Maybe, maybe not. Firearms identification is not quite that simple. Everytime you put a round through the barrel, it changes just a little bit. Same with the firing pin every time it strikes a primer. You know what the most common answer is with ids? It is undetermined. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

First off, I'd have to ask where you get your numbers. The "NRA propaganda" you mention is DOJ public info. I've seen this before. It is, quite simply, crap. If there is a gun in your safe, a thug comes in while you sleep, smashes your head with a brick, robs your house and flees, they reported it as a firearms homicide. That was the work of a statistician paid for pre-determined results, not for honest statistics. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Umm, you don't live in Maryland, do you? I'm stuck here for a little longer and, let me tell you, Montgomery County is covered with "anti-gun hysteria" even when there'e nothing going on. They rank right up with NYC and LA County. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I'm not against certain, well defined restrictions. Weapons that threaten national security, for one. However, if it doesn't prevent crime, this ballistic fingerprinting then becomes nothing more than another registration scheme. Criminals need not register firearms, right? So we are registering law abiding citizens' firearms. Those do change, and it DOES NOT TAKE VERY LONG. Have you worked with an FEU? I did. Prince Georges County, Maryland. And anyone who knows Maryland, knows PG is NOT a nice place, so there was plenty of work. In PG County, we have over 100 murders every year. Of the ones that get solved, the majority do come from in-state. Where the guns come from is another story. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I list the four times the Supreme Court has upheld the view that the Second Amendment does not infer a right to firearm ownership outside of the National Guard. Gotta love that an amendment made in the late 1700s applies only to a FEDERAL national guard conceived on the early 1900s. Question: How many times did courts at all levels say slavery was right? Segregation? Violations of free speech? Illegal police actions legal in court? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You people only have rights until somebody stronger takes it away from you. Self defense is a right. As long as you can do it, anyway. Free speech is a right, until somebody stronger closes your mouth for you. God never gave anyone anything other than a chance, as far as I've seen. The bible, koran, torah etc say otherwise, and that's their choice to believe. I'm just saying what I've seen. Of course, I thank whatever IS out there that I've got my chance. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

ok, I haven't read the whole thread, will when I have more time. [feel free to flame] First off, a few states ALREADY have 'fingerprinting.' Maryland is one of them. Guess how many crimes have been solved using this. Go ahead, guess. NONE!! Not one single crime was closed because of this 'fingerprinting.' You know what this scheme, sorry, "plan" IS good for? Registering firearms. And we all know what that leads to, no matter what they tell you. Also, someone mentioned toolmarks changing. I have working in a Firearms Examination Unit. I can tell you. The toolmarks [impressions and striations left on bullets and casings] DO in fact change. It may take a few hundred or even thousand rounds. That's a lot? That takes a long time? I worked with an examiner on a case where a street thug who enjoyed drive-bys had actually fired so much ammo through the barrel that the barrel didn't even look like it had been rifled [had twists put into it] and the firing pin impressions looked like a rectangle [signifies Glock] instead of a perfect circle [like most pins] that it had started as. This is not uncommon. Thugs don't exactly take good care of their guns. I've got bad news for you. This would require IMMENSE amounts of money to either beef up the BATF or start a whole other bureau. There is already a system, IBIS and NIBIN, that saves and makes available toolmarks left on any weapons that come into FEUs as evidence. Those two cost huge amounts of money, but are at least aimed at guns that are or have a good of having been used in crimes. Ballistic Fingerprinting is a bad idea. Peariod. Besides, what part of shall not be infringed do you guys not understand? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Somehow, New Yorkers with "juice" mange to get CCW good everywhere in the state except NYC. Donald Trump's got one. Willim F Buckley's got one. Ditto Laurence Rockefeller. Same for Howard Stern. You, me, the single mother of two in the Bronx and merchant crossing Queens at 4am? fugeddaboudit ------------- I've shot more guns than I can think of. Owned only two. [past tense, state of MD, if you're reading this] I interned with the Firearms Examination Unit in Prince Georges County over the summer. SO COOL!! I actually stripped thier Desert Eagle down to single parts. Hell of a lot harder than the M16. More fun though. Anyway, I don't own any right now because it would be illegal here in Maryland or so restricted it'd be basically useless. Will own and carry as soon as I get out of here. ps - I've put more holes in paper than probably everyone here has in clouds. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Boba Fett, by far the coolest character known to Star Wars. [self prfessing geek] I've read just about every novel published, except for the ones about the movies, and I've got to tell you, he is the shit. [/self professing geek] The only characters that can even hope to compete are Vader and Han. Though I can't wait to see Yoda swinging that lightsaber. Go you little green badass!
