being able to track ammo to the person who bought it is a great idea in theory. In practice it is a piss poor idea. What the state of California, and the proponents of this legislation don't seem to realize is this: The people who are committing crimes with guns aren't going down to their local WalMart and buying a gun, they are purchasing them illegally to begin with. Why are they purchasing them illegally? Because they are cheaper, more difficult to track, and more readily available. This is exactly what will happen with ammunition if this law passes. This law also doesn't take into account that there are shot shells manufactured for handguns, how do they propose tho put a serial number on each individual pellet? What about the guys who reload their old brass, and mold their own bullets? This law is simply impractical.
