Politics on this issue aside, think this through for a moment.
Would you care to share how you'd like to individually code the more than 10,000,000,000 rounds of ammunition in manufactured each year in the US, in a manner not easily defeated, on a surface that is launched at ~1,000 feet per second and is literally designed to deform as much as possible upon impact?
- protomyth 11y agoSadly, individually coding things that shouldn't be individually coded no matter how foolish is not out of the realm possibility for our government. I point you to labeling of biodiesel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_Identification_Number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_Identification_Number I do agree with you, it is impractical and non-effective.
- panglott 11y agoYea, my initial read was that he suggested individually marking each casing. Which is no doubt quite difficult, but certainly more feasible than the bullet. Or maybe we could require armor-piercing rounds.
