Now, in what surely will be their toughest challenge, the Chester duo are taking on the gun lobby.
Specifically, they want bar codes on bullets as a way of tracking killers and reducing gun violence.
"There are too many unsolved shootings," Funches said. "Take the bullets and trace them back. It will connect people to who bought the ammunition."
I won't debate the wisdom of developing public policy based on the wishes of grandmothers whose granddaughters' are the victims of violent crime.
Rather, I think that firearm rights advocates should embrace this technology without the registration requirements. Let the state enact these laws; let the state embark on a futile boondoggle of paperwork and no results; let the futility of all of this be celebrated.
And let the state start running out of bullets for their guns when no one will comply with their edicts.
And let's ban tobacco while we're at it.
