Thank you, TexasR'man.
Good grief...why are so many people so addicted to finding something or another to scare the beejeezus outta them so that they can live in a perpetual state of paranoia?
And...how, exactly, will 99 percent of "law abiding gunowners" be negatively affected by coded ammo?
And as far as all handloaders automatically becoming outlaws, that's classic slippery-slope baloney as it stands right now
"Eeeeekkkk! Run for the hills and git in yer bunkers! Theeeeyrrrr tekkin' errrr boollitts! Theeeeeeeyre tekkin' errrr guns!"
Think about it...in the terrifically unlikely event that this "goes down" in the manner described by the OP, the bullet gets serialized before it gets factory loaded, so it seems like a no brainer that they'll just serialize the ones that you and I buy before we handload 'em, too. likely only would need that factory made bullets be serialized, too--what's the diff between serializing them before the factory loads the rounds before you or I handload the rounds?
And, I daresay, most if not all of the folks who would form secret societies and meet in caves under the midnight moon to cast their own bullets
"just on principle" over this in the terrifically unlikely event that such legislation actually passed in the form described by the OP are actually already lawbreakers right here right now today in some way or another--poachers, tax evaders, illegal modifiers of arms, etc. Notice I didn't say everyone against this--though, again, as usual, the OP slams ALL Democrats and ALL liberals--is nuts, just the ones who are so doggone worried about having their boolits kept secret and untraceable (um, why?) that they decide to take action...
...and by the way, if a lot of folks afraid of this kind of thing really wanted to do something meaningful to protect their gun rights, they'd spend time in soup kitchens (and I don't need to hear from the 1 in 20 gun owners who already does this) and with Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs helping get at the socio-economic roots of the crime that fuels the fear that ultimately is the engine that drives misguided anti-gun folks to begin with. They ain't after my gun or yours, they're after inner city gangs, etc...so...diminish the social causes of gang proliferation, crime, etc, and you diminish gun violence, thereby doing more to meaningfully protect your gun rights and those of your progeny more than anything else...
This kind of hysterical paranoia and fearmongering hurts EVERYONE, get it? From upward driven prices, downward driven supplies, and on to fanatics who start acting up giving everyone a bad name....
Gee whiz, Wally....
