Was reading a post about the ammunition encoding bit and read one poster's bit about calling people out so I went ahead and followed a senate bill deal someone put and went ahead and found the sponsor's information and sent a nice e-mail asking a series of questions about the intelligence and practicality of the matter. So here' s the site:

It's a Democrat lady from Missouri. Joan Bray. Here's her contact info:

E-Mail: [email protected]
Copy of the proposed bill:
http://www.senate.mo.gov/08info/BTS_Web/Bill.aspx?SessionType=R&BillID=148094
SB 1200 - This act requires the department of public safety to develop and maintain an ammunition coding system database containing certain information provided by manufacturers and vendors of firearm ammunition. The information shall only be made available to law enforcement agencies to be used in criminal investigations. The database shall be developed and operational by January 1, 2009. Manufacturers and vendors that do not provide the required information shall be subject to civil fines.
The cost of maintaining the database shall be paid from the newly created "Ammunition Coding System Database Fund". Vendors of firearm ammunition shall charge an additional one-half cent per bullet or round of ammunition and the money shall be forwarded to the state treasurer to be deposited into the fund.
Under this act, a person commits the crime of unlawful sale of uncoded ammunition if he or she sells any ammunition that has not been coded after March 1, 2009. Unlawful sale of uncoded ammunition is a Class A misdemeanor. A person commits the crime of unlawful possession of uncoded ammunition if he or she possesses ammunition that has not been coded or where the code has been rendered unreadable after January 1, 2011. Unlawful possession of uncoded ammunition is Class A misdemeanor. The term "coded ammunition" shall mean a bullet carrying a unique identifier that has been applied by etching onto the base of the bullet projectile.

It said the Bill was effective August 28, 2008, don't know if that means it expired(died on the vine) or what but
----------------------------------
So that was the first one, hopefully this can be the beginning of a sticky thread where anytime an anti does something, also for when there are polls on websites.
