Just another shooter
The stupidest thing about “traceability” is it is truly useless in solving most crime. Think about it, since there is no database linking barrel profiles to serial numbers, pulling a slug from a body or a wall is not going to lead to a gun (adding to the fact that “barrel fingerprints” are largely mythological). Even if they tried to make such a database (as Parris Glendenning remarkably failed at), it wouldn’t work because it is ridiculously easy to rebarrel a gun. My Glock 23 in 40 S&W also has a 9mm target barrel. My Sig P320 has a 40 S&W barrel and two 9mm barrels. My Walther P22 has two barrels. If they want to micro print on firing pins, that is also useless since anyone with basic armorer skills could replace a firing pin and there are these crazy things called revolvers that don’t leave shell casings behind.
About the only thing that traceability will do is get guns back to gun owners after they have been stolen. SMH.
