America Disarmed - Ammo Confiscation 
Reply With Quote
The bill was actually shot down here in PRHI. Only person who submitted testimony in favor of the bill was the company that would be supplying the encoding machines. Even the local police chiefs were against the bill.I actually met with one of the legislators that supported the bill and showed him a small zip top bag of #7.5 bird shot. I asked him if the machine would be able to encode every piece of birdshot that goes into a .410 shot shell. He insisted that the bill was intended only for handgun ammo. I was hoping he would say that, at which point I produced a photo of the "Taurus Judge", along with the specs of the handgun. Needless to say, he was a little annoyed, but my visit along with several other "pro 2A" types helped put the issue to bed.

How will they check to see that the base of the "projectile" is properly "serialized". Sure they could pull a few heads from your box of ammo, but this would mess up the ammo, and who's to say that there wasn't some SNAFU at the manufacturing plant and some "Military & LE" ammo got mixed in with the civilian stuff. There are too many variables for this law to be practical.
