California Ammo Scheme Endangers Homeland Security California Attorney General Bill Lockyer plans a press conference Tuesday to announce his support for a bill that would require handgun ammunition be engraved with a number distinct to each box sold in the state. This so-called bullet serialization would eliminate for practical purposes the possibility of doing business in the state by modern manufacturing companies, or ruin them financially if they attempted to comply. Today, Representative Duncan Hunter of California's Congressional delegation, who is chairman of the House armed services committee, has written Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to warn him of dire consequences should the bill pass, "Since our nation's armed forces and law enforcement agencies depend so heavily on manufacturers that produce ammunition for military, law enforcement and civilian markets, and since this proposal clearly threatens the viability of those firms, I urge you to strongly oppose ammunition serialization on the grounds that it would harm our national and homeland security."
