This airhead doesn't even suspect the millions of dollars this useless dream would cost. Yes, sometimes you can use it when you catch the guy with the gun. But a bullet from every rifle or handgun in the whole wide world.
That can be altered in a few moments in a dozen different ways ie: file, sandpaper, steelwool, drill, lapping compound, plain old neglect, rust, barrel change, firing pin change, extractor change, besides the perp would have to be stupid to use a gun that is tied to him as the original owner etc, etc.
She wants somebody to pass a law that will make the sniper bad guys stop. We already got twenty thousand of them on the books, that the sniper(s) care less about than the people they are killing. The best way to stop them is, for a good guy with a gun (police or citizen), to shoot them first.
Barf Barf What a farse. I can just imagine what my husband would do if somebody came to our door to fingerprint all of his hunting rifles. Some are from his grandfather. Heck, you can even buy guns at swap meets and garage sales. What is this guy thinking of? Crazy nuts have to have something to crow about. I hate the sniper as much as the next guy but fingerprinting all guns is like closing the barn door after the horse is gone. Totaly insane.
