SB1076: Ammunition face to face only with registration

You may only purchase ammunition suitable for your registered firearms and you cannot even possess ammunition that is not suitable for a registered firearm:

Sec. 33. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2013) (a) On and after July 1, 2014, no person shall purchase or possess ammunition without having first obtained a registration card identifying a firearm suitable for use with that ammunition.

(b) On and after July 1, 2014, no person shall deliver ammunition without having first verified that the ammunition purchaser possesses a registration card for a firearm that is suitable for use with that ammunition or a receipt demonstrating that the person has applied to register a suitable firearm in accordance with sections 31 to 43, inclusive, of this act and the application is pending.

Face to face purchase of ammunition only -- no more ordering through the internet:
Sec. 23. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2013) (a) No licensed importer, licensed manufacturer or licensed dealer shall transfer ammunition to a person in this state unless such licensed importer, licensed manufacturer or licensed dealer has verified the identity of the transferee by examining a valid identification document of the transferee that contains a photograph of the transferee.

(b) No licensed importer, licensed manufacturer or licensed dealer shall ship or transport any ammunition to any person in this state other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer or licensed dealer.

(c) As used in this section, "licensed importer", "licensed manufacturer", "licensed dealer" and "ammunition" have the meanings ascribed to them in 18 USC 921, and "identification document" has the meaning ascribed to it in 18 USC 1028(d).

Now connect the above citations with this one, which means that if you have the wrong ammo floating around, you lose your registrations:
Sec. 37. (NEW)
(b) The department may grant or renew a registration card only if the applicant is in compliance with sections 31 to 43, inclusive, of this act and all other applicable federal and state laws relating to firearms and ammunition.

I stated in a previous thread that this law is designed to be almost impossible to abide by completely and each infringement leads to revocation of all rights to register (and therefore own) any firearms. This thing is a gun grab from top to bottom. Do not let this one out of your sight. It must receive your highest attention.

So if me and a friend are going to the range that day, he can't pick up a little extra ammo for my gun and vice versa?? It sounds to me like they're attempting to make us say "HELL, it isn't even worth carry or shooting a gun in this sate" and give up.

Nope. The ammunition has to be suitable for one of the firearms listed on your registration.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Now you're gett'n' it.

I think that the bill was introduced 1 day after the legislative deadline .... ooops.

David - can you please provide more information on that deadline? Perhaps a statutory or constitutional citation so I can learn more about it?

Nevertheless, can't the assembly and the gov'na simply pass a law retroactively setting the deadline a day later? Hmmm... yes... I do believe that I remember reading something about a retroactive something or other being passed into law in CT merely two years ago.

Meaning that they missed the deadline for many of the bills (for the raised bills) ... I thought it was the 5th of March .. they did most raised bills on 6th

Also, the committee bills that were voted on on 7 FEB 13 (they were proposed bills then) -- They did not notice the 7 FEB 13 meeting within the time limits required (24 hrs prior to meeting ... they missed it by a few hours, only giving us only about 21 hrs) So the committee bills are not going to pass muster either IMO.

The BIG one, SB 1076 ... is a raised bill...

These time limits are important...

So they would have to wait until next session...

nearly ALL CT politicians are being intentionally deceptive

I spoke with my state representative -- a republican -- yesterday at the LOB. He assured me that he had never heard about SB1076.

"What's that you say? No, I never heard of that bill. I'll write the number down and take a look. A public hearing this week? I'll check into it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention."

If I was a cynical person, I would agree that there may be a touch of deception. If I was less than cynical I would say that it was a sign of complete obliviousness. Either way -- it ain't a good sign.

If the guy is not on the PSS committee he is likely telling the truth ... they focus on what is on their committee ... when it gets out of committee then he become aware.

my thoughts exactly. deception is quite powerful over those that fall for it. and nearly ALL CT politicians are being intentionally deceptive

The legislative deadlines are mandatory deadlines ... if passed into law, a judge would be compelled to strike it down.

And I get that but I talked to him at around noon when I suspected that someone else would have raised it with him. Maybe nobody else in my district attended or spoke with him. If they had, they would have learned that they have a republican rep who told me he is in favor of universal back ground checks and likely a 10+ mag ban and a more restrictive AWB (with grandfathering).

I was referring to the potential of SB1076 deceptively being written bogusly after the deadline knowing it's bogus, but intending to appear real so as to take everyone's attention away from the real bills at hand.
though the fact that they spent so much time writing it in statutory form in full length that it is, just pisses me off even more knowing how much tax payer's money was wasted.

They were waiting for a e-cert bill from the task force but...what??? No e-cert bill?? Oh crap...

While leaders continue to decide what will be included in the bipartisan gun control bill, the Public Safety Committee is planning to hold a public hearing Thursday on several gun bills. The committee has until March 21 to move legislation out of the committee.

So who is right?
