With this phantom legislation enroute to the hopper (instead of the waste can) coupled with Pelosi's legislation to tax our already depleted 401Ks, we're in deep trouble.

I'll bet that a lot gets turned in, and very quickly - but not necessarily in the manner that the sponsors and supporters of this bill are contemplating. Me, I have a suspicion that lots will get turned in at speeds from 850 FPS all the way up to 3,300 or so FPS.

This is good new.

Finally wars will be ended and crime will be ended as all the armies of the world are stopped from purchasing ammunition and the police and criminals are no longer sold ammo preventing innocent citizens from being killed from no-knock raids and home invasions.

Hopefully black market ammo will be cheaper than it is now.

I see this as an awesome opportunity since it only affects criminals. According to the website it states. ...”when a potential criminal purchases a box of 9mm cartridges”. Does this mean it only this affects only 9mm ammo so it’s not an issue? (sarcasm)

My recommendation would be to enact legislation where all criminals must have a Federal ID that states they are a criminal and that they must present the ID to any intended victim prior to committing a crime.

The Federal Criminal ID Card must also be used by the criminal when they legally purchase ammunition and when they legally buy a gun.

If a non-legal gun or non-legal ammunition is used in a crime the criminal must leave a copy of his Federal ID at the scene of any crime to ensure they receive the credit for the crime committed.

Makes sense to me.... (more sarcasm)

I second the comment that you owe it to everyone to know what you are posting.

They tracked ammunition sales in the late 60s and into the 70s. The database proved to be useless for selecting possible criminal acts. It was abandon.

I guess the idiots in office are too young to remember that, or are just the usual leftists who refuse to make use of information that goes contrary to their "enlightened" decisions.

The info in the email isn’t entirely accurate or current.

Obama will seek these 4 elements in a gun bill

1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licenses will have high renewal fees ($100-300/yr). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.

2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets. Furthermore, this will require the gun to leave a microstamp of its own on the ammo. (BTW, this will also affect law enforcement and military ammunition stocks, as they will be required to have stamps of their own)

3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle. The AWB will also require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon. If you can’t afford this, you have to turn the weapon in without compensation...

4. Expansion of the Lautenberg amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.

Finally, all CCW permits will be voided. Also, all gun and ammo imports will be banned.
