We can't take your guns? We'll take your bullets! That'll Show Ya!
(not a true quote) *So, the Land of Fruits and Nuts (but not so many Gun Nuts) has trotted out a scheme that they have trotted out a few times before:
*(Bear with me here, I'm digging down into the files:
The following is a representative sample of the various articles I've written about California's attempts to make it difficult (often impossible) for honest citizens to purchase ammunition in their home state. Note that this list is NOT All-Inclusive. Apologies for the violation of publication style books ... there have been so many articles that consistancy of style has been a secondary priority; reporting the variety of ex post facto laws proposed across the nation to regulate ammunation sales (as a modified form of gun control) has always been my first priority.
I've been reporting on this issue for over ten years now. The thing is .. we have to win EVERY TIME; they only have to win once.

You've probably heard by now that California is preparing to implement a scheme which requires bullet manufacturers to stamp a serial number on EACH INDIVIDUAL BULLET.

Kalifornia Bullet-Coding Scheme IV: Citizens Revolt!
SB357 would require that every bullet sold in the state of California, whether sold as an individual reloading component as part of a complete pistol ammunition cartridge, would be engraved with a serial number which is consistent within every other bullet or cartridge within the 50-round package in which the component is purchased.

Arnie Signs AB 962
( AB 962 means that every time you buy ammunition you have to present ID, fill out a form, and leave your thumbprint on the form)

Criminalizes transfer & delivery of ammunition by means other than face-to-face transactions.Seems to imply that truckers cannot complete interstate delivery across state lines.

I found so many articles which embedded that line, I decided NOT to include the article which sparked my search. You might want to copy the line and google it too; I'm sure you'll find a lot of other people who can speak more eloquently than I have on the subject. jB)
Jeffrey Zalles, president of the Brady Campaign’s chapter in Marin County, California, touched off a debate over the movement’s direction with an Oct. 6 op-ed in The Washington Post calling for “a focus on ammunition” instead of guns.
He called for requiring buyers to obtain licenses that show photo identification and stamping shell casings with serial numbers, which would make it more difficult for unlicensed buyers to obtain bullets.
“A focus on ammunition wouldn’t infringe on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Instead, it would guarantee the protection of those rights — while saving many lives,” Mr. Zalles said.

California's lawmakers have to do something. It is estimated the violent gun crime as escalated 20% or more in the last two years. Gun control and ammunition control seem to be the only answers for them.
