What difference does it make with revolving jailhouse doors?

"The results can be gigantic"


Time will tell. Canada put an awful lot of money into a firearm tracing system that was a spectacular failure.

And now in Washington just a slap on the wrist for drive by shootings.

It appears ATF has a lot of time on their hands.

Sounds like random fine scratches pre-applied by a piece of sandpaper or pick when loading mags, would pretty much negate it. Plus a handful of random range brass generously scattered around.?

And a brasscatcher bag, like Clark used in Without Remorse. (Book, not that blasphemy they tried to call a "movie adaptation"...)

Changing the slide or maybe barrel would give different marks, and while they could maybe link one crime to another where the same gun was used, that doesn't necessarily lead them to the criminal, especially if the gun is swapped between persons.

Or…..Just don't use your firearm to commit a crime. I know, I know, too much to ask of the criminal element in our degrading (purposefully) society.

Just another feel-good, self-righteous, virtue signaling waste of our tax dollars.

Trying to understand the use of the word "reduce" in the title of the Article.

If the computer is used to ID shell casings found at the scene of a crime...then the crime has already been committed.
Nothing to reduce there....

LOL....some politician will come along to make that act. ILLEGAL. Or maybe.....the act (picking up your brass) will just be added to the definition of "Tampering with Evidence".

Aloha, Mark

PS....but then....
I expect that there will also be a greater push to register and provide fired cases for all of your firearms. Which will nicely coincide with the new annual lic. fees to buy the equipment, keep it running, file storage and pay for the machine operator's salary.

OK…. Analyzing something after the fact does NOT reduce crime, it merely helps to solve the POTENTIAL perpetrator… which there's still no guarantee since a good portion of guns used in crimes are stolen.

I assume that the goal is to have a national database of this type of imaging along with a registry. Assuming no or little tampering (ahahahahahahaah), one could conceivably find brass at a crime scene and immediately get to the owner via registry. This would reduce crime in totality because the criminals would be apprehended faster.

It's a lot of wishful thinking, imo.
