Please also note that the greedy bastards in MARYLAND have upped the tax from the 'proposed' .005 cents to 5 CENTS

They probably realized how much it will cost to maintain the database.

Yup, but unless I'm looking at it all wrong, it's basically dead. It was read on Jan. 30 and then an "unfavorable report from judiciary" was filed in march. There was no Senate action. The judiciary report is kinda funny since it says essentially that the whole thing is moot since no one makes "encoded ammo". That's just Maryland. The linked law in California actually says not one single little thing about encoded ammo. Not one. The language isn't there.

The whole thing reminds me of "smart guns". You know, stupid rings you have to wear or fingerprint readers on the grip or codes you have to punch in. The whole Clinton agreement. You don't see anyone talking about that tripe anymore.

Of course, if you genuinely have a problem with it, send a letter to your congressman.

This is going to drive ammo costs up again in Canada.

I think this has been introduced in a couple of states. My understanding is that it's being pushed by the asshat who developed the microstamping technology.

The "encoded ammo" is a ploy started by the guys who patented the process to do it. The micro stamping thing I haven't looked up. From a practical standpoint the micro stamping thing is worse for Californians as we're already quite limited in what we can purchase legally.
