I supose this will now prompt criminals to use revolvers instead of semi-autos when they gun someone down.
Not likely. They don't ever catch anybody with it.

The Maryland State Police requested the legislature to stop the "ballistic fingerprint" library program, citing that it had never solved a crime and had only been used after the gun and criminal were in custody, where the same evidence could be obtained without the library.
The Maryland SP wanted to use the men and money for regular police work instead of maintaining a useless library of empty cartridges.
The Maryland legislature kept the program "to send a political message."
