"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."

A lot of ridiculous legislation is proposed in every state every year, much of it just to allow a politician to mollify a particular interest group while knowing it will go nowhere. Let's hope we have enough collective intelligence in these states' legislative bodies to recognize the uselessness of this concept for its stated purposes. This one is dangerous, though - it definitely has potential for the type of "back door" second amendment abridgement we've seen in the last couple of years.

This is the standard, spend millions and accomplish nothing.
"we are stopping crime one bullet at a time" no matter how many people our ignorance of the subject kills.
Next we will have a database track fuel by the gallon so we know how much each person contributes to global warming. (Not that I'm on that wagon).
