To ALL,
This must be put out to ALL Local, STATE, and FEDERAL Legislators. This Legislation must be stopped. Please insure this is sent to every Hunter, Gun Collectors and Recreational Shooter.
The Second Amendment MUST be respected and not rewritten by the left as they have done to American History. Our ability to Self Defense MUST be respected.
This post will be before 25,000 individuals within 24 hours. Keep it going until this attack on Americans is stopped.

Ammunition Accountability Legislation.
Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!
The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you buy and what calibers. Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded.
Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!
This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.
Send to your friends in these states AND fight to stop this Bill from being passed!!!
