Earlier this morning, I received an email that dealt with Russ Ford and his Ammunition Coding System. According to Russ, he believes that all casings should be linked to the actual bullet that is inserted into the casing by way of possible laser etching. His proposal has no specs on how this process should or could be done. He took his proposal to Winchester and Reminton and basically told them that they could figure out how to make it work and was told that the cost of ammunition would go through the roof if this was passed, and that literally it couldn't be done. I would hate to know that I took the wrap for someone getting shot because a Quality Control department had an oversight. I work in Quality Control so I know how that works. That department doesn't find out until after there is a problem. And how many pieces of ammo run through the assembly line per minute? Also, How will they code the shotgun shells? Could you imagine laser etching a 12 gauge #8 shot shell? A good friend of mine wrote an article on this. If you are interested in reading it in it's entirety, shoot me an email and I can give you the link. When we purchase guns, we must do it the right way and have them registered by whatever means your state provides. Give them no reason to take them because they are trying whether we like it or not!
