I got this in an email today and I just thought I'd post it. I haven't looked into it at all and I don't live in Washington but something like, if true, could cause ripples everywhere. I just thought it may be some good information to pass on. I think this came off the NRA's website?
Ammo Serialization (Registration) Bill Proposed in Washington State!
Please Contact Your State Legislators Today!
Legislation has been proposed in Olympia that poses a very serious threat to our Right to Keep and Bear Arms and it needs to be stopped immediately.
House Bill 3359, sponsored by State Representatives Al O’Brien (D-1), Brendan Williams (D-22), Dennis Flannigan (D-27), and Jamie Pedersen (D-43), would require that all handgun ammunition manufactured or sold in Washington to be coded with an individual serial number, and entered into a statewide database at the time of sale. Encoded ammunition would be registered to the purchaser and would include the date of transaction, the purchaser’s name, date of birth, driver’s license number, and the serial number of the ammunition.
This dangerous bill needs to be stopped now. HB3359 only serves to harass law-abiding gun owners, as criminals are not likely to purchase ammunition through legal channels. Please contact your State Senator and your State Representative today and respectfully urge them to oppose HB3359. Contact information for your State Legislators can be found by visiting

It's dead...Last Friday was the cutoff for policy bills to get out of committee in their house of origin. This one did not receive a hearing.

Honestly, I don't see the harm in tracking sales of handgun ammo, or every type of ammo for that matter. It could be useful in many unsolved crimes/murders I imagine.
Gives you one more reason to reload your own huh?

I'm sure it would add some $ to the overall cost.
I think this was just a 'feel-good' proposal by the politicians who obviously haven't grasped the fact that criminals usually don't buy ammo from the gunshop or wallyorld.
