Ammunition Accountability Act

I just received this e-mail that is posted below.

You might want to send this to all your hunting buddies family & friends.​

Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009​

It has already started....​

Ammunition Accountability Legislation​

Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!​

The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture with a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you buy and what calibers.​

Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded.​

Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) ​

They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!​

If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!​

This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama , Arizona , California , Connecticut , Hawaii , Illinois , Indiana , Kentucky , Maryland , Mississippi , Missouri , New Jersey , New York , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , South Carolina , Tennessee , and Washington .​

Send to your friends in these states AND fight to dissolve this BILL!!​

After I read this I went to Snopes. The result that they had was "Undetermined"

snopes.com: Ammunition Accountability Act

Does anyone know if legislation of this nature is currently being considered by Indiana? Where would I check?

How could ammunition companies gear up for something so fast? And what about surplus ammo for things like mosins. Some of that stuff has been sitting around forever.

The link to the accoutability webiste states that it is Indiana bill 1260 and was authored by Representative Crawford in Jan of 08. Who is this guy?

It was in Indiana and many other states in 2008. It failed miserably everywhere. nobody has brought it up for '09. search for it here or on other forums. it has been brought up ad nauseum.

We do need to stay vigilant on this, but this particular bill is dead. Do a search for the term "1260" and you'll get a dozen threads on it in this forum.
