Ammo SS# Bills in Tenn. and Maryland

[MountainMan]

Richard - you're from Tenn. aren't you.  Any chance of the below getting through.  The same bill is being considered in Maryland.  A new twist on gun control.

From NRA ALert
TENNESSEE:  Ammo Serialization Bill Filed in House and Senate!  On Thursday, January 17, legislation was filed in both the Tennessee House and Senate that would requires all handgun ammunition manufactured or sold in Tennessee to be coded with a serial number, and entered into a statewide database at the time of sale.  Encoded ammunition would be registered to the purchaser and would include the date of transaction, the purchaser's name, date of birth, driver's license number, and the serial number of the ammunition.  SB3395, sponsored by State Senator Reginald Tate (District 33) and HB3245, sponsored by State Representative Larry Miller (District 88) pose a serious threat to our Right to Keep and Bear Arms and need to be stopped immediately.  Please contact your State Legislators and respectfully urge them to protect the Second Amendment rights of Tennessee's law-abiding gun owners by opposing SB3395 and HB3245.  Please visit http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/senate/members/smembers.htm#Find for contact information for your State Senator, and http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/house/members/hmembers.htm#Find for contact information for your State Representative.

Dave:

Thanks for the heads up on these bills. I had somehow missed the NRA alert. I'll be in touch with my legislators regarding them.

Tate and Miller are both Democrats from the Memphis area of Tennessee, Tate being a freshman senator. While I don't expect their bills to see the light of day, "eternal vigilance" and all that . . . .

Thanks again.

My State Senator, who is a part of the leadership in the Tennessee Legislature, has already responded to my e-mail message. He states, "I am adamantly opposed to SB 3395/HB 3245."
