Where Does Barack Obama Stand on the Second Amendment Part 4 (Ammo Accountability Legislation)
I have asked the question, where does Barack Obama stand on the second amendment several times now. But now comes this story and we have to ask the question once again. Where does Barack Obama stand on the second amendment?
The latest attempt to breech the second amendment comes in the form of ammunition accountability or identification legislation. This type of legislation has come up in different states before and each time it was shot down (pardon the pun) but now with expanded Democrats majorities the issue is back on the table and who knows what may happen.
Here are some of the details of what is included in the legislation:
People would be required to forfeit all personally-owned non-encoded ammunition. After a certain date, it would be illegal to possess non-encoded ammunition. Gun owners possess hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition for target shooting, hunting and personal protection. Consider that American manufacturers produce 8 billion rounds each year.
Reloading (re-using cartridge cases multiple times) would be abolished. There would be no way to correspond serial numbers on cartridge cases, and different sets and quantities of bullets.
People would be required to separately register every box of “encoded ammunition.” This information would be supplied to the police. Most states do not even require registration of guns. Each box of ammunition would have a unique serial number, thus a separate registration.
Private citizens would have to maintain records, if they sold ammunition to anyone, including family members or friends.
The cost of ammunition would soar, for police and private citizens alike. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturing Institute estimates it would take three weeks to produce ammunition currently produced in a single day. For reason of cost, manufacturers would produce only ultra-expensive encoded ammunition, which police would have to buy, just like everyone else.
Gun owners would have to register their ammo and reloading would become illegal. This is an attack on the second amendment. It is starting at the state level but will it stop there? Does President Obama agree with this type of legislation? His track record is very anti-second amendment no matter what he tries to claim now. So again I ask President Obama, where do you stand on the second amendment?

I could kiss you Mr. Pink Eyes! I was debating this issue on My Take with Mike and I had just read this article but I couldn’t find it again. I posted it over there to let him know that the gun issue is not a dead one. Thank YOU!
You know, I was thinking today that it seems to me that Obama (and all progressives for that matter) say A but actually do B and I think the reason is A is a distraction so they can go behind our backs and do B and then when its all over and done with they can say, “I won! Sorry.” Kind of a slight of hand if you will.
BTW – what did you think of my article by Paul Craig Roberts today? Did you agree with him or not?

Without filling your blog to the gills with links this has been a somewhat low key attack on our gun rights for quite some time now. Check the GoA and NRA websites for a history about this.
Now that the gun grabber coalition is in power, it will not be such a low key attack.

I did not say I needed a nanny. This is completely over the top. What are they trying to make sure only the criminals have the unmarked ammo? Because that is where it will end up. On the black market for sale to the bad guys.

I agree Mr Pink Eyes and there is yet another issue IF you can buy ammo, that I addressed back Dec 16, 08 in my blog.
You can bet we will have to battle this sort of crap for the next four years IF they don’t ram it down our throats before then.

I’ve never given this a try, but I think it’s about time I do.
