SPF,
I agree and you make good and valid points. My guns are registered in two places along with the serial numbers, date I got them, and any other information that would be needed to identify them. Also if one were stolen I would be immediately reporting it as so as soon as I found it gone. The problem with micro marking is it won't last long if the gun is used much. And the firing pin can have that mark removed in a few seconds with an emery board or even just replace the pin. I kind of liked the idea they were kicking around about making the guns where they could only be fired by the owner but I think that has been dropped as to expensive and they hadn't really perfected the technology. Also it could hurt the police if one was hurt and another had to use that person weapon to defend themselves, then they would be out of luck. Personal responsibility, safety, and common sense is what is most stressed in our classes. And as for the changing of the barrel, I can change mine in about 15 seconds, so that would throw off any ballistics if I wanted to use mine to commit a crime. The sad case is, crooks are going to get weapons no matter how many laws and safe guards are passed and only the honest people are going to be hurt if they take away any means for them to defend themselves.
