I'm about as dumb as a rock with this new technology, but somebody please tell me how many times does a bad guy leave a casing at the crime scene?
2nd... If I were a bad guy, what would prevent me from grabbing a handful of casings from the range, and scattering them all over the crime scene?
Answer One:
Pretty often
Answer Two:
Nothing
But the real silliness is that the majority of drive-bys are committed by stolen weapons, so the ID will lead the police back to someone who will immediately (truthfully or not) claim the gun was stolen. By the way, there's another bill that will make it a crime to not report the theft of your gun.
Sometimes, though, crook's attempt to outsmart the system is what catches them. One of the primary sources for finding hit and run drivers is looking for people who call the cops half an hour after the crime and report their car stolen.
They just can't get it thru their heads that CRIMMINALS DO NOT OBEY THE LAW.
What do you care about casings if you stole the gun in the first place?
