Quote:
There have been other methods to permanently identify humans. During the holocaust, the Nazis tattooed the arms of Jews with a unique identifying number. On an episode of the "X-FILES," a fictional television program on the FOX television network, a human was abducted by aliens who conducted experiments on the abductee. In order to permanently tag the abductee, the aliens etched a unique bar code onto one of the abductee's teeth. Neither of these methods is practical for marking humans for electronic sale transaction purposes. First, social conscience dictates that any permanent marking of humans not be conspicuous, such as a visible numbering on an arm like the holocaust victims. Second, the bar code must be long enough, large enough, and accessible enough to make the transaction efficient. Thus bar codes on teeth would not be practical because of the limited size of the teeth and the embarrassment caused by sales personnel placing scanning equipment in a customer's mouth.

Who in their right mind would even possibly think this is a good idea?!?!

Huh? Firing pins on most handguns can be replaced in about 10 min. Filing off the surface of the pin is easy and will cause no problems with operation of the gun. Multiple backup systems? What is he talking about?

It's called "marketing."

He knows that's BS. He doesn't care.

I still dream the manufacturers will get together and say, "It's not worth the hassle. No one in CA gets a gun. That includes the cops. Goodbye."

But it only takes one sellout.

The BEAST?

Attention citizens:

When carrying a gun, you must also wear back and knee braces that prevent you from bending over and picking up spent casings that can be matched to a specific gun. It's for your own safety, those casings may burn your fingers. You don't need to pick them up, anyway. Specially designed Roombas will patrol the streets and alleys picking up these hazardous brass baby killers for you. Yes, we said baby killers; we're doing this for the children too. An estimated FIVE children die per year from swallowing spent casings. Even a baby elephant died when it mistook a shotgun shell for a peanut. Those maniacal gun owners don't realize that the danger begins when the shooting stops--only the police truly understand firearms.

Have a great day, and be sure to visit www.pfizer.com if talk about firearms makes you anxious or gassy. Also tune in to big media for high-profit 'reality' show #157. Thank you!

Coming soon to California:

We must ban revolvers that maintain a design flaw which allows fired brass to remain within the revolvers cycliner. What we must have are revolvers equiped with an ejection chamber so that the gun's microstamped bullet casing can be ejected. Then in the event the firearm is illigally discharged the used casing left behind will be capable of tracing the bullet fired back to the gun and its owner. We need this imediately..... FOR THE CHILDREN!!!

Nope - it'll go something like this:

Now that we have the micro stamping, obviously guns that don't have it are a danger to the public, so all guns without it are now illegal.

Hey, you still can buy the ones with the micro-stamping, we're not banning all guns, just the dangerous ones!​

Note to self

When TEOTWAWKI happens I need to stash ammo in the chambers of my guns. Clever!
