Or you can get reloads made from range scrap.

Or you can use a revolver.

Or you can use one of a bazillion other techniques to make sure that the DNA trail leads to someone else.

The fact that they support themselves by methods outside of the bounds of the law does not prima facie guarantee they're too stupid do defeat this "new" technique.

DNA has been ascribed near mythical infallibility.....like fingerprints. BOTH
are subject to error and subjectivity. Add in prosecutorial misconduct and you
have a recipe for innocent people being railroaded into prison by use of erroneous
forensic evidence.

Add the conditioning of the jury pool by shows like CSI...
