bigredbirdfan Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 http://ammunitionaccountability.org/default.asp Be sure you click on Legislation so you can see Missouri is one of the states. If this is allowed to pass you will just have to find a drug dealer that will also sell your your ammunition. What a joke.
soggyfeet Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I dont think I see a problem with it. If you dont use your bullets for crimes you shouldnt have anything to worry about. Brian
duckydoty Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 You dont think this would have any extra cost factor in purchasing this newly etched ammunition? A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Terry Beeson Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 It certainly would be an excuse for a price hike, but the technology to do that would not be that expensive per shell. I'm not totally against this idea, but I'm just not sure it will help solve that many crimes.

bigredbirdfan Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 This is the email I was sent regarding this legislation 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 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!!

jdmidwest Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Hold on while I go destroy all of my ammo and prepare.............................................................. This was really going to affect handloaders, but I think it died in MO legislature a horrible death. Not that it will not come up again.

jjtroutbum Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Rep. Joan Bray: D-St. Louis County (84) Mo's favorite gun grabber. Tried to introduce this crap tastic bill in Missouri last year it never made it out of committee. Would predict it to be reintroduced but as of yet it hasn't. This is a crock. As is any gun control law. Criminals don't follow the law. Make new laws for whom to follow? O ya only the law abiding. Makes about as much sense to me as blaming spoons for obesity.

taxidermist Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Send me your guns and your ammo, I will store it for you. Do you have any idea how much ammo can be smuggled into the country? Hell they can't catch the drug smugglers how and the hell are they going to catch ammo smugglers. Noway in Hell would I destory any uncoded ammo, I dont drive 55mph either.
soggyfeet Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'll agree that it will not stop any crime. But it COULD help in solveing crimes or even make a person think before they shoot which they should anyway. I didnt see anywhere in there that it said you could ony have a certian amount of ammo so I dont see where it would deprive anyone. Yes the reloaders would have a problem I guess but maybe there could be a permit for those few people. Since we are on the subject of ammo why is it that a person cann't buy beanbag loads for a shotgun or any other "nonleatheal" ammo. Brian

Lock up criminals for the laws already on the books. This law will not work. (.) Keep the feel good, pushed by some guy who wants to make a buck from his ammo stamp idea, backed by those who woulds rather there be no guns but that darn constitution keep getting in there way so they will take the long way around and overprice the ammo legislation and get creative on where to file it next because it wont fly in Missouri.
