SynopsisFrom the Congressional Record:
the Federal criminal code to prohibit a licensed manufacturer or importer from transferring a firearm to any person before test firing it and preparing and transmitting ballistics records to the Attorney General. Sets forth civil and criminal penalties for violations, including license suspension for up to five years. Directs the Attorney General to compile the ballistics records in electronic form for use in Federal, State, and local criminal investigations, arrests, indictments, and prosecutions.
Directs the Attorney General to assist qualified firearms manufacturers and importers in: (1) obtaining use of new and upgraded computerized ballistics and bullet recovery equipment owned by the Government; (2) training personnel necessary to develop, maintain, research, and evaluate a firearms ballistics information database and to record and transmit to the Attorney General such information; and (3) implementing effective ballistics testing.AnalysisObviously the Senator had not spoken to anyone about the experiences in Maryland. They have spent in the millions keeping shell casings and such. The MD State Police now want the law repealed as it is a waste of their time and tax payor money.
