....somehow it seems like the proponents of the technology haven't quite thought this through.

Until guns can be smartlinked or are constantly in contact with Cloud software, or have the theoretical biological fingerprint readers that people like to talk about, gun control methods seem incredibly ineffective. Serial numbers can be removed, parts can be replaced, evidence can be removed.

I suppose microstamping would be able to catch a person who just sort of fired it in anger and wasn't involved with any sort of organized crime or anything? Which seems...I guess okay? That whole stolen gun thing seems like a huge issue with the plan.
