Am I so far outside of the loop that I didn't know you had to register ammo in certain areas? Crazy.
I have no idea but the possibility has some crazy ideas running through my head ...
* Do you have to turn in your used brass to ammunition inspectors to prove you fired the rounds? Do you have to show the same number of bullet holes on a paper target as the brass you turn in to account for where you fired each round? Must you recover the lead from the berm? From inside the game animal (oh wait, no way the allow HUNTING in that area - so that's a mute point).
* Is it even legal to reload spent brass and if so do the reloads have to be registered with the DC gubmint? Or is reloading ammo the equivalent of making moonshine inside the Beltway? Is owning reloading equipment a crime on the level of owning a still or a bong?
* How is black powder "ammo" registered?
* How do you fit a registration mark on a .177-caliber BB, or are air rifles not covered by the registration requirements? What about potato cannons? Pea shooters? Do students have to inform the government if they ball up a piece of cafeteria napkin with the intent to spit it through a milk straw? What about rubber bands fired from wooden clothespin "guns"? What about rubber bands flung off fingers? If I skip a rock on the Potamac River, do I have to first purchase that rock from a gubmint store to ensure it is properly registered?
