Have any of you heard this? I just received this on MySpace today.

Watch<WBR> your ammo!

Subj:<WBR> Anti-<WBR>gunne<WBR>rs alrea<WBR>dy attac<WBR>king your guns!

Remem<WBR>ber how the Obama<WBR>natio<WBR>n said that he wasn'<WBR>t going<WBR> to take your guns?<WBR> Well,<WBR> it seems<WBR> that his minio<WBR>ns and allie<WBR>s in the anti-<WBR>gun world<WBR> have no probl<WBR>em with takin<WBR>g your ammo!

The bill that is being<WBR> pushe<WBR>d in 18 state<WBR>s (<WBR>inclu<WBR>ding Illin<WBR>ois and India<WBR>na) requi<WBR>res all ammun<WBR>ition<WBR> to be encod<WBR>ed by the manuf<WBR>actur<WBR>e a data base of all ammun<WBR>ition<WBR> sales<WBR>.

So they will know how much you buy and what calib<WBR>ers. Nobod<WBR>y can sell any ammun<WBR>ition<WBR> after<WBR> June 30, 2009 unles<WBR>s the ammun<WBR>ition<WBR> is coded<WBR>.

Any priva<WBR>tely held uncod<WBR>ed ammun<WBR>ition<WBR> must be destr<WBR>oyed by July 1, 2011.<WBR> (<WBR>Inclu<WBR>ding handl<WBR>oaded<WBR> ammo.

)

They will also charg<WBR>e a .

05 cent tax on every<WBR> round<WBR> so every<WBR> box of ammo

you buy will go up at least<WBR> $2.

50 or more!

If they can depri<WBR>ve you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!

This legis<WBR>latio<WBR>n is curre<WBR>ntly pendi<WBR>ng in 18 state<WBR>s: Alaba<WBR>ma, Arizo<WBR>na, Calif<WBR>ornia<WBR>, Conne<WBR>cticu<WBR>t, Hawai<WBR>i, Illin<WBR>ois, India<WBR>na, Kentu<WBR>cky, Maryl<WBR>and, Missi<WBR>ssipp<WBR>i, Misso<WBR>uri, New Jerse<WBR>y, New York,<WBR> Penns<WBR>ylvan<WBR>ia, Rhode<WBR> Islan<WBR>d, South<WBR> Carol<WBR>ina, Tenne<WBR>ssee,<WBR> and Washi<WBR>ngton<WBR>.

This was shot down last legislative session in Tennessee...with the repubs in charge coming next session...I don't look for it to come back...at least not for a while.

[Mike.357]

sadly this time I think the sky is falling

[jughead]

what ammo????????????????

[G27]

Unless a brand new bill has been proposed in the Tennessee house or senate, I think the Ammunition Accountability Act died in committee in April of this year...

[Guest coldblackwind]

Ammo? I have no ammo. I buy it only as necessary, and use it all each trip to the range.

[G27]

You have your own guns?

I rent mine every trip to the range...

[Guest coldblackwind]

whoa there hoss, I said I buy the ammo when i go to the range, I never said I have any guns of my own, I don't condone the owning of firearms, I just come here because I get lonely

[Guest ChiefSmitty]

I wonder if this accountability would make it easier to pursue any would be offenders. You know the same way gun laws do.

[Angus]

Both guns and their ammunition disgust me...I am soo angry that anyone would own anything of that kind..how in-humane...just plane crazy.

Ok, gotta run, off to the range to "watch" people shoot.

[BrasilNuts]

So what happens when marked ammunition is stolen? It will be used in the commission of crimes and will not be able to be traced back to anyone. This is stupid legislation.

[Guest nraforlife]

Feel good, touchy feely BS

[Guest Astra900]

This is the same kind of Bull:poop: The People's Republic Of Kalifornia tried a few years ago when they wanted ammo manufacturers to laser etch a bar code onto each bullet and a corresponding code onto the casing it was loaded in. All a crock of

[Guest Major Pain]

Make work legislation so the self important bureaucrat can get his name on a bill and maybe get his crony a job on a committee.--MP

[Guest Linoge]

Unfortunately, the People's Republic of Kalifornistan did pass legislation concerning microstamping casings as they are fired out of semiautomatic firearms. Of course, such microstampings can easily be removed from any firearm, they do not imprint well on all ammunition, and it will increase the cost of firearms considerably... but the law-makers do not really care. They wanted to do "something", regardless of the efficacy or idiocy of that something.

Same thing here, different story.

Why do I think the folks behind the legislation/webpage have some financial ties to a company that just happens to make the laser-etching technology for the bullets? Same story in Kalifornistan...

[Guest MEC]

The reality is these are not the ideas of idiots but smart people who figured out that they don't have to ban guns, there by risking there jobs, if they can quietly make it financially difficult for the majority of people to buy them or feed them. This is the same strategy that brought us the '34 NFA.

How bout etching the middle finger on each bullet?

[Guest krater]

Bills like this get intro'd and killed every year. Only in the commie states do they stand more than a 1% chance of passing.

The NRA/etc loves them as fundraising issues.

[ioerror001]

Maybe they should make ammo manufactures place tiny GPS locators and id chips in every bullet, then in addition to being able to track every bullet, they can make all guns as in accurate as possible with the chip causing it to tumble in flight .... then noone can kill anyone

Or at least who you're aiming at.

[Guest cjr]

There is no corporation etching ammo or at least they have not asked for a bail out yet!

[Guest 04heritage]
