to every ammo manufacturer I could find.
Dear Sirs
As you know, California’s Lawmakers are attempting to pass some of the most draconian legislation to date. This legislation could, in part, require you to serialize the bullets, cases, and packaging of all ammunition sold in California. What will it cost you to retool your production line in order to comply with the whims of a bunch of rogue lawyers? What will it cost the consumers of California to purchase this new ammunition?
To Micro/Laser engrave every bullet and every case with a serial number will require an entirely new facility at great expense to you, the manufacturer. To sequentially number, package, and track millions of rounds of munitions, keeping records of every cartridge and which retailer/wholesaler purchased which munitions would be an expensive and daunting task.
These “costs” would not be picked up by the State of California. Instead, the consumers would be the victims of another scam by the California Legislature purported to be an anti-crime measure that would not have any negative effect on crime. The California citizens would be penalized by being charged excessive, nay punitive prices for ammunition, and suffer the indignity of being tracked by government agencies very much like a paroled criminal.
These tactics are just the latest in a long line of abusive measures aimed at ultimately disarming the public by whatever means necessary. We, in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms movement, have fought the implementation of these ineffective “Crime Control” laws but we are incrementally losing ground. There is however, a glimmer of hope in this case, but it requires the assistance of the Munitions Manufacturing community.
I would like to ask, as a gun owner and member of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms community, that you the manufacturers take a page from Barrett Firearms.
“Barrett cannot legally sell any of its products to lawbreakers. Therefore, since California’s passing of AB 50, the state is not in compliance with the US Constitution’s 2nd and 14th Amendments, and we will not sell nor service any of our products to any Government agency of the State of California.”
Let California’s Lawmakers know that, if this legislation passes, the manufacturers will boycott the State of California. No Civilian Munitions. No Police Munitions. No Munitions period will be distributed to California. I truly believe this is the wake-up call needed in Sacramento.
Help us in the RKBA movement help you. We need to work together to stop the gun grabbers. There are many ongoing discussions at RKBA meetings and at the many on line forums. I think you would be surprised at the overwhelming support this action would receive. You might want to check it out for yourself at web sites like thehighroad.org or thefiringline.com etc. I would even encourage you to have a representative register and join in the discussions with any thoughts you might have on the RKBA front.
Yours Sincerely
