Bean Counters? No, Bullet Counters........

"No later than January 1, 2011, all non-coded ammunition for the calibers listed in this

chapter, whether owned by private citizens or retail outlets, must be disposed."

These morons are smoking crack. They need to turn off CSI and live in the real world for a while.

Here's a few scenarios of why this won't work.

1). People will never hand over all their stockpiled ammo. So there will always be untracable ammo.

2.) Say someone switches out your ammo without you knowing it and kills somoneone with your bullet. You shot up what you thought was your ammo months ago at the range, so now you have no way of proving you didn't fire the murder bullet .

3.) Someone rides out to the local shooting range, walks back to the dirt hill , grabs a few loose bullets that are laying in the dirt bank, conviently drops one at the crime scene. The cops find the bullet with your # on it that you shot at the range, but you have no way to prove it.

4.) So now instead of criminals legally buying their ammo, they will now break into your house and steal your serial numbered ammo. You can report it stolen, but your house still got robbed just because the criminal din't want to purchase traceable ammo.

5.) Remove the bullet from the casing, grind off the #, reload. (oh, I forgot, there is a $1000 fine for removing the serial # so I guess criminals won't do this)

6.) More people are being shot with rifles and shotguns because handgun ammo is tracable.

Just one step closer to banning guns altogether. I know one thing though, I wouldn't want the job of bullet repo man.

TOYOTA FOUR WHEEL DRIVE................need I say more?

This is almost like European regulation. When I lived in Germany a guy I knew hunted deer but had to have his rifles in a locked safe that the court house had a combination too in case of inspection and every round had to be accounted for. If he went to the range he had to return all spent casings. The government had a 100% accountability of ammo. If you came up short or had more ammo than records show, you lost your guns and hunting privelages. Let's hope we won't become the "United Socialist States of America".
