License plates on cars were supposed to end crime associated with the automobile. The serial numbering of all guns by the manufacturers and the registration of all those numbers with the federal government was supposed to make it impossible to use a gun in a crime and get away with it, since every gun found at a crime scene would be traceable to its owner. Is that why no one ever gets shot in Chicago? Oh, I forgot, no one even owns a handgun in Chicago.
Bloomberg’s idiot idea that a super-duper, secret, hidden serial number is going to solve any social problem at all, is an idea that’s destined to fail, but it’s supposed to fail. That failure will provide the rationale for more laws. It’s not supposed to work; it’s supposed to work to demonstrate the need for more restrictions, and when it “fails” that’s how it will be used by Bloomberg.

We will be safe, once and for all, after we have been forcibly stripped of the best means of defending ourselves. Geez! Don’t you guys know anything?
