Add to all of this the legislation that is being put forward to "Serialize" and/or "MicroStamp" ammunition in several states. These legislative moves are designed to remove ammunition from legal and licensed weapons holders, and make home reloading illegal. It would also require those who own ammunition that is NOT serialized, to destroy it at their own cost, and loss. Not only would these impending laws remove sport shooting from our country, due to the fact that ammunition would then be "regulated" and therefore more expensive to obtain, but it would not allow the competition shooters to reload their own ammunition to save money. Lastly there would be an amazing shortage of ammunition for the general populous, the police forces, and the military. Check the list below to see if your state is pursuing this legislation...
