Ballistic Fingerprinting continues to fail in Maryland State
Maryland State Police Forensic Science Division | September, 2004 | John J. Tobin

Continuing problems include the failure of the MD-IBIS to provide any meaningful hits. There have been no crime investigations that have been enhanced or expedited through the use of MD-IBIS. . . . The status of teh sister system to MD-IBIS, the New York State Combined Ballistic Identification System (CoBIS) was reviewed. . . . The result however is the same as Maryland. . . . The annual budget request for CoBis is approximately $4 million.

LIBERALS = STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

Socialism has been PROVEN to be a LOUSY form of government yet the libturds keep trying to get it here in the USA.

Prove that Darwin's theory AIN'T WORKING FAST ENOUGH.

"Ballistic Fingerprinting" has always been and always will be a sick and stupid joke. Like the Maryland Gun Lock Law. Where you have to buy the lock with a new handgun purchase. yet, there's nothing within the law that specifies that you have to use the lock. "Ballistic Fingerprinting" is a Warm Fuzzy that does absolutely nothing!

Run a round file down the barrel of a revolver and you've just destroyed the wherewithal of the fingerprinting.

Automatics?... Buy a new barrel and bushing at a gun show!

Don't even get me started on "Smart Gun" Technology!

Jack.
