This all apparently falls under the larger umbrella of the Ammunition Accountability Act. On one of their websites, their motto is "saving lives one bullet at a time".
If this ever passes, it will probably make ammunition unafordable by most, not to mention the issues it poses to 2nd ammendment rights ( protection of freedom) and privacy issues.

This type of legislation really concerns me. It seems those that oppose the second ammendment are taking action that has worked well for the anti hunting/trapping groups. Rather than pushing for outright bans which meet heavy opposition, these groups have sought to place restictions on rights rather than removing them. It seems that the chisel works better than the axe. Sorry if I have moved off topic.
