"Lockyer said coding handgun ammunition could help identify suspects in many of the murders and other violent crimes that go unsolved every year. But, while many other consumer products are tagged with tracking numbers during the manufacturing process, no other state or country has attempted to set up such a system for ammunition.
Aides to Lockyer said the proposal would add less than a penny to the cost of a cartridge. But representatives of the firearms industry warned it would be prohibitively expensive. "

What is more amazing is that tax dollars pay for these morons to come up with these great ideas.
I wish the Govenor would just say. "Alright Lockyer, we will do it. If the crime rate doesn't go down, and the price of a box of ammo goes up more than 50 cents we can shoot you"
