N.Y. gun database has yet to lead to prosecutions

Still, state police remain committed to the database, saying more time and a long-awaited link to a federal ballistics database could bring success.

I guess New York and Maryland will just have to double to budgets of these programs, because the problem is not the programs, but lack of money.
