SPF,

They want to make the guns use micro marking, but any person with an emery board can get rid of that in 30 seconds. Also as you probably well know, after shooting a gun for a long time, wear will destroy the micro marking anyway. Also what happens if you have one that does mark it that is working and you are shooting at the range. Here you leave the brass and they collect it at the end of the day. So I pick up some of yours and another persons and go commit a crime and toss your brass there. Who do you think they are going to come after? And some ammunition company has already jumped on the bandwagon saying they can make ammunition that the micro stamping will work on.
Another thing that came up last night which has been kept out of the press was a series of murders in the San Diego area, all committed with a 357 Magnum. Trouble was, none of the ballistics could match any two bullets to the same weapon so the figured they had more than one killer. Finally after some people described a vehicle they saw leaving the scene of a couple of the crimes, they arrested a guy and he had a 357 Magnum. Trouble was, it didn't match any of the bullets from the victims. For basically immunity as they really didn't have enough to convict him on he told them what he did. And I have the same thing I can do with my Browning DBM 9M. After each shooting he would change the barrel and throw the used one into a river.
