One thing that all guns have in common is they all use ammunition. We monitor Sudafed better than ammunition. We need to monitor the consumables. If we could trace every round from manufacture to end user we would know who bought the bullets for a drive by or just about any gun crime. The cartridges left in the field by the hunter does not matter, neither the cartridges left at a shooting range. Only the unsafe shooter would be concerned. Marking each cartridge with a barcode or similar would not be cost prohibitive and we could find any unsafe shooter. Removing the coding would make the round faulty. This could address the 95% of gun crimes not committed with an assault rifle. This would be an additional tool that law enforcement can use.
