California proposes requiring bullet ID numbers

By Adam Tanner

"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California's attorney general
introduced pioneering legislation on Tuesday that would require all
bullets sold in the nation's most populous state to bear tiny
identification numbers.

The bill, aimed at helping investigators solve crime,
would require ammunition vendors to submit sales records to a state
registry starting in 2007. Anyone bringing bullets into the state not
bearing the tiny serial number etched by laser could be punished for up
to a year in prison.

"We are losing too many of our young people to seemingly
random shootings and anonymous killers," California Attorney General
Bill Lockyer said in a statement. The bill "will strip criminals of
their anonymity and give law enforcement evidence it can use to quickly
and effectively solve more gun crimes."

The legislation -- which could become the first of its
kind nationwide -- calls for California to assess fees not to exceed
one-half of one cent per bullet to fund the program....."

Does this mean that those of you roll their own will have to serial
number
them, too? :-)

The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work
and then they get elected and prove it.

So all the thugs will make sure to follow that law and make sure they buy serialized bullets? California needs to crack off and sink into the ocean now.
