Corrected entry: The central computer explains that the DNA is imprinted onto the bullets by direct skin contact. However, all judges use long-sleeve uniforms and gloves, so there is no skin-gun contact.

Other mistake: Dredd tells Judge Hershey that lethal range for bullets is 300 meters "you're safe" straight after people were being shot and wounded on the ground at that distance.

Suggested correction: Wounded, but not dead. He says they aren't lethal, he doesn't say they can't hit you though. His logic is that they can't be killed by the bullets so therefore they are safe.
Presumably the Judges also have body armour which will protect from extreme range and hence lower power bullets, which civilians wouldn't have.
This. That statement about how it would be lethal even though they're 300 meters away always bugged me (on multiple sites), of course it might be injurious or even lethal to civilians, but I'd expect that Judges would wear armor that would protect them.
They were shot dead, extremely obviously. Huge holes in the stomach.

Correction: They could load the bullets into the clips with bare hands at home. Cops really do pull prints off the unfired bullets in recovered guns.
Or, there is a DNA sensor in the grip that doesn't require direct contact, I mean it is 2139, almost 150 years from when the movie was made, technology has obviously continued to progress.
