Has Pennsylvania Come Up With the Dumbest Gun Law Yet?
This entry details Pennsylvania House Bill 586, which proposes mandatory encoding of ammunition with serial numbers traceable after firing. The bill requires manufacturers to engrave bullets and casings, and owners must dispose of non-compliant ammunition by January 1, 2024. A per-round tax is also proposed to fund a tracking database, potentially impacting manufacturers and consumers. The analysis comes from William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, who critically assesses the bill's implications.
