"Rocket surgery" just sounds better than "Brain science"
And has been in use are around here for years, along with "does the Pope xxxx in the woods?"
The ammo ser# bills are just crap, stalking horses that they expect to get shot down. We still have to spend time, effort and money against them though. And should one actually pass, well....then what?
Perhaps something from all the ammo makers like what Barret did for California might have some effect. If it could be brought about. Image the public reaction when they get told (repeatedly, by us, is necessary) that the cops are going to run out of bullets, because, by this stupid law, the bullet makers can't sell their product in your state!, and that includes to the cops who protect you! Tell all the little old ladies how the police can't protect them any more, because they can't buy bullets to practice with, or use against criminals! Don't bother explaining the truth, just tell them the (possible) results! And be sure and tell them which of their congressmen caused this to happen! You think being dependant on foreign oil is bad? Just wait until the police are dependant of foreign ammo!!!!
Anybody checked the exact language of these bills to see if "police" ammo is excluded? I would hope that they are not. But if they are, think about the consequences. Every shooting with a non-ser# bullet (or one where the number could not be read) could be a police officer gone bad! The first thing that would have to be done, every time, is to check the bullet against ALL the police guns, as they are the only ones who do not have ser# bullets!!!
Ok, fantasy, but hey, it could happen? Right?
