If that's true, it's because you haven't given it enough thought. Do you own a gun? - if so, and some of your serialized ammo manages to get stolen, or you leave a serialized empty case at the range, and that ammo winds up at a crime scene
you are instantly going to be arrested. It will be up to you to prove your innocence - apart from the wholly specious nature of the charges, there is cost involved that you will not recover. And time. And reputation that may cost you your job, or future jobs.
Lovely, eh?
Yes, it will cost too much to administer; yes, there is no certainty it would work; yes, the technology to apply a serial # to each and every bullet and case is still in the works. Not a problem to the anti's as they're not terribly concerned with the minutiae of pragmatism - their funding also doesn't come out of their pockets, like yours does.
As expressed by Bobcat, getting this law is a piece of the pie, facilitating more to come. Individually they're all reasonable, right? - who could complain about waiting a day go get their new gun? Or who could complain about one-gun-a-month laws? How many do you need, anyway?
That's none of their business. Comparable to demanding confiscation of your Cobra since it doesn't get 40+mpg and emits 10 times the noxious greenhouse gases that their Prius' do. How many and how often is the concern of the buyer - there are more than enough laws to regulate those purchases and they actually do work. Microstamping of ammo is a total farce which - so far - has been seen that way by most.....the fact that it gets enough of an audience to actually wind up as a bill in anybody's house of government is what is scary.
