Really doesn't seem practical to me.
1) Gun registered at point of first purchase. Manufacturer keeps ballistic fingerprint, submits copy of same to LEO in jurisdiction of first sale.

2) The Second Amendment does not guarantee the right to cheap guns and ammunition. You bet we could encode bullets. The old joke about bullets being expensive enough to warrant consideration before popping a cap into someone's ass should become true.

I get the idea - but there are a zillion guns out there that wouldn't be registered.

And I don't think the nation will go for horridly expensive ammo.

I'm just not that terribly excited by the "gun problem" I guess - seems overkill to me.

I'm sorry, I have to ask, did you intend the irony here?
