Hey, that is Chris Rock's idea. If a bullet was $5000, there'd probably be a damn good reason for most gun murders - and a short list of suspects.

Half a cent per bullet wouldn't be quite enough for Rock's purposes, though...

Never mind the question about where you're going to put the serial number. If they actually put it on the lead, it's certainly not going to be readable after firing.

I'd put it on the back of the bullet, where it would be concealed in the cartridge, and slightly more difficult to file off. I'm sure they'd be able to design it to survive firing.

I'd hope so, even if it doesn't happen for non-law-enforcement.
