Unbelievable!
I cannot believe with the amount of hunters and shooting enthusiasts in PA that the legislature can pass such a thing but if they do just remember some of you wanted change and now you got it. enjoy.........
Its already started...Ammunition Accountability Legislation
Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that Pelosi and her gang of allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!
The bill that is being pushed in 18 states requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture, providing a data base of all Ammunition sales.
So they will know how much you buy and what calibers. Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unl ess the ammunition is coded.
Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011.
(Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your guns!
This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama , Arizona , California , Connecticut , Hawaii , Illinois , Indiana , Kentucky , Maryland , Mississippi , Missouri, New Jersey, New York , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , South Carolina, Tennessee , and Washington .
Send to your friends in these states AND fight to dissolve this BILL!!

"Encoded Ammunition"/Bullet Serialization
"Encoded Ammunition" (Bullet and Cartridge Case Serialization) Means:
* Forfeiture of Currently-Owned Ammunition
* A Separate Registration for Every Box of New Ammunition
* Outrageously Expensive Ammunition Costs for Police & Private Citizens Alike
*A Waste of Taxpayer Money, Better Spent on Traditional Police Programs
In 2007, the sponsor of "encoded ammunition" legislation in Maryland urged lawmakers across the country to introduce the same kind of legislation in their states. The bill would require ammunition manufacturers to engrave a serial number on "the base of the bullet and the inside of the cartridge casing of each round" of ammunition for popular sporting caliber center-fire rifles, all center-fire pistols, all .22 rimfire rifles and pistols, and all 12 gauge shotguns.
Reasons to Strenuously Oppose This Legislation
People would be required to forfeit all personally-owned non-encoded ammunition. After a certain date, it would be illegal to possess non-encoded ammunition. Gun owners possess hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition for target shooting, hunting and personal protection. Consider that American manufacturers produce 8 billion rounds each year.
Reloading (re-using cartridge cases multiple times) would be abolished. There would be no way to correspond serial numbers on cartridge cases, and different sets and quantities of bullets.
People would be required to separately register every box of "encoded ammunition." This information would be supplied to the police. Most states do not even require registration of guns. Each box of ammunition would have a unique serial number, thus a separate registration.
Private citizens would have to maintain records, if they sold ammunition to anyone, including family members or friends.
The cost of ammunition would soar, for police and private citizens alike. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturing Institute estimates it would take three weeks to produce ammunition currently produced in a single day. For reason of cost, manufacturers would produce only ultra-expensive encoded ammunition, which police would have to buy, just like everyone else.
A tax of five cents a round would be imposed on private citizens, not only upon initial sale, but every time the ammunition changes hands thereafter.
Shotgun ammunition cannot be engraved. Shotgun pellets are too small to be individually engraved. Shotgun cartridge cases are made of plastic, which would be difficult to engrave.
Criminals could beat the system. A large percentage of criminals' ammunition (and guns) is stolen. Criminals could also collect ammunition cases from shooting ranges, and reload them with molten lead bullets made without serial numbers.
Congress eliminated a similar requirement in the 1980s, because there was no law enforcement benefit. Federal law had required purchasers of handgun ammunition to sign a ledger, but Congress repealed that requirement in 1983 (.22 rimfire) and 1986 (center-fire handguns), because it burdened purchasers, vendors and police, with no law enforcement benefit.

How about they look at the people not the business owners. If these bills pass it will not effect the ammunition and gun dealers. They will still make their profit. It will make it harder for the legal citizen to purchase. If the government and the courts, started putting the criminals that use the guns and cause all of the problems in jail for longer and stiffer sentences then we would not have half of the problems that we have. Why you say they will not do this. Becuase it is easy for the government to push the citizens not the big corporations with lobbist. Also, law enforcement, judges, and jails are a part of State and Federal Government that employees millions of citizens so they are also apart of the economy.

Just another example of how Obama pulled the wool over the eyes of Americans.
My God! I thought at least 100
comments would be on here by now.
The answer is "yes, I will fight it". Wake up people , before you lose everything. A revolution is upon us!
Wake me up when its time to start shooting, words are starting to bore me.
Sorry I haven't commented on this yet.
I've been busy buying ammo.
How about we just keep killing people randomly...
Don't the police have better things to do than to actually try to solve these cases???
Buying ammo today will simply make you a felon when this bill passes. Their intent is to disarm any patriot willing to defend this country and our constitution.....in the very near future.
This is the 3rd time they have tried to pass this bill.
This bill is a crock of crap, way things have been going in Salisbury lately, i might as well start carrying something. Kill for my protection. America going down the crap hole.
