No more reloading in Arizona

[fishingfever]

The way I read it in a couple of years if your caught with uncoded ammo you are a criminal. If you buy and register their ammo it just makes it easier for them when the time comes to take our guns. I don't understand why I have not heard more about this till now. Anyone here have any info on this??|oo

It is the same type of bill that has been introduced all over the country. these bills have seldom passed but it's a good idea to write your statehouse and let them know that you are opposed to it. The fact that there is no technology to encode ammunition should tell you what the sponsers are really after.

.

Could you tell me what date it passed the Legislature?

Could you tell me what date it was signed by the Governor?

If neither of those happened, you are just running around spreading false fears....

 

[snake river rufus]

So it's "false" to prepare for or counter upcoming events or actions?

 

[JoseCuervo]

So it's "false" to prepare for or counter upcoming events or actions?

What "upcoming" event are you preparing for???

The text of the bill that he is paranoid about says on Jan 1, 2009.

If the bill has been passed and signed, then it it is "TRUE" to be paranoid about it. But, if it was NOT passed and signed, then it is FALSE to be paranoid about something that WON'T happen on Jan 1, 2009.

Thats cool I am sure all the criminals will get right on registering there ammo. Just like they all buy there guns at dealers. LIL

the bill is old like 2006?, it was never voted on and it was canned with out any cosideration except for the 4 idiots who brought it to the table in az.

there was a topic on this 3 days before you posted the same post on azbasszone that had all the answers why's hows etc etc

Well the sponsors of the bill are as follows

Cloves C. Campbell, Jr. Democrat District 16
David Bradley Democrat District 28
Manuel Alvarez Democrat District 25
Linda Lopez Democrat District 29
Martha Garcia Democrat District 13

It looks like the bill just died in committee. No votes were ever taken.

and if it did pass, I suppose the next step would be to blaim the guy whos ammo was stolen and them used in a crime.
Amazing...

The same type of long-winded language was also applied to an anti-dove hunting bill proposed by Joe Nation (Dem) out here in California that I fought against. Because they're so enamored by their importance, they actually write the whole thing up as if it was already proposed, voted on and passed. Total waste of time, but out of control egos have no limits and our elected officals never tire of wasting both our time and our money. They only take our freedoms when we let them.
