Saving lives 1 bullet at a time -- NOT!

[ericire12]

Know your enemy:

An organization known as Ammunition Accountability is the major driving force to make coding technology mandatory across the nation. Its website claims it is a group of "gun crime victims, industry representatives, law enforcement, public officials, public policy experts, and more" who are "saving lives one bullet at a time". They are really a bunch of anti-gun lobbyists trying to legislate our 2nd amendment rights away from us through bullet control.

About Us

Ammunition Accountability is a newly forming group of ammunition coding technology supporters.  Our group includes gun crime victims, industry representatives, law enforcement, public officials, public policy experts, and more. We are working together to pass legislation to make ammunition coding technology a reality.

Ammunition coding technology works by laser etching the back of each bullet with an alpha-numeric serial number.  Then when a potential criminal purchases a box of 9mm cartridges, the box of ammunition and the bullets’ coding numbers would be connected to the purchaser in a statewide database.  When a bullet is found at a crime scene, the code on the bullet can be read with a simple magnifying glass and then be run through a statewide database to determine who purchased the ammunition and where, providing a valuable investigative lead.

The bill for this was shot down in TN. Too much expense will keep this from being put into law.  I hope !!

Never underestimate the ability of a bureaucracy to spend far more money, for far less result than any other entity in existence. Except for possibly my wife.

A standard maxim for starting a new business is "Find a need and fill it."  However, when dealing with Government I learned that you develope a product and convince an agency it is a neccessity.

Not only do you need to deal with stupid legislators, but you also need to slam the brakes on a greedy business that is ready to profit big time over this technology they have and have patented.

If ever an idiotic idea needed to be shot down.

Supposing this tech works perfectly as advertised. Are we going to have to pay transfer fees when buying ammo online? And what is the plan for the hundreds of thousands of rounds in existance without this tech. We know this will kill the firearms industry, but I'm willing to bet that military and law enforcement will get normal ammo with no hassles, just like they get machine guns and SBRs. I also wonder just how many criminal lives will be spared so that the innocent may be martyred.

This is being put forward in all these states on behalf of ONE person, Tom Gresham was talking about it a couple weeks ago, this one person owns the company that owns this technology. So far as soon as state legislators have been made aware of this they have rejected it.
