Don't these people know that it's a 30 sec job to completly change these so called fingerprints?How much money is going to be thrown away on some more bulls***.

From a strictly legal standpoint, I'm truthfully in the "I don't know" group. (Just because I don't know doesn't mean I gotta like it.)

But it's dumber than hammered dirt, for the reason pointed out by beemerb.

Gaining ground on this one, I for one think violates privacy, and is also TOTALLY useless! Just designed to increase the cost of buying firearms pure and simple.

Whether or not ballistic fingerprinting (BF) is effective is irrelevant. Everyone who surfs this site knows how easy it is to change a ballistic fingerprint. . . .new barrel or firing pin.

Proponents of BF know how easy it is also. Soon after the BF laws are in place some advocacy group (HCI, for instance) will point out the fallacy of the law. Then the move will be on to control spare parts.

Just one more example of how Fabian socialists gradually turn up the heat.
