ok, I get that it, they are ALL steps in their hopeful course to outlawing all weapons and ammo.
What I was looking for is, what kind of situation could such a registry help police in solving a real crime, such a robbery, assault, or murder??
what use might it have as evidence?? If they say "the records show the defendant bought ammo on the 15th, at XYZ Sports, the week before the murder", what can that actually get them??
Doesn't that open up them to being required to prove that the ammo used was what was purchased? And not just the same caliber & bullet weight, but the actual ammo bought on that day, from XYZ?
Can't be done that I know of. Absent the desired microstamping/serial #ing of the ammo itself, each round, I don't see how it can be established BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. (and no doubt serial # on each case and bullet is another law on their agenda...)
Ok, it might be possible where there is no other ammo at all in the defendant's possession, a good liar can convince a jury of almost anything...but if there's any other ammo, partial box, even an empty box to show that there was other ammo potentially available, that says reasonable doubt for taking their claim at face value. Other, additional evidence would be needed to convince me.
Perhaps it is part of the grand master plan, to make prosecutors jobs more difficult, resulting in fewer convictions, more criminals on the streets, resulting in more crime and greater public demand for new gun...er, CRIME control laws..??
perhaps I'm up too late and drank too much coffee...
