    Re: Trying to understand —Scott Edward Sanburn
   Dave!, (...) Ballastic fingerprinting? Well, I don't know what that is, so you need to tell me that first. I think before we need *ANY* more gun laws, we need to start enforcing the *22,000+* laws that are on the books, which, BTW, won't solve any (...)

     (...) (a question about gun registration and ballistic fingerprinting) (...) I think we should start licensing parents instead. It would solve a lot of problems. (Only half joking...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) In Parenthood, Keanu Reeves (who gets my vote for the finest actor of all time on stage or screen (ugh—I can’t believe I even typed that!)) observed that you need a license to catch a fish, but anyone can have a child… Dave! (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) I know *I'd* fail the test more than once... (...) Yes, but do you need a license to catch a child? In all honesty, Keanu Reeves isn't that bad of an actor, as long as he gets parts that are compatable with him. (Kinda like Meg Ryan, I guess.) (...)

        Re: Trying to understand —Dave Schuler
     Scott: (...) I’m not sure if that’s the "actual" term or the term that I heard on the news. In either case, it refers to a method of gun registration in which every gun is fired before sale, and the slugs and/or casings are laser-scanned so that the (...)

        Re: Trying to understand —Duane Hess
      (...) I *believe* that this refers to test firing the gun and keeping the captured bullet for a ballistic cross reference against bullets found at the scene of a crime. Similar to the human fingerprinting system in place. (...) ^^^...^^^ That's (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Trying to understand —Larry Pieniazek

        Re: Trying to understand —Larry Pieniazek
   Generally the more laws you have, the more selectively you can enforce them, if you so choose. 22,000 gun laws are about 21,853 (Plus or minus 12) too many. How about reducing to the following: - if you allow your gun to be misused, you're liable (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Trying to understand —James Simpson

        Re: Trying to understand —Larry Pieniazek
