Any new public policy measure undertaken to reduce, regulate or limit access to the guns and ammunition that have contributed to the loss of human life across the nation's urban landscape is a step in the right direction.

Toward that end, the Oakland City Council tonight is expected to weigh the merits of an ordinance that would impose license and regulatory requirements on the sellers of ammunition in the city.

Under the new proposal, anyone who purchases ammunition would be required to provide a thumbprint.

If approved, the city's chief of police would have the power to approve all new firearms dealers and impose strict rules on ammunition storage and record-keeping, matching existing state laws on handgun ammunition...

Seriously spot on approval. Most bullets can be traced to the gun, and if you can link the gun, then you've got a short cut to finding whomever shot whatever.

I like this law.

On another note, I find it tragic that middle class Americans feel so insecure and threatened by other middle class Americans that they feel the need to stock pile weapons and ammunition to military coup preparation levels.

It's a prime example of what Khafka wrote about. Perpetual, never-ending war amongst the common man. Keep the masses scared of themselves and they will never be able to form any sort of coalition which will allow them to advance in society.
