Hey I use to live in california and just heard about this crazy microstamping law, did it ever pass or was it made VOID.
Don't get stuck with this nonsense like we did(CNSNews.com) - A gun control group is hailing Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) for introducing legislation that would require gun microstamping in all fifty states.
The National Crime Gun Identification Act, introduced in both the House and Senate on Feb. 7, "will help law enforcement track down armed criminals and solve gun murders," the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said.
The National Rifle Association calls such legislation "incremental gun control."
Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, said microstamping will help police trace guns that are used in crimes. It's "the common sense thing to do," Helmke said in a news release on Monday.
"Last year, California passed a bill to take advantage of this new microstamping technology. Governor Schwarzenegger signed that legislation into law. I want to commend Senator Kennedy and Congressman Becerra for introducing these bills to put this technology to work nationwide," Helmke said.
I would think it would be required for law enforcement.
Or does it stamp the actual bullet
How much will taking a part that is little more than a nail and turning it into a precision stamp with little serial numbers or other identifyign marks change things?if the microstamping is done via the firing pin, how much would that drive up gun prices?
Prior to that happening in Texas, I would hope it would secede from the union. A nation in itself. That has a nice ring to it.
It stamps the bullet. I dont really see how this is a problem unless you plan on actually killing people. If you do, I think gun laws are the least of your problems.
What people need to worrie about is when someone figures out how to change the info that their gun prints. At that point it would be very easy to frame someone.
Another question: how will it affect ammo prices if they also choose to do the one where they stamp it onto the cartridge by a machine instead of by firing pin? We all know they'll be driven up, but by how much?
Actually the proposal is for stamping of the case and primer; it's a load of nonsense - anyone with half a brain and any sort of firearms know how realizes that this is easily defeatable - plus there's no provision for revolvers; this is for semi-autos only. Such a waste of time and money.It stamps the bullet
and the fact that it places another huge burden on business that manufacture the ONE tangible piece of property that is guaranteed by the constitution... yeah i can see no problems at all /sarcasm off
