voters fancies have returned to football and Friends reruns.
Bray = donkey. Donkey = bray. Democrat = braying donkey?
MA has one such bill lurking around the legislature.
A similar bill has been introduced in the Arizona Legislature. I don’t think it’ll go far.
Wow! I guessed that long before I even looked at her pic!
Hey, I got a good idea; Why don’t they pass a law that all firearms be equipped with Onstar? Then they can report in every time they are fired, kinda like when the airbag deploys on a car.
Maybe it would be simpler if they just banned firearms./s
The Rats are pushing this in Hawaii as well.
Such a thing (whether referring to tagged ammunition or the gun location recorder) might make sense for law-enforcement firearms. Officers are required to report every time their duty weapon is fired for any reason; using coded ammunition and electronic tracking would not only help ensure compliance, but it could also help revolve the sequence of events when cops get involved in a shootout.
Ironically, the only place where these technologies would do some good would be the only one exempted from using them.
BLOAT
Interesting last she’s got there...
Thankfully the mo senate is republican held for the moment. still. This should make an excellent election year issue.
Time to make Nixon squirm like the worm he is.
Elected by the dead.
