Yeap........
To me its like, if they track how much you buy, they can limit how much you buy... Even though people don't think this way anymore.... The constitution was written so that the people could use force to take over the government if nessisary. Take away ammo which makes guns useless and it becomes very difficult...
The government should fear the people, people shouldn't fear the government..
Your argument would be stronger if you could spell necessary, IMO.
What really gets me is that all the guys who don't seem to care about wire-tapping and other civil liberties such get all up in arms (ha, ha, pun) when their guns get threatened. Not saying either of you fall into this category, just an observation.

Come on.. Do you guys seriously run a spell check or something? Its a typo. I saw that it was spelled wrong when it was underlined in red but I left it thinking ahh who's gonna nit pick... Oh he will....
I think this is just more of the same crap that's been happening for years. And people keep letting it happen. So, I wonder how this coding system will work.
I totally thought I would have been shot down with anti gun replies by now... Especially after the remark of people controlling the government thing.. People usually think your crazy
after something like that...
And I was too young to care but what has caused the prices of bullets to sky rocket? My dad always bought in bulk but can no longer afford to..
Yes, this has it's pros and cons, pros that it will be more difficult for criminals to stockpile weapons and ammunition, and the con is that it will be more difficult for law abiding citizens to stock up on ammunition.
But I've always wondered how effective gun control is, being that there is no way to destroy existing current stockpiles (even though I wonder what the penalty is), but in my opinion and from what I've seen, it doesn't have much effect on the criminals, only the law abiding citizens whom we shouldn't be worrying about anyway.
There will always be a black market for this kind of stuff, since it's not an international standard, there will always be a way to get more ammo, legal or not.

If you and me average americans understand this, why don't they? Maybe its not the criminals there afraid of.
So.....I have to destroy all my "uncoded ammo"?
Sure thing....................When I need to shoot something.

Because the Navy was still using 1939 ammuntion for the 16" guns on the USS Wisconsin during the Gulf War...

Guys, this is 2009 guys, that was all from 2008. All of these were defeated in every legislature around the country last year. None of them made it out of subcommittee in their respective states. Check with the NRA, JPFO, GOA, and your local groups to confirm.
