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. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
