On December 11, State Senator Ronald Ramsey of Dekalb and Rockdale counties introduce legislation to require what amounts to serial numbers on the bottom of all bullets that can be used in a pistol in Georgia.
The extensive bill includes requirements for taxing of the ammo to fund the requirement and exhaustive record-keeping of who is buying ammo.
This bill is identified as Senate Bill 12 and is a direct threat to the Second Amendment, sport shooting, and hunting.

Mr. Tolleson,

As my representative in the state senate, I would like to request the you vote no on State Bill 12. I am sure you are aware that this bill would ultimately require that all ammunition that can be used in a handgun be coded with some sort of "serial number" and would require that buyer be registered in a state database as purchasing said ammunition.

I am an avid outdoorsman that enjoys hunting, fishing, recreational shooting and many other activities. These activities are all within the letter of the law.

While I understand the purpose of this bill, as a means to assist criminal investigations. I see this bill as only effecting the average law abiding citizen. Just as with many other gun related laws, they keep honest people honest and force criminals to find another means for finding the tools of their lawlessness. This bill is just like punishing 97% of the population for the actions of 3%of the population.

Additionally, I can only see that the logistics and finances for this bill would all but make ammunition impossible to purchase due to the cost.

I would appreciate your help in stopping this bill from becoming law.

Thank you,
Nik C. Jett
