It's also getting shot down in every state, the guy pushing it is the guy who owns the company that owns that technology. NRA has been pointing out his vested interest to lawmakers with good success.

"Saving lives one bullet at a time" initiative never saw one vote in PA.  Could you imagine the nightmare? Your cost, then having to police every piece of brass to make absolutely sure it never ends up someplace you never were? Like in a reload used in a crime?

Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

True, it is getting shot down, so to speak, at every turn.  However, it is important not to let our guard down on this or any other piece of legislation that comes along.

We need to remember that it is not just the "anti's" we need to look out for.  Businesses that see profitability in catering to anti's or political correctness will be spending to further the retirement accounts as well.

The first bailout bill got shot down, and then it came roaring back , this time even worse.
The chimps in congress have a way of getting what they want, and the people be damned.

well, I guess I will end up being a criminal before I comply with these stupid laws. Time to start moving to the backwoods of the west.

This remind me of the saw stop guy... he came up with a product, no one bought it as it was too costly/ didn't work ... after the free market told him to take a hike, he went to congress to legislate his product.

EXACTLY!!!

The traditional business advice is "find a need and fill it."  However, there is a new one out there - "Develop a product and convince OSHA (or any other governmental agency) that it is needed."  Stick with tradition, and you have a 50/50 chance of survival.  Follow through on the new one and you are a guaranteed multi-millionaire!

The problem isn't so much that they propose a serialization of ammution...it's who will be affected by it. I guarrantee you that law enforcement and military will get regular production ammunition, while civilians have to buy ammo from a separate assembly line or plant, paying all of the overhead costs for the new lines.

There's no way to fight crime and terrorism with the inherent costs of serialization, both in the machinery and in the lower production rates. Even Obama knows (or will find out from an advisor) that this technology would criple our military and law enforcement production. Therefore, there will be two assembly lines for the same product.

I would honestly like nothing more than for the ammunition and firearms companies to protest this legislation and any other unconstitutional legislation in the same way Ronnie Barrett protested the CA .50 ban-- cut off the government from the product until they restore the rights of the people.

I don't really know how I feel about cutting off production for the military, since they're pretty busy fighting a war. But the police departments that are going to run out of ammo should barrow ammo from other police departments that don't need it as badly, while demanding the right of the people to own guns and ammo be restored.
