Albany will pass microstamping this year

[gunpoliticsny]

The legislature is going to pass microstamping this session. Both sponsors are talking it up.



It will prevent the sales of all new handguns if it goes into effect.

2+2=5

Seriously, fuck these people.

Police up your brass. WTF?

HOW DOES MICROSTAMPING TECHNOLOGY WORK?​

Microstamping technology uses lasers to imprint unique markings onto the tip of a firing pin and/or breech face of a firearm. These markings include specific information about the gun, much like a serial number. This information is then stamped onto the bullet casings, so when the gun is fired, law enforcement can connect the bullets to the identifying information about the gun.
Microstamping technology will enable law enforcement to match bullet cartridges found at crime scenes directly to the gun that fired them, similar to the way law enforcement can use an automobile’s license plate to identify the vehicle’s make, model, VIN, and registered owner.

The price of average firing pin is around $5. They can also be polished.

Bet it works great with revolvers.

A $5 solution to a million dollar problem

Microstamping cannot work because both the firing pin and cartridge are moving and strike each other multiple times at slightly different places resulting in a smeared stamp.

Maybe it's time I got that P229 before this bullshit goes into place.

"Microstamping is one of the most powerful tools we can provide law enforcement to stop crime & gun violence. "

So, If I'm reading this correctly, if I own a gun that microstamps the brass, and it's stolen, the thief won't be able to kill anyone with it because the microstamp will 'stop crime & gun violence'?

I kind of wish I had a twitter account so I could reply with that sentence.

EDIT: Anyone who has a twitter account is welcome to plagiarize my statement.

Don't waste your breath. The only way these people will stop hurting good gun-owning voters, for the purpose of pandering points with their base, is if we smarten up about our approach to combating them. We cannot beat them toe to toe on spending. We cannot out vote them anytime soon either. However, it doesn't mean we have to make their lives painless either within the legal realm of possibility. It doesn't mean we can't take steps to embolden our own lives and those who oppose unconstitutional policies such as these.

These are interesting times that call for those willing to iterate.

That means being part of the Democrat party constituency, going to their events and participating in their elections.

Time to start inviting the Dem candidates to your gun clubs to speak on how they will protect the 2A.

I mean we have enough RINOs that we might as well be DINOs at this point.

Problem solved or will these be "illegal" too?

 

[Saltwater60]

There won’t be a gun sold in NYS. They won’t make microstamped guns or firing pins for one state. Will this be a violation of our rights or is there enough guns in nys already and scotus will punt again?

 

[Catskillkid]

Does California have something like this? Isn't that why they have a list of guns you can buy (basically pre-ban legislation)? That's why you can still get third generation Glocks, because later models came after the legislation was enacted. I could be wrong about this.

 

[Hillbilly77]

Remember the stupid CoBIS bullshit that this state wasted MILLIONS of dollars on? (Sources say more than $45 Million.)
Over almost a decade, they collected hundreds of thousands of fired casings from handguns sold in the state. The system only ever resulted in 2 "hits" and solved zero murders.

But I'm sure microstamping will be better.

 

[ProgSpear]

Yep. CoBIS was a real wiener.

The criminals are really quaking this time.

I wonder how the microstamping thing can be considered constitutional? You know, that “shall not be infringed” thing.

Maybe JuShaun will be the new FFL? No NICS or nothing? That’ll work well.

 

[dwa12479]

Ok, so we're gonna do all this work and spend all this money to catch these perps, but you're just going to turn them loose on their own recognizance with an appearance ticket anyway. 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. Morons.

So this never resolved a single crime but they want the program back?
