Demand side management of crimes- Bill Would Put Serial Numbers on Bullets Tue Apr 26,10:39 PM ET SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A state Senate committee approved a proposal Tuesday to put a serial number on every handgun bullet made or sold in California. The measure cleared the Senate Public Safety Committee on a 4-2 vote over opposition from manufacturers, firearms dealers and sport shooters. The technology exists to laser-cut bullets with a number that police could use to trace who purchased bullets used in crimes, said Democratic sponsor Sen. Joseph Dunn. Purchasers would pay up to a half a cent per bullet to fund record-keeping by the state Department of Justice. Vendors would pay up to $50 a year. "We'll solve a lot of crimes if this becomes law," said Attorney General Bill Lockyer. If approved by the Legislature, the law would take effect in July 2007.
