About encoding ammo....not that it will ever happen....I'm curious why "responsible gun owners" would be against that? I mean in an ideal world sense meaning no additonal cost. Are you planning to get away with murder? Seems to me it would be a good compromise. Help law enforcement enforce the laws and law abiding citizens would have nothing to worry about. If you are worried about being in a database where have you been and why didn't you raise hell against the Bush admin?
