A nice crisp, clean, forthright damning of the ballistics fingerprints idea. Nice to have it in the FreeRepublic reference banks.
I'll be the first to admit I don't know the whole story, but it -- ballistic fingerprinting -- has never passed the smell test for me.

As we have seen with innumerable government programs, just because it doesn't work is no reason to criticize it.

The article fails to mention that even if the technology were perfect, that it would still be ineffective against many criminals unless all 100,000,000+ pre-existing guns were "printed" by government search of every home and other possible hiding place.
Which would lead to CWII.

Anyone who has ever field striped a .45 knows how fast you can swap the barrel and change the fingerprint.
A matter of seconds . . .
