Ammunition Accountability Act

I got the fallowing e-mail yesterday from an old friend of the family who is a retired Police Chief:


Ammunition Accountability Act

Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his minions and allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!

The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including TN, 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!

Please give this the widest distribution possible and contact your Reps!

It's the ammo, not the guns....

I've said for a long time that they wouldn't go for your guns, they'd go for your ammo... guns have a Constitutional protection. Ammo does not. A list of states where this legislation is pending is in the final paragraph. Not in CO yet, they'll go where the pansies are first.

Heads up to all of you who swore to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic. Let your state Legislatures know that we do not want this bill passed, and petition them to vote no on this bill. We should keep after them until the bill is closed by bombarding them with e-mails, phone calls, and letters.

Get to all your politicians to get to work and NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!

The 2008 Legislative session has begun, and the Ammunition Accountability Act is being introduced across the country. Below is a list of states where legislation has already been introduced:
Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York,Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.


Then the e-mail gives the web address of several groups supporting the AAA I’m not going to do so because I don’t feel like supporting them by funneling web traffic to their web pages (as if anyone visits my blog any way). Don’t bother going to Snopes they don’t have any data so I’m going to give you the skinny on this one.

I had heard of this before I received the e-mail and it is real it’s just a little old and of the 18 states listed only one, California (go figure) passed anything similar and as I remember their bill requires an identifying mark to be left by the firing pin. In all the other states it did not even make it out of their respective comities and would now have to be totally reintroduced in order to be readdressed. That is not to say this sort of thing is not a threat because it is true guns are protected by the constitution and ammo is not.

Although the AAA never really got any steam behind it we need to stay alert to this kind of garbage we'll see more of it in the next four years and when we do we need to be loud and clear and make sure our elected officials hear our disapproval.
