Serial pin-numbering, or coding of bullets, bullet casings and other projectiles as an improvement for the use of ammunition

Abstract

The invention of serially, pin-numbering, or.coding of bullets, bullet casings, and other projectiles on their bodies, with information such as the name of ammo maker; country of origin; type of gun; and abbreviation of the Government Agency, whose responsibility would be to register firearms, issue licenses, and maintain a database track records of firearms and ammunition sold by the ammo shops in the country, is a new art in the use of firearms and ammunition and management to trace firearms crime offenders. The invention makes ammunition the prime tracing point for any firearms crime related offence, rather than guns which have been the traditional core tracing point for firearms crime investigations. Since the bullet does the killing or wounding when a firearm is fired at someone, by introducing my invention, it would become easier, quicker, and accurate to trace and arrest actual firearms crime offenders, by the. records of ammunition used in the committing of crimes; with ammo owners as prime suspect to provide clues leading to crime offenders. This mechanism saves much time, reduces efforts, materials, funds, and threats of crimes on the people. The idea of the return of empty bullet casings with firearms use incident reports by firearms carriers to the Agency, and the introduction of “Firearms Use Oversight Responsibility” and “Firearms Use Oversight Tax” are new in the management of firearms and ammunition use.

8 . My thought of stamping, or printing of serial pin-numbers, or codes on bullets, bullet casings and on other projectiles, with the names of the makers; the countries of origin; the abbreviations of the governments' agencies whose responsibility would be to register firearms, issue their licenses and maintain track records of the purchased firearms and bullets from the authorized firearms and ammunition distributors and shops would be the quickest and most effective mechanism to accurately, trace firearms crime offenders and to prevent firearms crimes; with this mechanism never been known, or used before in the history of firearms use in the world.  
   
   
       7 . The support structures of this mechanism (Bureau of Federal Firearms and Ammunition Standards and Specifications; 
 Bureau of Fedral Firearms Registration; the authorized firearms and ammunition distributors and shops; and the Law Enforcement Agencies), with each having specific roles to play within the link framework, would offer the best approach to effectively, control the use of firearms and ammunition and fight firearms related crimes; with this system never been tried before.    
   
   
       6 . By packaging the serially, pin-numbered, or coded bullets in a set of five bullets, or more as would be prescribed by Law, in one pack with a transparent cover, visible for firearms carriers to see the bullets' serial pin-numbers, or codes of the bullets they are paying and signing for, would be the best approach to limit the. use and unlawful trafficking of ammunition; and with each bullet accounted for.  
   
   
       5 . My thought of stamping, or printing on the external bodies of bullet casings the abbreviations of the supposed governments' agencies, whose responsibility would be to register firearms, issue their licenses and maintain track records of firearms and ammunition sold to firearms carriers, supported by the Government's legislation which makes bullet casings the properties of the agencies; and also compelling by Law that firearms carriers return their empty bullet casings to the agencies, has not been perceived before.  
   
   
       4 . Firearms carriers by Law would be compelled to send to the firearms agencies their respective incident reports as soon as the bullets in their possession were used; and periodically, report to the agencies in writing on the true position of the firearms and ammunition in their hands as the Law would prescribe, and must not wait on the Law Enforcement to look for them.  
   
   
       3 . Firearms carriers would maintain tabs with the agencies and share punishment with individuals who used their firearms and ammunition to commit crimes.  
   
   
       2 . Firearms Use Oversight Tax has not been introduced before, which would raise revenues from firearms carriers to support financially, the services of the agency to firearms carriers rather than expending the taxpayers money to fund the choice of the few.  
   
   
       1 . Involving the United Nations to promote, and implement this mechanism in every country of the world, and by it setting up an organ within, or outside it's structure to undertake this responsibility, that would work in collaboration with national governments to control the production, marketization, management and use of firearms inorder to effectively, check on the illegal trade and use of firearms and ammunition to fight domestic firearms crimes and terrorism on the global perspective has not been tried before.
