Boston Looks To Ammunition Restrictions

Boston Globe

Boston is considering new "anticrime tools" that include limiting ammunition sales, recording who buys ammunition, and using a new technology that transfers a gun's serial number onto a bullet`s shell casing any time the gun is fired.

yep, more BS from the political arena. How long till they firgure this will be too expensive to pursue. So what is the law in boston? CCW permits issued?

Tech that transfers the serial # of the gun on the cartridge wow that will work not...

jarhead79 · February 13th, 2006, 09:02 PM

That sounds like some crazy stuff outta a James Bond movie. Let's see them make us bring our guns to them, so they can change our barrel???? Whatever?????

When will they ever learn that those sorts of things just never help to deter violent crime. Sad!

SOLOLUCKY · February 13th, 2006, 11:11 PM

I would assume they could inscribe the serial no. on the inside of the chamber so when the shell is fired and expanded the number is embedded, almost invisible into the case.
but so what?
so they can find out who the gun was stolen from and it was used in a crime?
i don't see any of my guns being brought in for this.
ummmm... they all got stolen last week!! sorry

I doubt anyone with any sense at all really thinks this "project" will do any real good. And the more expensive it is, the better.

Sooner or later, the proponents will say, "It won't work, it's too expensive, so the best way to solve the problem is to simply get rid of all the guns.

The obvious problem with that is they'd only disarm the law-abiding, leaving the criminal element well armed.

Idiots, well-intentioned or not, idiots just the same.

Of course if such idiocy were to make it the statute books - it would also be another (for 'them') useful deterrant to reduce even legit' gun purchases - implementation of such craziness would by default jack up gun prices!

My head aches from constant side to side shaking, as I read such things and wonder - at the cost prohibitive stupidity.
