This is from an e-mail I got. It isn't limited to just Arizona(Arizona stuff's in there because of where I'm at), but 17 other states. So, I figured some of you may find this interesting.
ARIZONA HB2833
Coded Ammunition; State Database
Sponsors:
Martha Garcia (D) District 13 mgarcia@azleg.gov
Linda Lopez (D) District 29 llopez@azleg.gov
Manual Alvarez (D) District 25 malverez@azleg.gov
David Bradley (D) District 28 dbradley@azleg.gov
Cloves Campbell, Jr. (D) District 16 clcampbell@azleg.gov
Please contact the legislators above and express your opinion relating to the viability of coded ammunition and having a state data base with your information in it!
Far easier to just delete this; but if you act now to head off this foolishness you can save a much bigger fight in the future
Secondly, please contact the representatives in your home district and encourage to them to vote against HB 2833
Finding your representative is very simple at www.az.leg.gov
Please get involved now! Our ability to protect ourselves will only become more dire if we are complacent.
"When a government is big enough to give you
everything you want, it is big enough to take
everything you have"..........Thomas Jefferson
Remember how the Obamanation said that he wasn't
going to take your guns?
Well, it seems that his minions and allies in the anti-gun
world have no problem with taking your ammo!
The bill that is being pushed in 18 states that requires all ammunition to be encoded by
the manufacturer and a data base of all ammunition sales.
So they will know how much you buy and what calibers.
Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009
unless the ammunition is 'coded'.
Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed
by July 1, 2011. (Including hand-loaded ammo.)
They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so
every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your guns!
This legislation is currently pending in 18 states:
* Alabama * Arizona * California * Connecticut * Hawaii * Illinois * Indiana * Kentucky * Maryland * Mississippi * Missouri * New Jersey * New York * Pennsylvania * Rhode Island * South Carolina * Tennessee * Washington

You can see it's status here...
But it went into committee on 2/21/08 and hasn't come out yet, so I think it's probably intentionally bottled up.
Isn’t it possible to make your own ammunition?
I remember a neighbot who used to do that. He was a gun collector, and found he could save money making his own.
Even if Napolitano didn’t make it it wouldn’t go through I always thought. The legislature here is too conservative to let it get through. I was mostly posting this as a heads up to those in other states that are considering this idiotic legislation.
You underestimate our resourcefulness.
I beg to differ, it’s you who overestimate the vast majority of citizens and their willingness to stand up against tyranny.
Some of us will, but those few won’t be a teacup in a tidal wave compared to the number who will kneel in submission.
I hate being negative about this, but right now with emperor hussein poised to seize the reins of power, I’m not inclined to think well of the citizens of America.
Even possession of unstamped ammo will be a crime.
going hunting? They can check your magazine for registered bullets under this deal. The lead left in that deer you shot could be submitted to make sure the game kill was with legal ammo. Don’t forget to pay your bullet tax that pays for law enforcement and maintaining the bulllet buyer registry.
The group responsible is trying to amend state laws in 18 states on ammo. gotta fight them fiercely.
Technically, I think it’s a 500% increase in the (now) 11% tax that you mean. That brings it to 55%...still prohibitive, and probably not where they’d stop.
Anyone watching the Banglist since the election knows that there won't be any ammo on retailer's shelves. They'll just take it out of the shipping crates and deposit it in the outstretched hands of customers.
For now. Look for more California style legislation making lead all but a controlled substance. Powder, primers will be subject to price increases, availability...remember when they went after powder manufacturers on OSHA pretenses?
Understood but it might be time to break the laws.
I don't either, but remember almost half of America didn't vote for Hussein and that half will use passive resistance if the government goes too far. At some point enough will be enough. Giving the appearance of cooperating while using the tactics of delay, delay, delay is very effective.
