What’s missing in U.S. gun control scramble? Bullets
How stupid.
How would anyone be able to tell if someone made a “straw purchase” of ammo for a criminal? Without case micro-stamping, they couldn’t. And micro stamping will never happen for several reasons, including technical impossibility, cost prohibitiveness, and unconstitutionality.
Unconstitutionality? Tell me again about your wonderful gun laws in NY.
Exactly. The bastards in Albany think that by requiring a background check for ammo purchases, prohibited persons can’t get ammo. Wrong. Example:
There’s a shooting. The police catch the BG. The BG rats out his buddy that has a clean record who bought the ammo for him. The police visit the BGs buddy.“We found Wolf 9mm at the crime scene. Our records show that you bought 9mm ammo 3days ago. And now your friend is telling us you gave him the ammo”
“No I bought that ammo for my own recreational use at the range. It’s all gone.”
There’s no way to prove his statement false. It’s unenforceable
Unless those bastards require range staff to keep records, with ID…
RAND corporation wants to put serial numbers in cartridges.
:rolleyes:
Yeah. Because that can totally be traced.
Technically impossible. Americans consume billions of rounds every year. A few years down the road and the unique number would be so long that it wouldn’t fit on the casing.
Not only that, but what would stop someone from scooping up someone else’s spent brass, dropping them at a crime scene, and trying to frame him for a crime?
What about land owners that shoot on their own land? Or friends/family that shoots there?
Both excellent points… It would be a mess… as far the serial number thing goes, they would probably just use some kind of RFID chip. That way all they have to do is drive by your house and point a receiver at you to see how much ammo you’ve got stockpiled…
Illegalized. Felony.
I wish somebody influential had the balls to tell them all to fuck off.
You just did!
Based on gun control articles and comments I have been expecting something to be pushed on ammo control.
Either something stupid like this or a ban on civilian sale of 5.56/.223 ammo. Because it is “so dangerous”.
Maybe a Latin American style “military caliber” ban.
They are still just throwing crap on the wall hoping something will stick.
I will be surprised if we can continue to purchased XM855 or XM193 through the mail or online if at all.
So if you put a serial number on the case, tracking is going to become hell for those that reload…
Terrible ideas.
Anyone with a 6th grade education could get around those silly proposals.
Problem is most Democrats have a 4th grade education and never learned to think for themsleves. The ones that do think are the ones who are doing the thinking for all the other ones who want someone else to do everything for them.
Let them tryto ban military calibers. All those .308 bolt action hunters wuld then join our cause.
They’d sell us out, and detachable magazines would be made illegal.
Well…its not as if you can FIND any 308 ammo anywhere right now. LOL
…or 223 or 9mm

I had been seeing plenty of 308 in my area and a decent amount of 9mm. 223/5.56 not so much unless you want to pay $25 for a box of 20 American Eagle tracer rounds.
The thing is, I was seeing most of this at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, the rumors appear to be true. Neither of the Wal-Mart’s in my area have received an ammo shipment in 2+ weeks when they usually would have 2+ per week.
They’re back dooring us through retailer intimidation and state laws but yet nobody sees it. This is far from over.
