Many shooting enthusiast cast their own bullets and reload fired cases. Visit any shooting range and you'll often see people picking up empty cases to reload. The idea that you can track who purchased some specific ammo by some ID inscribed on the bullet and on the inside of the case fails unless there's also a ban on reloading. Once again, only the law abiding will shoot traceable ammo while criminals will reload their own, buy ammo on the black market, or steel it. The ideas from liberals get progressively further and further from reality.

Yeah, but as they'll proudly tell you, they're 'reality-based'.

And I suppose they are, it's just not a terribly functional reality that's in any way congruent to our own...

Can't get the judges to outlaw guns? Make it impossible to buy ammo, that'll fix those damn rethuglicans.

You're not thinking evil enough. The really nasty crook won't load his own. He'll shoot somebody, pick up his cartridge cases and scatter somebody else's cases he picked up on the firing range.

The really crafty bad guy will get a revolver that shoots a cartridge normally fired from an automatic*. That way he doesn't have to track down his brass and just dumps the scavenged brass out of his pocket.

*there are revolvers that take .45 acp.

"Private citizens and retail outlets would be required to dispose of all non-coded ammunition no later than Jan. 1, 2011."

I want to see them try and enforce that one...

Talk about unintended consequences.

Or the crooks will pick up someone else's spent cases, that has someone else's registered code on it, reload them and use them in whatever illegal activity they are undertaking. I can't see this passing the reasonable doubt stanadard in court. To many opportunities for cases to end up in someone besides the original owners hands.

I was under the impression that MOST, not all bullets... You know... Deform when they impact something like a bone or a wall or something else hard. So now we need a perfect bullet that wont deform at all so we can read the number... Even if Im mistaken, dumbest idea ever

The law would require the disposal of pre-existing ammo, would it?

Typical leftist garbage. They ignore the parts of the Constitution that inhibits their "brilliant" ideas, like the Ex Post Facto clause. Morons.
