I have not been printed for a handgun license (to purchase) yet, but will have to do so in MD before October.
But I have taken prints as a deputy sheriff and been printed literally dozens of times as part of getting/keeping a security clearance, and the fact is that many police have no idea how to take good prints, but that doesn't stop them from trying. The last time I went through the process, I had to just tell the woman officer to stop trying (after ruining a half dozen cards) and let me do it. I took my own and they were fine.
The whole fingerprint thing for a gun purchase is racist and has about zero to do with crime or straw purchases. The purpose is to discourage blacks from buying guns, since the white power structure and their black toadies think most blacks will forego a right rather than interface with "the man". Or that blacks' applications can be messed up or denied on spurious grounds until they give up. It is just a variation of the old poll tax and literacy requirement.
