That way, they could solve EVERY crime. After all, if you're not a criminal, you don't have anything to worry about. I think the government should create a database of everyone’s DNA.

All you need to do is take DNA from anybody committing a felony........

Quite the contrary, it will need to be expanded, maybe to require annual renewal of the fingerprint. Just drop off your guns at the nearest police station, and when we get the new sample, we'll notify you to come pick them up. Make sure all your papers are in order when you arrive.

Heck, now that I think about it, that seems to be how a lot of government programs grow: it's not working! Let's expand it!
