Are you feeling safe?

This is the kind of subterfuge that the anti gun lobbyists are now using to gain gun control. Typical of the tactics used by special interests in this country to achieve their minority held beliefs. Be aware folks, be very aware of what is happening to your freedoms, losing them one little bit at a time.

If you haven't been in contact with your state representatives, now is the time. I only regret that since most folks don't even know their federal congressmen, they are highly unlikely to have the foggiest idea of who their state congressmen are.

Ammunition Accountability Act:

The 2009 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.

Do you recall, Obama said that he would not take our guns? Well, it seems as though he is upholding his word by simply pushing for legislation to heavily regulate ammunition. The bill that is being presented in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture, and a data base kept of all ammunition sales. With the coding and database in place the government will know just how much ammo you do buy and what calibers. Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand-loaded ammo.) The government will also add a .05 cent tax (for now) on every round, increasing the the average price by $2.50. I believe we can all deduce, if passed, this bill is simply the launching pad that will ultimately rid us of our guns.

Negatives:

1. Criminals will never use stamped bullets. There are hundreds of billions of unmarked cartridges floating around that are easily obtainable. Instead, a law like this will only spawn an “unstamped bullet” black market. What a joke --- on us!

2. Laser-etching each bullet is expensive, adding about a half-cent to each round manufactured, i.e. $2.50 addtional for each box of already-expensive .22 rimfire or pistol ammunition. If buying bullets becomes too high for the average person to purchase, then gun control advocates have their population-disarming agenda within reach.

3. No one will be able to purchase unmarked ammo after June 30, assuming the new ammo will be available on July 1.

4. Government will know the exact amount and caliber one purchases after that date, a total invasion of privacy.

5. All privately owned and uncoded ammo will have to be destroyed by July 1, 2011. Who do they think they are kidding - folks are going to destroy their stash of ammo? What a joke. Once again, this is an attempt at gun control; no bullets, no guns. See how easy it is?

6. The system will not prove who pulled the trigger, but will quite possibly target the innocent.

7. The proposed law targets handloaders, too.
