About Us
Ammunition Accountability is a newly forming group of ammunition coding
technology supporters. Our group includes gun crime victims, industry
representatives, law enforcement, public officials, public policy experts, and
more. We are working together to pass legislation to make ammunition coding
technology a reality.
Ammunition coding technology works by
laser etching the back of each bullet with an alpha-numeric serial number. Then
when a potential criminal purchases a box of 9mm cartridges, the box of
ammunition and the bullets’ coding numbers would be connected to the purchaser
in a statewide database. When a bullet is found at a crime scene, the code on
the bullet can be read with a simple magnifying glass and then be run through a
statewide database to determine who purchased the ammunition and where,
providing a valuable investigative lead.
There are many ways that you can help
us solve gun crime around the nation. For more information about our
organization or information about the technology contact us: ACT(at)ammunitionaccountability.com.
