CONNECTICUT: Two Anti-Gun Bills to be Heard in Committee Next Week! As we reported last week, two proposals very dangerous to gun owners were "raised" and will be considered by the Joint Judiciary Committee on Monday, March 17. Raised Bill No. 603 would require all ammunition sold in Connecticut to be coded with an individual serial number (ammunition serialization) and entered into a statewide database at the time of sale. Encoded ammunition would be registered to the purchaser and would include the date of transaction, the purchaser's name, date of birth, driver's license number, and the serial number of the ammunition. All unserialized ammunition would have to be forfeited. Also, Raised Bill No. 607 would seek to ban the sale of semi-automatic handguns not equipped with so-called "micro-stamping" technology. Micro-stamping is a failed technology that would require identifying marks to be etched into the firing pin and breech face of a firearm. Raised Bill No. 607 doesn't stop there! It would also outlaw the private sale or transfer of long guns. Massachusetts
Senate to Consider Lead Ammunition Ban!
Bill
Reaches Senate Floor, Please Contact Your State
Senator Today! On
Tuesday, January 29, Senate
Bill 2406,
introduced by State Senator Steven Tolman (D-2nd
Suffolk & Middlesex), will be heard on the Senate
Floor. SB2406
would create a more restrictive policy regarding the
use of "toxic chemicals" in the
Commonwealth. Unless amended, this legislation could virtually shut down all shooting ranges as well as ban the sale and use of lead ammunition for self-defense, hunting, and target practice in the Commonwealth. Non-lead alternatives exist for ammunition but are significantly more expensive and, in many instances, have sub-standard performance characteristics. Shooting ranges already fall under federal EPA regulations concerning environmental impact and recent science and EPA guidelines show that lead ammunition on shooting ranges can be managed without detrimentally affecting the environment. Predictably, this legislation does not account for the serious impacts on shooting ranges and the sportsmen and gun owners who use them. Gun
