Maryland's 15-year-old ballistic fingerprinting law was a tantalizing idea that didn't work. It would doubtless be useful if police could pick up a shell casing at a crime scene and discover with a few clicks of a computer what gun it came from and who the gun's last known owner was. |

MARYLAND GUN TRACKING DATABASE SCRAPPED AFTER FAILING TO SOLVE A SINGLE CRIME
"Fingerprinting" Registry cost taxpayers untold millions
Police were never able to match up a shell found at a crime scene to a registered gun using the system, NOT ONCE in fifteen years.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the system cost an estimated $5 million in total, leading to politicians finally abolishing it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
