Let’s be real here – all of this bullet serialization crapola is nothing but a backdoor attempt by the lefties to disarm the entire American legal gun-owning public. This will be achieved by driving some ammunition manufacturers out of the marketplace, along with making it difficult and exorbitant for law-abiding Americans to obtain ammunition from the ones who can afford to stay in business.

This would destroy all small-run ammo manufacturing. I’ve heard how some elephant-gun ammunition is hand-assembled; they’re never going to be able to afford this.

It’s odd: they’ve already faced criticism from the firearms community, but they haven’t changed their tune one bit.

Hey our elected officials don’t obey the laws so why should anyone else?

So, what about black powder sabots and lead bullets? What about shotgun shell pellets? How would they be able serialize all of these different types of projectiles?

I’m willing to go on the new watch list the day this bill passes i propose we have a new “boston tea party” we march on the capital and all federal buildings and dispose of all our “illegal ammunition”. I know all of you thought it but there it is wide open and published in cyberspace. if i had a press i’d print it and hand it out every where just like Franklin.

THE LINE IS HERE LET GOVERENMET OFFICALS CROSS AT THEIR OWN PERIL

Hopefully history will judge my blood as a patirot and not a tyrant

“As far as “non-encoded ammo.” Just remember, you lost it in a fire / boating accident / burglary etc.”

Screw that. I didn’t lose it, and I’m not turning it in. If they want to feed and clothe me for the rest of my life, that’s fine, but they can’t have my ammo unless they arrest me first.

Since when have the gun-grabbers ever given a hairy rat’s patoot over the Constitutionality of a gun-ban scheme?

Re: ex post facto. It'll get a pass the same way the Lautenberg amendment does: You are not being penalized for your current possession, you will only be penalized if you possess it in the future.

Mike, that might work until they pass the “Stolen or Lost Ammo Accountability Act”

Matt. I doubt many politicians have even read the Constitution, and many clearly have no respect for it. They’d already be violating the 2nd Amendment so violating other silly, antiquated language like, “No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed,” won’t phase them one bit.

They’ve passed such ex-post facto laws in CA even though it’s illegal. If they can get away with it they will.

As far as “non-encoded ammo.” Just remember, you lost it in a fire / boating accident / burglary etc.
