There’s a video before the NY state senate, where a firearm industry representative replaces every micro-stamped part of a pistol in less than a minute.
Barrel, firing pin, etc.

And hopefully they’ll do in the same way that Ronnie Barrett did when the LAPD used one of his 50 caliber rifles as a prop for getting the 50-caliber ban passed in CA :D

"How hard would it be to Dremmel the microstamp off the pin?"
EXACTLY . . how long do they think it will take before the bad guys figure that one out? Or how to use it in giving them an alibi?

How about just replace the firing pin? Theyre usually pretty common replacement parts for any firearm. The legislation probably has a provision that make it an offense to possess a gun which does not have an operational micro-stamping ability. This then turns into a way to convict a legal gun owner who defended himself with a gun whose microstamping had worn away.

They’ll pass a law requiring that revolvers be left at the scene of the crime.

You hit the salient point in all of this. For this scheme to work (solve crimes) the govt. has to know who actually owns the gun. That requires registration does it not? Camel’s nose under the tent.

Wonder how much these guys got greased by the sole technology provider?

This is intended to staft you, not criminals.
So the question isn’t how it effects criminals, it’s how does it effect you.
Just one more requirement to make gun ownership a hassle is my guess.

Just take the firing pin and stroke it on a piece of emery cloth. Works wonders. and the breach face can be cleaned of microstamps the same way.

Maybe they should put amendment on the bill making crime illegal!! Criminals won't want to break the law robbing banks or killing people. Then crime will just go away, and the sky will fill with rainbows and unicorns...Just like uncle Obie promised!!

Knock Knock. Mr Yokel, this is the police. You’re under arrest for accessory to 1st degree murder. You allowed your handgun to be stolen.

Yep, just another way to hassle legal gun owners and manufacturers. Criminals won’t be affected one bit.
I hope the idiot company that is pushing this micro-stamping idea on state governments loses every cent they have.

How much you wanna bet that the doofusses that are in favor of this think that this will somehow mark the actual projectile?
Remember, these laws are proposed by idiots who know nothing about guns.

To: thefactor
why would you hope that?
If it's not allowed to the plebes, it shouldn't be allowed to the government. That's why when after CA banned 50-cal rifles and then the LAPD sent a Barret 50 cal back to Murfreesboro, TN for service, Mr Ronnie Barrett canceled the LAPD's contract, sent the rifle back untouched, and told them to go straight down to hell. I wish all gun manufacturers would do that. Certainly, if I owned a company that made firearms, I would not sell them to any government agency that wasn't subject to the same laws as the populace.
