Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 It has already started.... Ammunition Accountability Legislation
Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!
The bill 20 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 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 .
Send to your friends in these states AND fight to dissolve this BILL!! 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
Destroyed? Okay. If you say so.
Uh oh
yup. i just want to know how you get the serial number from a spent slug?
Destroyed? Ha. How about USED?
buy now and buy often.
Simple challenge: DC v Heller
What happens to those who defy this BULLSH!T law?
Come and get my ammo, you commie storm troopers!!!
Here it is indeed!
Well I guess I’ll have to move....
This has been tried before in many states and has always failed. I guess the tactic is to keep reintroducing versions of the bill.
Washington state is just pistol - so far.
I wonder how they will implement this with shotguns.
I’ll send it to them express delivery via my gun barrel.
One source of mine said the ammo manufacturers have already refused to do this.
Or Used.
Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.
What happens if you use it before then? I have a feeling this point will be moot by 2011.
DOA in Pennsylvania.
Come on down to Texas y’all. We’ll organize and pool our resources!
someone on another thread pointed out that the Federal Gubmint won’t have to do anything......this is the Acorn, Community Organizer Tactic = Localism (one state at a time)

Check out this other thread that talks about a local Acorn guy who also happens to be a black minister (ring a bell?) who proposed legislation in Durham.

Texas or Florida
This will be an open Declaration of War.
I suppose they are going to encode every pellet in a load of birdshot? I think there are nine slugs in 12 ga 00 buckshot.
black market, here I come.
We have family near Ft.Worth and that is our fallback plan for when TSHTF. We’ll bring all our guns and ammo.
Oh, yeah, I guess if just one state passes this, that state will no longer have ammunition sales.
btt
Do you have a source for any of that? Your link points to something about the 2008 legislative session.
If one joins the NRA won’t that put one on a list?
I followed the Tennesee links, the Senat link is a dead end, and there is no such House bill in the Tennessee registry.
I smell a hoax.
If caught with an uncoded round, you'd likely become a felon and lose your right to own firearms. Just as they hope.
Come on down to Texas y’all. We’ll organize and pool our resources.
Texas is still the land of the free and home of the brave. I’d make freedoms last stand there.
also DOA in Indiana. No fool would vote for that here... Well, I guess I wouldn’t put money on that bet
I already got rid of mine... just in case. It’s for the children.
From Georgia? You better think twice about not prepositioning stuff. Because you can be sure every bridge across the mississippi is going to be manned.

This legislation has never made it out of committee here in Arizona, nor is it likely to.
This appears to be old news, unless you have links to actual bills currently pending in State Legislatures...
The site Ammunition Accountability belongs to the guy who holds the patent on the process that *could* theoretically be used to serialize brass and bullets.
The state level bills have all died in committee or otherwise, and will need to be reintroduced.
That said, with Eric Holder as AG having control of BATFE, and with The Messiah in the Oval Office, anything is possible.
As I posted earlier, there is no such House Bill in Tennessee, but there are many, gun owner friendly bills, such as one that allows a licensed carrier to carry in a state park.
The Washington bill is dated Feb 2008 lie the Pennsylvania Bill.
Nothing as happened in a year, and this crap is going nowhere. - At least on a state by state level. I do not believe that any state would pass legislation on its own. It might backfire and the manufacturers refuse to sell to the state law enforcement agencies.
The state level bills have all died in committee or otherwise, and will need to be reintroduced.
It might get somewhere in the liberal states, but the rest are just introduced for political show.
You are correct. Tennessee appears to have a great many laws regarding firearms that look pretty sensible. Also have the Second ammendment Protective Act. No such bill as SB 3245 or 3395 appear listed.
Could this website be a hoax?
