How hard would it be to Dremmel the microstamp off the pin?

Or to obliterate it with a dab of hard silver solder...

About 1 or 2 dozen rounds through it has, IIRC, been proven to remove it. Just moron politicians placating idiot voters, nothing to see here, move along...

"This is a tough-on-crime, smart-on-crime proposal," said Sen. Eric Schneiderman, D-New York City Translation: "when my stupid idea doesn't accomplish anything demonstrably productive, I'll get even more meaningless laws passed so that stupid Obama-voters will vote me back into office."

For this to be effective, first we must ban these.

The company pushing this has the sole patent for this technology.
Expect at least $100 cost (and price) additions for each firearm with this technology, for research, development, testing and manufacturing costs.

Not very, but there’s no need to do even that when the microstamp isn’t registered to you but to the person you stole it from. Or more likely, isn’t registered at all because it was originally stolen in another state without this requirement.
Being more creative, how hard would it be to pick up microstamped brass at a public range and drop it at the crime scene?

Liberalism is a mental desease and gun-grabbing is a cult.

How about just replace the firing pin? They’re usually pretty common replacement parts for any firearm.

Handgun manufacturers will simply quit selling firearms in NY. A lot of them already have. I just hope that they decide to not sell to LEOs in NY as well.

I'm sure there will be a strongly worded clause in the finished law that will prevent anyone from tampering with the micro-stamping.

You could always just pick up your brass or use a revolver so the casings won’t eject until you want them to. It’s really a stupid idea if anyone just thinks about it. Then again, we’re talking about legislators.

File meet firing pin.
If I were inclined to preplanned criminal activity and I owned a weapon covered under this proposed law, you can bet I’d have the semiautomatic pistol equivalent of keeping two sets of books: multiple barrels, firing pins and extractors. One set for storage and one set for “business.”

Schimel and Schneiderman. I’m continually amazed, though no longer surprised, that the demographic that was nearly made extinct by state murder is always the one crying the loudest to make the next round of state murder easier.

"Or to replace the firing pin." Even if they "microstamped" spare parts, firing pins would have to be about the very easiest piece of any weapon for a shade-tree machinist to replicate, if not mass produce. There may be a few weapons with inertial pins or some other manufacturing complications, but I doubt it's that many...
