It's easier to disarm and inconvenience the law abiding than the criminal. I say it's lazy law makers, and the ignorant(one in the same), that cause the problems.There was a bill in Indiana that required that All ammo sold after June 30, 2009 would have to be serial numbered and all non serial numbered would have to be disposed of by I think July 1 2010 or 2011. Also it asked for a tax on the ammo to enforce this. Thankfully this did NOT PASS. I would assume that they will try this again. This bill was introduced in multiple states, however I don't know of any where it came close to passing. The cost alone would cause the price off ammo to sky rocket. Also the question becomes do you serialize the bullet or the case. If someone picks up their brass the number is useless. If you go to a range and pick up the brass and reload then what. But if you mark the projectile where do you mark it. If you mark the copper jacket it is going to be damaged by the bbl and maybe the impact. If you mark the base it might survive the impact but how do the police or anyone else check the serial number prior to the bullet being shot. If you mark both what happens for reloads? The law makes no sense and is a knee jerk reaction to law makers trying to track ammo used in violent crimes. Oh and did I mention that criminals very rarely buy the serial numbered item over the counter and show their ID. They will simply buy the ammo in a state that does not require the info. Or buy the ammo in Mexico or Canada. But, these are the officials we elected I don't think Jon Elrod would have supported this but we did not re-elected him did we?
