I thought this was a send-up when I first started to read it.
Unfortunately, they're deadly serious.

We propose the following regulation on the possession of bullets by individuals:
1. All bullets would be marked by their manufacturer with a serial number for each bullet that can be traced to a specific purchaser of the bullets. The serial number must be able to withstand the firing of the round. The box containing bullets must have the range of serial numbers of the bullets shown on the outside of the box.
2. Bullets will be available for sale only from licensed bullet dealers.
3. Licensed bullets dealers will only be located in place where firing weapons is permitted, i.e., target ranges and hunting facilities.
4. Individuals will only be allowed the personal possession of 6 bullets in their home or place of business at any one time. This does not allow for 6 bullets per gun owned, but rather a total of 6 bullets for all guns owned by an individual.
5. All gun owners wishing to purchase bullets must obtain a BID (Bullet Identification) card, and register all guns for which they intend to use the bullets they purchase. BID cards can be obtained from any licensed bullet dealer. BID cards must be renewed every 3 years, and can be revoked if the individual commits a felony or other crime involving violence.
6. In order to be eligible for a BID card, an individual must be over the age of 21 with no criminal record. Background checks of 72 hours will be required before a BID card can be obtained.
7. With respect to the 6 personal bullets, the individual must display to and register the gun for which the bullets are intended with the licensed bullet dealer at the time of purchase of the bullets. The registration will show the gun serial number and the bullet identification serial numbers.
8. If the six personal bullets are used for any reason, in order to obtain replacement bullets, the individual must go the licensed bullet dealer, file a report on the use of the bullets, bring in the empty shell casings and the gun used to fire the bullets, and a record of the use or firing of the bullets will be sent to local law enforcement officials.
9. Upon arriving at a hunting location or target range, an individual must show his BID card and leave it with the owner of the facility until the individual completes his shooting for the day. An individual with a BID card may purchase as many bullets as he/she wishes for the purposes of hunting or target practice, but may only purchase these bullets at a license dealer at the hunting area or target range. A parent may purchase bullets for a child to be used at a firing range or hunting facility. All unused bullets must be turned in, and all bullets fired must be accounted for by turning in all shell casings of fired rounds, at which time the individual's BID card will be returned. Instead of turning in the bullets, the owner can keep the bullets but only in a locked container maintained at the hunting area or target range.
10. Specialized bullets, i.e., cop killers and hollow head shells, which have no hunting or sport purposes, will not be available for sale to individuals.
11. The loss or theft of a personal weapon or the 6 allotted bullets must be reported within 24 hours of learning of the theft or loss. Failure to report the theft or loss may result in the owner of the gun or bullets being charged with the negligent commission of any crime in which the gun or bullets was used. For example, if a lost bullet is not reported and the bullet is used in a homicide, the owner of the bullet may be charged with negligent homicide, a crime that has a 5-year sentence.[/quote]
