Recently a ammo bill went through Albany which mandates that all ammo be micro stamped. A bill that does nothing but increase the cost of ammo and hinders people's ability to own firearms.
New York Microstamping Votes
I can't say that I am surprised. As far as some of those politicians are concerned the constitution is toilet paper.
WTF is this psycho hitlist bull**** lackey vs patriot? I'm glad national security crawls the internet for this ****.
A business has been pushing this, just so they can cash in on the micro stamping technology.
If there were not any politicians trying to wipe their ass with the 2nd amendment then no company would be able to push for laws requiring micro-stamping. These anti-2nd amendment loons see this as a way to further restrict the 2nd amendment rights of honest law abiding citizens.
Getting around that technology is so ludicrously easy, these things only exist to make it more expensive for the law abiding shooter.
Not to mention that they have to watch their shell casings, criminals could steal them and frame a person.
A casing at the crime does not in any shape or form prove who fired the weapon and that casings are recycled. Which even makes the law more absurd.

In order for bullet microstamping to work, a weapon must be fitted with a special firing pin which has been etched with a unique serial number. When the gun is fired, the firing pin strikes the casing of the bullet, marking it with the serial number. While the microstamp is generally too small to read with the naked eye, it can be identified on a microscope, allowing investigators to cross-reference the serial number with a database of registered weapons.
If you actually did some research you would know your comments were actually quite stupid.. .
The stamping occurs when the bullet is fired..
The modification is to the gun.
Doesn't the microstamp strike the casing?It is amazing what you all will complain about on a forum.. Yet know absolutely nothing about it.. So go ahead and recycle your casings.
The microstamping does not prevent crime nor is a casing evidence you fired a gun.. It won't matter at all.. There is nothing wrong with this law and everyone should support it
It does not make catching criminals easier.If it is something that can make catching murderers and criminals a little easier,
then what is wrong with it?
No, it isn't fool proof.. But if the two of you weren't smart enough to look up what microstamping is and how it works.. Then most likely criminals won't look it up either..

You sound like the same kind of person who supports putting signs on doors at places like Starbucks and Target saying that guns are not permitted, and being falsely confident that criminals would never bring a gun in the store and break the law. :roll:
If a person is going to use a firearm to commit a crime only the dumbest of the dumb would use traceable firearms and ammunition. In addition, there are like a bazillion firearms in public now. Retrofit them? I don't think that is viable.
The law is ridiculous. Beyond stupid. How is that going to work with people who hand load? How about buying ammo from other states? What is the law supposed to accomplish? Prevent crime? Hardly. I don't understand the reasoning behind it.
From Wiki:
Firearm microstamping, ballistic imprinting and ballistic engraving are all names given to a controversial[1] technology that has been developed with the goal of aiding in ballistics identification; it involves the use of laser technology to engrave a microscopic marking onto the tip of the firing pin and onto the breech face of a firearm. When the firearm is fired, these etchings are transferred to the primer by the firing pin and to the cartridge case by the breech face, using the pressure created when a round is fired. After the spent cartridges are ejected, these microscopic markings are imprinted on the cartridges, which can then be recovered by police and examined by forensic ballistics experts to obtain information to be used to trace the firearm through its life to the registered owner.[2] This technology will be required in California starting in 2010, however, law enforcement is specifically exempt.[3]
The Mayor sees no valid reason why law enforcement should be held exempt from this law. Nothing better to find out which idiot Thug-With-A-Badge fired which shots where, right? Isn't this a law about accountability?
Clearly, since the police oppose it for themselves, it should not be applied at all.
Also, anyone besides the most devoted idiot beleive that a micro-etched stamp won't fade with time? Any law-abiding citizen firing off a few boxes at the range will have his factory imposed microstamping erased.
Since California isn't going to ban files, whetstones, Dremel-tools, sand paper, sand, rocks, etc, no criminal, not, not one single criminal, will be arrested or convicted on the basis of this ridiculous microstamping requirement.
Clearly the only thing this law is good for is the occasional snagging of a citizen defending his home, and the imposition of yet another financial barrier to the ownership of guns, as explicitly prohibited by the Second Amendment.
If the cops don't have to comply with the law, neither should anyone else.

All someone has to do is disassemble the gun, file the firing pin down, reassemble and it was all for naught.
Not only that but they can contaminate the scene with shell casings from another, lawful owner.
Habitual criminals don't want to be caught, they will take the path of least resistance, which includes the incredibly easy way to not be identified by filing off the micro stamp from the pin.
How does this change the fact a casing does not prove who fired fired the weapon?
So in other words the tip of the firing pin or where ever the microstamp is can be easily filed off.
It is a modification to the firing pin which can easily be replaced.
Doesn't the microstamp strike the casing?
The microstamping does not prevent crime nor is a casing evidence you fired a gun.
It does not make catching criminals easier.
1.Because a shell casing left at a crime scene does not in any shape or form prove who fired the gun.
2.A finger print on the casing does not even prove you loaded it into the magazine or cylinder.
3.If criminals were actually worried they will just file the numbers off.
Whats wrong with it is that it is designed to increase the price of firearms and a backdoor registry. It will not solve or prevent crimes.
Just like criminals get gun permits and register their firearms before using them to commit a crime that they do not want anyone finding out about? How many crimes have been prevented or solved using the firearm registries in states that require you to register your firearms? How many firearm registries in the world have have been used to prevent or solve crimes?
