Guest Andrea Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Got this on another site........... Ammo Confiscation (*Many* Americans are scared-to-death at what's coming....) The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacturer in 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 gun! 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, and Washington. To find more about the anti-gun group that is sponsoring this legislation and the specific legislation for each state, go to: http://ammunitionaccountability.org/Legislation.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Bullet Identification Technology: A modern crime fighting tool Bullet identification technology, known as an ammunition coding technology, has been developed and will provide law enforcement with modern crime fighting tools. Ammunition coding technology assigns a unique code to every round of ammunition manufactured, and by recording sales records, law enforcement personnel will be able to easily trace the ammunition involved in a crime and have an avenue to pursue and solve even the most difficult cases. The unique code is micro-laser engraved on factory-produced ammunition. This laser engraving is etched on both the projectile and the inside of the cartridge casing. Each code will be common to a single box of cartridges and unique from all other ammunition sold. The unique ammunition codes will be tracked and records maintained to identify individual ammunition purchases. The ammunition coding technology will provide a method for law enforcement personnel to trace ammunition purchases and link bullets and cartridge cases found at crime scenes to the initial retail ammunition purchaser. This system will not necessarily prove who pulled the trigger, but it will provide law enforcement with a valuable lead and a starting point to quickly begin their investigations. The design of the ammunition coding technology laser engraving system will allow law enforcement personnel to identify the bullet code in cases where as little as 20% of the bullet base remains intact after recovery. Since bullets are designed to keep the base solid and in its original configuration, the likelihood of ammunition codes remaining legible after recovery is very high. Law enforcement testing has already shown a 99% success rate in identifying the ammunition code after bullet recovery. This has got to be the biggest bunch of BS I've ever heard of. And how are they going to enforce this? Are the cops going to carry around a bullet puller and randomly jerk bullets out of cartridges to see if they have this asinine stamp? Stupid. But then again, to the uneducated, this probably doesn't sound like a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Cannot believe Tennessee and some of the others like Mississippi are on that list, Illinois is no great surprise. Looks like I have some work to do as soon as I get a little more time, been pretty crazy here the past few days, our state law makers will be hearing from me on this very soon.

m gardner Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 That must be why I can't find reloading components or ammo here in Az. Everyone must have quite a little arsenal started. Hmmmm? The local government wants to arm the police better now too, all of a sudden. But they don't have the money. They were saying they may have the officers buy their own rifles. I hear Philadelphia is laying off city workers but looking to hire 200 more police officers (probably happening elsewhere too). I don't think we're having fun yet, but hopefully Obama will save us all!!:eek: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MIC65Frit Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Opps, guess the Founding Fathers Left a Loophole in the 2nd Ammendment. Looks like if the Anti Gun and Anti Hunting people get their way we could all be "snookered" (Don't know if I can use the Term "Scre**d" in this forum. Anyways, stock up now before the 20th of January 2009. Tell your family that you want Gift Cards to your favorite gun shop(s). Seriously. Remember the Ol "Rope a Dope" while you are watching the one hand (economy) the other is going to bust you in the chops ( all the other liberal policies that they want to put in). All I have to say is that the NRA is going to have a big fight on their hands in the next 2 years at least (Congressional Election) but more than likely the next 4 years. I know that I'm concerned that the "Checks and Balances" that we enjoyed when both parties were w/o absolute power, Now they own the Executive and the Legislative branches...YIKES! We are on the Socialism Express. OBTW, with all this bailout $ that they've given the big business's I wonder how much that would have broken out to giving the 'people' of our great country..all problems would have been solved, the Mortgage mess, the Credit Card Debt, College Tuition for our kids, the economy would have been stimulated, heck revived, the Big Three would be saved. Oh wait, the banks couldn't make all that extra money off us in interest. Lord forbid that we the people couldn't be trusted with all that $ that has been given out to the Wall Street and Insurance Street...arrgh! It's only going to get worse, thank goodness I know how to hunt and fish and I'll be able to feed my family with wild game. Try to have a good day!

terry264 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Log into nssf.org and see where this bill has been stopped. Those guys at national shooting sports foundation, NRA and others are looking out for us. Think it was being proposed in 20 states when they got it stopped.

hutchies Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Maybe they should look more into actually hitting people where it counts...........Make people on welfare take drug test........No pass No check.................same for foodstamps, government housing, government insurance assistance, and so on...........Meanwhile the common joe can't take out his kid and shoot a .22 cause our wonderful government for the people by the people is slowly trying to take away all our rights and turn us into their robots because they don't understand our way of life. They will take my guns, bows, and arrows out of my cold dead hands....................but I'll be taking a few of them with me when they try.
