A couple of things: 1) There are millions of hand guns they will never "fingerprint". 2) The smarter crooks who use autos have a habit of picking up their brass anyway. 3) Revolvers don't eject the casings.

There are millions of hand guns they will never "fingerprint"

Ballistic fingerprinting is nothing more than the next step to registration and confiscation.

First, the traitors will try to pass a ballistic fingerprinting bill covering new guns.

Then, they'll pass a law making it illegal to modify an existing gun (new barrel, new bolt, etc....) without fingerprinting the modified weapon. In other words, you'll have to go through an FFL to get a replacement barrel.

Finally, they'll enact a law requiring all guns to get fingerprinted.

.. Dremmel tools and lots of practice tend to change the "fingerprint".

Exactly what kind of felon purchases their tools from a reputable dealer anyway? So honest Joe buys a firearm to protect his home. The gun gets stolen, and that same firearm is used to commit a crime...

So the "fingerprint" helps how?

Why don't we just pass a law that requires the perp to leave his driver's license at the scene of the crime? According to some reports, no one has been caught on the basis of a fingerprint, but some idiot criminals have accidently left ID behind...

Government... (sigh)

Here's how a liberal hears what you just said;

Ears plugged, "la la la la la la la la la..."

It's not the fingerprints they want, it's names, addresses and serial numbers. It's called a gun owner registry.
