Bullet Serialization Threat in Missouri

Legislation (SB 1200) that would mandate, as early as 2009, bullet serialization -- the process by which each individual round of ammunition is identified and marked with a laser-engraved serial number -- has been introduced in the Missouri State Senate. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association of the firearms and ammunition industry, has made clear that serializing ammunition on a mass production basis is not feasible from a practical standpoint and any legislation mandating such action could rightfully be considered a de facto ban on ammunition.

NSSF will be monitoring this legislation carefully and will alert you as soon as the bill is assigned to a committee.
