Put Serial Numbers on Bullets
to Fight Chicago Gun Violence

By AWR Hawkins. September 1st, 2016

Illinois state representative Sonya Harper (D-6th) is pushing to require serial numbers on all bullets sold in the state as a way to fight gun violence in Chicago.

She introduced the measure on Tuesday.

According to Fox 32, Harper said, "We just want to know how the guns and the bullets are getting into the hands of our youth and causing senseless harm and murder on our streets." Her measure would require a unique number on all bullet casings and the base of the bullet itself, so police could theoretically run numbers of recovered bullets/casings to figure out where the ammunition was sold. Officers would then go to the retailer to find out who purchased the ammunition. .......

Some may recall Maryland's dismal failure with their scheme of ammo tagging, not to mention it's cost. Crimes solved? Zero. It can be reliably assumed that the amount of unmarked ammunition available to would-be criminals is more than enough to circumvent such a proposed and laughable plan from achieving anything remotely useful. Once again we see a pitiful attempt at indirect 'gun control', paid for no doubt by the tax payer.

"You don't have to be Jewish to fight by our side."
