Ballistics Fingerprinting Bill Dies In Waning Moments Of Session
| A proposal to study the creation of a ballistics-fingerprinting database for new handguns died in the final hours of Connecticut's 2003 legislative session Wednesday. The Senate approved the measure last week, but the House of Representatives never called the bill for a vote before lawmakers adjourned at midnight. Gun-control advocates argued that a database could help police solve crimes by making it easier to trace guns to their original buyers, but gun rights groups and some forensics experts have questioned whether the technology works. |
