around something that is literally true is so Glen Beck.
It is not just "gun nuts" it is also forensics experts. Any unique marks including rifling marks change with use. The objection is not about 2A, it is about people who know something on the subject pointing out the flaws in security theater. It is not even a tracking system, simply a collection of shell casings. Assuming one of these casings match one found at a crime, the cops would look up what individual or police dept. that bought it initially. Odds are, the investigators will hit a dead end with a stolen property report.

It is not the guns, it is the theater.
