(15,092 posts)It's nothing that can be accomplished immediately, but I think legislation should proceed in that direction if supported by forensics.
1. Ammo boxes can be uniquely bar-coded by the manufacturer.
2. All boxes would have their codes scanned at point of sale.
3. ID's, examined by the seller, can be scanned at point of sale.
I'd want to first see independent studies that laser etching the BASE of the projectiles works from a forensics standpoint, but it seems feasible to me. It wouldn't necessarily need to be laser etching, but some other type of identifier at the base of the projectiles... the area less likely to be severely damaged upon impact.
I'd like government researchers to work on it, with no privately-held patent on such technology.
