Doh!

So California state officials want the public to believe that by forcing manufacturers to install microstamping mechanisms in handguns and laser-etch serial numbers on ammunition, they'll be able to keep track of it all to solve crimes.

Why don't the dolts focus on finding the 30,000 cars they bought on the people's dime and now can't account for?

"Tracking down the data has been difficult... the situation 'was so bad,'...that one government agency had purchased $4 million worth of automobiles but didn't have any record of where it bought them.

"So far the department has determined that California spent $33.6 million on automobile acquisitions in calendar year 2004, but it is still compiling fleetwide data and does not yet know the total value or ongoing costs of the state's fleet."
