Let me have a go:
1. Criminal buys gun illegally on black market.
2. Criminal buys a piece of lead and makes a non-serial # bullet. ( Note to self: could make some money if I buy a truckload of bullets now and re-sell them later. )
3. Criminal commits crime, firing ammo, etc.
4. No trace on ammo, etc. by cops. What else is new?
Sounds to me like no more than a half-assed way to sneak in a new tax. A half-cent a bullet to support record-keeping, is it? Not if they find something else to spend it on, and you can bet that they already have something in mind....
Reloads, gentlemen and ladies, RELOADS!
April 27th, 2011:
Dateline Sacramento, California.
California Highway Patrol agents discovered the seventh clandesting ammunition factory this month, operated by a right-wing group loyal to the late president Ronald Reagan.
In related news, the state celebrated the 100 millionth abortion since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States. All state government offices were closed in honor of the holiday. On hand at the state government-sponsored gala was President Chelsea Clinton and Vice President Brad Pitt.
only you can prevent this nightmare scenario.
The left will NEVER stop until they have removed guns from the hands of citizens.
The rate of gun crimes in England has shyrocketed in the last 5 years. And the cops there don’t stand a chance ... for the most part ... they are unarmed.
Cat,
The British cops do carry weapons now. I don’t know which happened first: Their decision to allow policemen to carry or their first terrorist attack.
Another stupid law and a tax on people that deserve neither. This from the party that says they care about your rights as a citizen as long as it doesn’t involve guns or anything else they hate.
“We’ll solve a lot of crimes if this becomes law,” said Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
Yeh, right. This from the same bunch that couldn’t find an illegal alien in an outhouse. Just when you think you have heard just about every stupid fucking idea, this bunch of asshats opens up a brand new area!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
So, will the perps be required to empty the brass from revolvers before leaving the scene? Are they gonna make picking up brass illegal too?
“We’ll solve a lot of crimes if this becomes law,” said Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
I was gonna suggest that someone have a serious chat with Bill and explain some basic facts of life, but I’m afraid it won’t do much good. He’s educated. Wanna guess where? Yep, Bill’s a Berkeley grad. There’s a big D behind his name too. There’s gonna be no reasoning with him.
