    Abstract: A computer-controlled laser etching probe etches a firearm-identifying indicia such as a barcode encoded serial number into the bore of a firearm. Owner registration data coupled with the serial number is stored in a central database. A computer-controlled scanner reads the barcode from a bullet fired from an etched firearm for comparison with registration data in the central database, thereby identifying the registered owner of the firearm from which the bullet was fired.
