In Support
Testimony:
It is my understanding that:
* This bill will repeal the requirement that the Maryland State Police collect a fired shell casing from regulated firearms purchased in Maryland.
* The shell casings currently being collected are not being used in any capacity.
* The collected shell casings have helped to solve little to no crime.
* The program to catalog these shell casings has been defunded.
* The machinery to process these shell casings has been sold.
* CA and NY had similar programs, both of which were halted due to their ineffectiveness in helping to solve crimes.
In light of all of these facts, I see no need to continue the practice of collecting these shell casings.
Please give this bill a Favorable report.
