Re: New publication on ballistic fingerprinting by David Klatzow
Thanks Admin, this looks like an interesting read.
I was quite horrified when Ballistic fingerprinting found its way into the FCA amendment Act. Anyone know what the status is currently? Has this been dropped from the amendments?

Re: New publication on ballistic fingerprinting by David Klatzow
Nobody knows. The Secretary of Police has kept ALL the stakeholders in the dark about what is included in the Bill which is before Parliament. IMHO this is unconstitutional and unlawful as public consultation and stakeholder involvement is supposed to be a Constitutional imperative, but whadda I know...
By launching this report now, a subsequent release of an Amendment Bill containing the ballistic fingerprinting rubbish will be adding fuel to a well-laid fire.
OTOH we (the firearms community) have been warning Parliament of the lack of scientific credibility of ballistic fingerprinting since the Firearm Summit in March 2015, so this utterly and completely vindicates our position, and if the Bill DOES NOT contain the ballistic fingerprinting junk science it will be a massive victory for the firearms community."Always remember to pillage before you burn"

Because they haven't consulted with us it has already gone to Parliament who will release it for public comment prior to it being assented to.
Our point is that a period for public comment can never be 'sufficient consultation', under the circumstances, and this report will aid us greatly in proving that point."Always remember to pillage before you burn"
