    Is this a trend now? Who inscribes bullets? This seems a little too, “We need to really spell out the motive to people so they know exactly what to think about this.”.

    I’m kinda curious now how you even go about inscribing a bullet. I feel like a hand tool would just not really produce a legible result, and I’ve never really even heard of a machine for it. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but really rare to see and kinda weird that the last two high profile shootings had inscribed bullets to really drive home the point.

      Hand engravers (sharp tip with a vibrator attached) are pretty effective and easy to use on soft materials, and also on harder materials if you’re patient (on harder materials you have to go over the marking multiple times to get it deep enough for legibility).

      But latest word is in this instance the engraving thing was a misunderstanding
