Ammunition Accountability Legislation
« Thread Started on Mar 29, 2009, 4:08pm »

There is state legistation that could affect all of us at SASS and it is 'flying under the radar', quitely being written and considered in 18 states. The news media is not reporting on this.

Ammunition sales after June 30, 2009 would be restricted in many states. This legislation is not targeting gun ownership, instead working against ammunition. The bills that are being pushed in 18 states requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture and a database of all ammunition sales maintained 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. A $0.05 tax per round is to be assessed so every box of ammo 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.
