Bullet micro serialization

[Area52]

As a retired officer, how often would you say the serial number on a firearm actually leads LEO to the criminal ?

Realistically - not often.
Good point, most folks have no idea of the legal process. Thinking that a serial number proves beyond reason. Serial numbers if recorded, can lead to ownership but not necessarily the end user.

Unless there’s a true re-reform to this new world order of prosecutors pandering to the movement, serial numbers, ballistic likelihoods, smoking guns and a videos still aren’t enough to find and approve probable cause. If 50% of violent crime cases involving firearms resulted in a swift and meaningful penalty, I’d say big cities could reduce 50% of recidivism compared to the bail/bond free alternative.

So the serialization of ghostly guns and ammunition solely for reducing violent crime is merely more political rhetoric.

I can’t think of a single law, ordinance or warning label that the criminal adheres to, aside from they still wearing their Covids masks.

By now one would think banning violent armed criminals would be on the table.

Proof that you don't need to take a physics course to get a law or political "science" degree.

Anyone happen to notice where this originated from - Canada. Their PM isn't exactly firearm friendly in the first place.

And, oh yeah, like the rest of this "common sense gun control" it's not going to do one blessed thing to impact the behavior of criminals. The potential for governmental abuse of this unproven technology is staggering.

Are they talking about numbering the bullet or the case? Both? I would think any marks on a bullet wouldn’t survive a trip down the barrel let alone impact.

I assume this would mean doing ffl type paperwork for every round purchased too.

Yes, we know what the plan is. Fighting crime…no.

As I understand the bullet but this is written by idio- er, people who don't understand guns and refuse to do basic journalism to push an agenda

First of all, this product is in Canada, second if you read more clearly it’s political motivated, talks about minorities and school shootings, doubt this will go anywhere, plus since it’s Yahoo reporting it, there very deep in the pockets of the left….just sayin

A swaging press can be built if you know a welder. Plans are available online so jacketed, hollow point and frangible ammunition is on the table

i only reload pistol, is "swaging" necessary..??

Swagging is for lead bullets, when I reloaded lead, I bought cast bullets, never the soft lead

No but it can be more efficient although more costly at start up. Quite a bit more costly

Not just lead but jacketed and frangible too
