Despite Ruling, Washington Council Still Attacking the Second Amendment
Nearly six months after the Supreme Court put an end to the District of Columbia’s decades-old ban on handgun possession, the City Council here passed a sweeping new ordinance on Tuesday to regulate gun ownership.
The legislation would require all gun owners to receive five hours of safety training and to register their firearms every three years. In addition, they would have to undergo a criminal background check every six years.

Oregon: Help to Allow Employees & Visitors to Transport and Store Lawfully-Owned Firearms in Motor Vehicles Parked on Certain State Properties
Gun owners in Oregon are all too familiar with the never-ending assault on the state’s firearms preemption law by state agencies, cities and counties, and local school districts. Section 166.170(1) of Oregon Revised Statutes clearly states: “Except as expressly authorized by state statute, the authority to regulate in any matter whatsoever the sale, acquisition, transfer, ownership, possession, storage, transportation or use of firearms or any element relating to firearms and components thereof, including ammunition, is vested solely in the Legislative Assembly.” Please submit written comments in favor of the proposed rule changes by Monday, December 22, 2008

The folks from ammunition accountability are at it again this year. Although this piece of legislation keeps dying every time it is proposed, they are trying again. There tag line of saving lives one bullet at a time is comical at best. The system has many conceptual problems, including increasing the manufacturing cost of ammunition, as well as local, state and federal agency administrative cost. The thought that one could track a criminal through a registered bullet is a little far fetched.
What makes one think if criminals steal guns, and deface serial numbers on guns, they will not do the same for ammunition?
From WND:
Group asks states to track citizens’ ammo
Organization claims it is ’saving lives 1 bullet at a time’

Legislation to trace ammunition is pending in several states, and many gun owners are concerned that it is just another attempt by anti-gun groups to violate citizens’ Second Amendment rights.An organization known as Ammunition Accountability is pushing to make coding technology mandatory across the nation. Its website claims it is a group of “gun crime victims, industry representatives, law enforcement, public officials, public policy experts, and more” who are “saving lives one bullet at a time.”
If states pass the legislation, manufacturers will be required to laser etch a serial number into the back of each bullet and the inside of cartridge casings, a patented process developed by Seattle, Wash., resident Russ Ford and his business partners, Steve Mace and John Knickerbocker.
According to Seattle Weekly, the men couldn’t find an ammunition manufacturer to agree to stamp bullets, so they hired a lobbyist to push for state legislation to require the laser coding. They launched the Ammunition Accountability website and successfully introduced bills in the following 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee and Washington.

Here is a great post from Snowflakes in Hell
“I believe in common-sense gun safety laws”
Says Barack Obama, so you cousin humpers can stop buying up so many guns. Jim Geraghty points out:
Of course, a lot of these new Democrats in the House and Senate are A-rated by the NRA, and plenty more are B-rated. But there is now at least some chance of gun control legislation getting through Congress, a reason for gun owners to be wary of the new Congress. A few who insisted that Democrats would never make a move on this issue are beginning to sweat a little bit.
They ought to sweat. A lot of prominent Democrats are going to have egg on their faces if Obama follows through on his platform in regards to guns. We know he only supports common-sense gun safety laws, and that’s exactly what we’re afraid of.
