    Even in the best of circumstances, ballistic matching is bunk science used to secure confessions. When the bullet is mangled, nobody is going to take the stand as an expert witness and say “yeah that came from this gun.”

      Yep, everyone that thinks this is some huge deal doesn’t just not understand guns, they don’t have a basic understanding of physics or even basic critical thinking…

      It means absolutely nothing either way, but there’s a lot of shit that does make it look shady.

        Not true. CSI taught me that you can make a phone photo and then do an enhance enhance ENHANCE and you will instantly see the shooter’s dna and birth certificate.
