Then when a potential criminal purchases a box of 9mm cartridges, the box of ammunition and the bullets’ coding numbers would be connected to the purchaser in a statewide database.
WE NEED TO STAY ALERT to prevent this crap from ever being proposed in Ohio!
It isn't just an Ohio issue, I believe our fight on gun control should be at the federal level.......
All laws should be uniform across the USA for the same reasons that all gun laws should be uniform across Ohio.........
If California enacts the law , your ammo is still illegal contraband, unless you never go there of course..
Our government will never out and out take your guns. They will allow Insurance companies, HOA, businesses, and employers do the dirty work.
Splat,
Gun control is a STATE item.
The Federal Government all ready has it's nose in many places it doesn't belong. DON'T campaign for them to invade more areas where they don't belong.
That is why state law over-rides Federal law as long as the state law is not less severe, they have no legislative preview in things that are not "interstate commerce" and gun laws in the state are NOT part of "interstate commerce".
The government CAN NOT HELP YOU, it can only HURT YOU WORSE.
Stocking components would not help if this were enacted.
A specific clause states that old unencoded ammo and reloaded ammo would become contraband instantly subject to turn in and confiscation at least in the Arizona bill.
I haven't researched all the bills but that only makes sense if you follow their purpose for this law to its logical conclusion.
Not about GUNS its about CONTROL. Control the ammo you control the guns.
Oh, and as far as MAryland getting ONE conviction from their ballistics database: I dunno if they could have convicted in other ways. I am sure that Maryland is using that one success to crow about how important and necessary their multi-million-dollar project is, since in 2005 they were seriously considering doing away with the database, then presto!, they get one good case that involved it. I am sure that people overinflated the database's importance in solving that case, to justify the existance (continued) of the database and the continued spending of millions of dollars towards what is essentially a white elephant.
I mean, who does not know that a few minutes with a file will change the ejector/extractor marks on an expended case? Or a few strokes with a round file on the muzzle will change the ballistics marked on a bullet?
These people keep thinking that more laws, more registration, and more control will get them what they want.
Look at England.
'Nuff said.

Striking down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering! Carpe Noctem- we get more done after 2 am than most people do all day.
