State-of-the-art bullet triggers debate

(Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:20:06 -0500) --- A gun owner himself, Ford hopes the cost of his bullet - just a penny
to imprint ten rounds - will make it more attractive.
He says in the end, he just wants to help solve crimes.
"A very simple and eloquent and universal solution to the problem and
that's how we came up with serialized ammunition," said Ford.

State-of-the-art bullet triggers debate
By KOMO Staff & Seattle Weekly
SEATTLE --
A local man has come up with a state-of-the-art bullet, and it has
triggered a controversial debate.
The bullet has your name on it, in a way.
Invented by Russ Ford, the small piece of lead has a laser-imprinted
bar code on it that Ford hopes will help police connect bullets to
criminals.
But the bullet has been controversial since its inception.
Some agree that the bullet would help track down criminals while
others claim it's just another form of gun control.
"Oh, yes. Anytime that you talk about firearms, the firearms industry
or the rights to carry firearms, it's extremely polarizing," said Wade
Gaughran of Wade's Eastside Guns in Bellevue.

Bar coding bullets sure makes sense to me.
