Why is the hate crime increasing instead of decreasing?

How can you trace a criminal by a bullet?
When a bullet is fired from a rifled firearm, the rifling leaves marks on the bullet. Those marks are unique to that gun, and no other gun makes exactly the same marks.

A comparison microscope is used to compare the bullets, or marks made on the fired cartridge case by the extractor and firing pin.
