I Love It - Not Gun Control - But - Ammo Control.......

27. Thanks

Regarding the ammunition purchases, I was thinking in terms of slowing down (or at least tracking) the supply, on the grounds that an unloaded A5-15 is subtantially less dangerous, but you make a good point.

I suppose that I'd be content if the requirements for purchasing ammunition were at least as strict as the requirements when I attempt to purchase Sudafed. That is, they check my license, log my purchase, and require my signature.

I was thinking of mandatory registration both as a means of tracing stolen weapons and also for enforcing forfeiture of firearms following criminal conviction.

I'm in favor of ballistic fingerprinting, even with its flaws, because it seems like another useful baseline for tracking firearms stolen and later used in crimes. Not enough to seal the deal on its own, perhaps, but possibly helpful as supplemental info.

Regarding those laws that you identify as already in place, I was indeed unaware that this was the case--thank you.
