Arizona Ammunition Registration on the Money

http://dustinsgunblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/unbelievable-attempt-at-ammunition-ban.html

This is the best idea I have heard of in a very long time. I mean, seriously, how smart is this…

Let’s encode a registration number on a metal projectile that is traveling 1200 - 5000fps aimed, generally, so it will impact directly with a solid surface. Lets print a registration number on an item for which in many cases, the sole purpose of its design is to disintegrate into small shards on impact. Brilliant…

Not to mention, there is little concrete evidence that the registration of firearms or the licensing of owners has had any effect at all on the rate of violent homicide anywhere[1], but hey, an ammunition registry is bound to be a far more effective use of the government’s money. Canada’s registry of guns is so expensive the government want to scrap it, New Zealand refuse to implement one for that reason and Australian states struggle to keep the ones they have running efficiently. But no, no, I mean even as the registration of the estimated 270 million US firearms[2] is considered logistically impossible I’m sure the registration of an estimated 10 billion bullets[3] sold annually is far more feasible and economical.

Oh and I almost forgot, turns out the draft legislation presented is lifted directly from sample legislation presented by the inventor of the technology ammocoding.com, who stands to gain a license fee from each of those 10 billion bullets sold annually. Whoops! Looks like it’s not only the Republicans who are out to make money! Turns out ’social justice’ can be quite profitable for those implementing it…who knew? *cough*Stalin, Fidel, Mao*cough*

Good luck guys, sounds like a great plan!
