Stupid press. "Studying" an issue allows for a systematic dismantling of the idea, complete with facts and figures.

From the "opposes" article .........

President Bush does not support the push for firearms "fingerprinting" that has grown from the unsolved Washington-area sniper shootings, because he is not sure of its accuracy, a spokesman said Tuesday.

Dems are such pandering monkeys. Why not just build a DNA database to go along with their ballistic fingerprints? We could start with minorities and the mentally ill since we know statistically they are most likely to committ crimes. Liberals never think through their idiot, freedom-hating logic.

This is going to be studied for a long, long time. I'd say until January, 2009.

if they 'study' the way I did in college, then there's no danger of anything coming of it

Fingerprinting Guns

Fingerprinting guns? Why, that's a novel idea! What's a 'fingerprinting gun'?

Rather than give the Democrats a political issue three weeks before the election, the White House is going to study this before laughing the concept out of existence.

Good move.

The one, two, three's of changing a firarms finger print.
1. Stainless steel bore brush attached to drill placed in chamber.
2. Sandpaper end of bolt, extractor, and fireing pin.
3. Round metal punch tapped lightly on end of muzzle.
Liberals haven't any common sense. Now have someone studying this send me a check.

Some very articulate comments reasoning against any "ballistic fingerprinting" legislation can be read here.

I sure hope you're right. Otherwise we'll find out too late that the "W" stands for "Weasel".

And firing the gun changes the "fingerprint" according to the Second Amendment Fondation. Now what good will the fingerprint really do finding a criminal? It WILL create a database of gun owners for the grabbers to use!
