Not a single case solved after 15 years? That’s because law abiding people who purchase their guns rather than stealing them aren’t the ones committing crimes.
The subject matter experts all predicted this result, but the liberal administrators overrulled them, because they wanted to believe the disarmists.

Those same dollars could have gone into expanded crime lab capacity.
