BALLISTICS "FINGERPRINTING" SYSTEM
N368045 01: U.S. Rep. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) sits in front of a poster of a 9mm Stallard handgun, April 20, 2000 at a news conference at the Illinois State Police crime laboratory in Chicago. On the first anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings, Illinois Gov. George Ryan along with Blagojevich tried to rally support for a bill that creates a national ballistics "fingerprinting" system of every gun manufactured in the United States. The bill calls for a national database of gun characteristics so that police can easily identify the source of a gun when bullets and cartridges are found at crime scenes.
