Best Answer

Several different ways. Firing a gun leaves traces of evidence on your skin from the gunpowder and from the primer of the cartridge. Many guns leave markings on the bullet that are unique to that gun (like fingerprints) and the gun makes marks on the fired cartridge from the firing pin and the extractor.

Should gun control be stronger?

Why?, all it does is make buying guns harder for law abiding citizens. If the governemt is trying to lower gun crimes this way, then making gun control stricter IS NOT going to do ANYTHING, since criminals get their guns ILLEGALLY, NOT at gun stores. You can make all the strict laws you want, but criminals arent going to be affected by it, since they don't get guns the way normal law respecting citizens do. The government can ban ALL guns in America, and criminals will still have plenty of guns to murder with, acquired through illegal means.
