Our city has received a $500K+ Federal grant for the purpose of registering fired cases to their respective guns/owners.
The cover story is; "this will better help in matching STOLEN guns to crimes, while enabling us to return these guns to their owners".
Call me cynical; I will rot in HELL before I bring fired cases from my firearms to the authorities.
I can picture walking into the Police Station with a pillow case full of fired cases....... Right.
Curious what your thoughts are.

Sounds like they are trying to disguise a gun registration program.

Of course, then you have to tell them that you have either sold had the gun stolen, or else they go breach, boom, bang on your sleeping ass when the shell cases are traced back to your gun.

While I realized that most guns that are stolen from law abiding citizens are not able to be returned because the original owner failed to keep a record of their serial numbers, I don't see any department actually allotting funding to do forensic tests on firearms to get them back to their owners. Owners need to take responsibility of keeping track of their stuff. In our state, getting a gun back if you have reported it stolen and have the serial number is a fairly efficient process still.
I don't know where the rest of the LEO world is at, but Alaska alone has a backlog of 3,500 rape kits yet to be tested, they aren't popping staff loose to test guns unless it's needed for a felony committed with that gun.

Wasn't this tried at the state level back East and was eventually stopped because it was too resource intensive and yielded few leads?
