The people who come up with crap…what planet are they from?! Serialized bullets and brass? Is there even an ammunition manufacturer on the planetthat will do this to accommodate only a single State?
Maryland House Bill 51 – Regulated Firearms – Encoded Ammunition – Tax
http://mlis.state.md.us/2008RS/bills/hb/hb0517f.pdf
Stock up on ammo now? Nope…you’re gonna have to get rid of that non-encoded ammo!
5-604 “On or before January 1, 2011, an owner of ammunition for use in a regulated firearm that is not encoded by the manufacturer in accordance with 5-603 of this subtitle shall dispose of the ammunition.”
But it won’t really affect the price of ammunition, right? Wrong!
11-1B-04 “The encoded ammunition database tax rate is 5 cents per round of encoded ammunition.”
The way I read the wording below, simply firing the encoded ammunition is a misdemeanor if the bullet encoding on the bullet is unreadable after it impacts something?!
5-608 (2) “A person who willfully destroys or otherwise renders unreadable the information encoded on ammunition required under this subtitle is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 1 year or a fine of $1,000 or both.”
For those of you not familiar with the phrase, “regulated firearm” in Maryland, it includes all handguns (as well as a long, detailed list of "scary assault weapons"). There's a bunch of other stuff in this bill too, but I kept throwing up, so I had to stop typing.
