Just recieved this months copy of the GOAL newsletter and I have a few questions about the front page article. Below is the article for those who don't recieve the newsletter.
Moved the questions up top instead of below the article.
Obviously I have quite a few problems with this proposed bill but here are my questions.
Does anyone know what firearms are headed for the "regulated" category or what criteria will put them there?
How many people think a bullet will actually retain the serial number after impact? Has there ever been any testing on this? I guess this is their way around the lack of discarded shells from a revolver.

Ammunition Registration
An Act Providing For The Coding Of Ammunition
A manufacturer shall encode ammunition provided for retail sale for regulated firearms in a manner that the secretary establishes, so that:
1) The base of the bullet and the inside of the cartridge of each round in a box of ammunition are encoded with the same serial number;
2) Each serial number is engraved in such a manner that it is highly likely to permit identification after ammunition discharge and bullet impact, and
3) The outside of each box of ammunition is labeled with the name of the manufacturer and the same serial number used on the cartridge casings and bases of bullets contained in the box.
Ammunition contained in one box may not be labeled with the same serial number as the ammunition contained in any other ammunition box from the same manufacturer.
An owner of ammunition for use in a regulated firearm that is not encoded by the manufacturer as provided above shall dispose of the ammunition.
