Ammunition Accountability Act - What is your opinion?

[NaturalRaptor]

Serious Business !!!!!!  Take ACTION with your legislators NOW!!!


Ammunition Accountability Act
Remember how Obama 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 (including Illinois and Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture, 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 handloaded 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!

Please give this the widest distribution possible and contact your Reps!

It's the ammo, not the guns . . ..
I've said for a long time that they wouldn't go for your guns, they'd go for your ammo . . . guns have a Constitutional protection . Ammo does not . A list of states where this legislation is pending is in the final paragraph . Not in CO yet, they'll go where the pansies are first .

Heads up to all of you who swore to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic . Let your state Legislatures know that we do not want this bill passed, and petition them to vote no on this bill . We should keep after them until the bill is closed by bombarding them with e-mails, phone calls, and letters ..

Get to all your politicians to get to work and NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!! The 2008 Legislative session has begun, and the Ammunition Accountability Act is being introduced across the country . Below is a list of states where legislation has already been introduced:

Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington ..

Status of pending bills in these States is at:

I have no problem with them coding our ammo.  Should help track down the people that use it for crime easier.  I'll spend .05 more a round to keep my guns, since I'm just using rounds for sport.

That is a very good point. I heard rumor about laser engraving the firing pins in 2010 on all new guns. Any spent round will be stamped with the number so they can tell which weapon fired it.

[socalrappy700]

I'm ok with those ideas, much better then taking away guns from everyone.

I have no problem w/ them coding all the ammo I have. If it makes solving crimes easier. So be it.

Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011

They will never know...

they need to worry about actually enforcing the laws they already have, not creating more.

My friend Randy has thousands and thousands of rounds.  He's a huge gun collector and picks up at least 2 or 3 a month, and every time he buys one he picks up 1k in rounds for it.  There is no chance he'll get rid of all that.

MD's link shows that this is a hoax, the bills were all dropped last year, and no new ammo legislation has been resubmitted.

Thanks, I was going to snoops this today.  But for me as a gun owner I wasn't worried about this law if it was true.

Good to know.

This one doesn't worry me too much. I wouldn't mind having ammo being tougher to get. Just buy more at one time.

ANd I know a guy who loads his own shells. Don't imagine he will stop...

I can cancel my shoot- a -thon to get rid of my ammo?

I would be concerned what my options would be since I reload. The way I look at the this $0.05 tax per round, is whats to say it won't go up down the road. They keep raising the cigarette tax, who's to say it couldn't be $1 per round at some point in time down the road.

That would be the biggest concern, once they get a foot in the door tax-wise, what's to stop them from a little bump here and there.  Next thing you know it is $1.00 a round or more.
