Another Day in Armed America

9. I seriously doubt that your idea has any chance of becoming law ...

and even if it did, I doubt that it would be effective.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by fingerprinting. If you are referring a system where the firearm micro stamps the ammo when fired, this could easily be defeated by a file. Micro stamping the ammo during production might lead to finding the criminal by the rounds ejected from a pistol but then the criminal could simply use a revolver which does not eject fired rounds.

Of course a criminal could also use a stolen firearm and simply throw it away after he shot someone.

One idea I would support is to require anyone who wishes to buy ammo to have a card indicating that he had a background check and firearm safety training. This would be somewhat similar to the card a scuba diver uses to buy air for his tanks.
