New York Assemblyman Felix Ortiz is a legislative genius. When last we checked on his work, he was planning to GPS-enable every new gun in the state, and require firearm owners to have just the sort of insurance that the state was busily shutting down. Amidst all of that, I somehow missed another one of his bills.
A03779 Establishes a statewide database to maintain and track coded ammunition; establishes penalties for individuals who violate such provisions; also establishes the ammunition coding system database fund.
That’s all bad enough. Basically, it would require every single, individual cartridge in the state, for handguns and “assault weapons,” to be stamped with a unique identifying code and tracked from point of manufacture to the end buyer. In other words, microstamping and individual bullet registration.
Even better: the law, if passed, would outlaw current stocks of ammo. Anyone who possesses “non-coded ammunition” must dispose of it no later than January 1, 2022. Possession of such verboten gun food would then be a class A misdemeanor, good for a year in prison.

They’ve been watching too much Batman if they think they can trace a bullet after it has been fired.
Thanks to Obama, I have more ammo that I will use in two lifetimes. Thanks Barak.
And I know exactly how some patriots would get rid of their existing, outlawed ammo.
Felix Ortez: Is this azz-clown even legal citizen???
Liberal insanity absolutely knows no bounds.
What if it’s a trace round?
traceR round. DOH!
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
Or, in other words....
MOLON LABE.
I am the III%!
Certainly this will apply to law enforcement and all government agencies too.
This is an ideal situation for a leftist government employee.
It’s a triple GS upgrade immediately just to START to engrave 100 boxes of .22LR ammo.
Next? 500,000,000 boxes per year.
As usual, government employees win! Hooray!
Manufacturers will simply stop selling to NY.
Law enforcement included.
It would be microstamped brass... not the bullet. Half the population, especially politicians and MSM have zero knowledge of firearms and ammunition. They do not understand that many Americans have THOUSANDS of rounds of ammo. Pathetic, uninformed jerks.
There will be a huge black market for machines to enable counterfeiting coded ammunition. Huge market, money to be made. And mass confusion of authorities when the counterfeit bullets are found after being fired. Stupid NY.
Someone HAS to have already thought of the line from the old Western movies about “a bullet with your name on it” right? /bad pun>
Well then - we have a date set for watering the Tree of Liberty....
Liberal stupidity and ignorance.
Got a feeling the Supreme Court (if not an alert lower court first) would find such a law an impermissible burden on the free exercise of 2nd Amendment rights.
Roughly similar to some of the voting rights restrictions used to prevent blacks from voting during the segregation era. While technically possible to comply, the process was so complicated/burdensome that it effectively denied the right. That was the intent then and that is the plainly obvious intent of this legislation now.
Commies always over-estimate their own intelligence. Never fails.
