Ballistic Fingerprinting piece on 60 Minutes

[triggertime]

FYI, 60 minutes is running a piece on Ballistic Fingerprinting right now. *groan*

Is it me or does one feel the need to punch gun controllers in the head? I'll try to improve myself if it's me. I really do feel this way and I seem to not have control over it.

Ballistic fingerprinting just does not work.

NRA article on the subject:

They must have been reading my idea that I suggested at TFL. Record the BF and the serial number and trace it like a gun 's serial number. No registry of gunowners that way.

BF is a ploy .. and an unreliable one at best. It hinders aquisition of firearms by legal and responsible people (MD comes to mind) ... and is all part of the many methods used to erode the 2nd.

I noticed that they failed to mention that the PRK did a study and decided that it won't actually work, even on guns that aren't messed with.

You missed that part. It was briefly mentioned along with the fact CA felt it would cost too much in money and manpower, and then they moved on.

In the show the V.P. of GLOCK stated that he supported the so-called "ballistic fingerprinting".

It's not just you.

That's right! When does the "Boycott Glock" event start?

 

[XLMiguel]

SOS/DD. Why are all the gun laws written by people who apparently know nothing about guns?

"Boycott Glock"

Mine started when they put the safety on the TRIGGER!!! That started the infamous police CSD (criminally stupid discharge) numbers skyrocketing.
