***How long would it take any idiot with a file to destroy the micro-stamp.***

Idiots use files. Smart people use emery cloth or valve lapping compound.

Disassemble. Take the firing pin and spin the tip on a piece of fine emery cloth. Reassemble. Done.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Just use a revolver.

[Syntyr]

Pick up some various .45 brass from a range session or two. Then use a .45 revolver and throw out a handful of range
brass. That should keep em busy for a while...

Or just steal a gun and use it...

Or get a spare firing pin, do the crime, and then put the original firing pin back in. It wasn’t me...

These people are idiots

If the local SWAT teams can’t get the shiniest new toys, they’d turn up the pressure on their legislatures to do something.

What makes you think they wouldn't just exempt themselves from the law, the same way they do with most other laws?

[FLAMING DEATH]

It’s not a matter of the law. It’s a matter of free enterprise; whether or not companies are willing to sell to them or not.

Gun companies should adopt a policy of not selling or servicing municipalities within gun hostile states that pass ridiculous laws that increase manufacturing costs and eliminate markets by making their products illegal.

When the withdrawal of gun makers from these markets actually started making things difficult for law enforcement to get the “tools” they think they need, they’d ask the legislatures to do something. And, it’s not like a government in NY can pass a law that a gun manufacturer in another state has to do business with them.

In other words, all gun manufacturers should give the Barrett treatment to those states who try to destroy their business: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/836082/posts

I’d be happy starting with NY, CA, and IL.

Many people have already documented the myriad of ways such foolish legislation might be defeated and also made note of the fact that micro-stamping fails to create a reliably readable impression on a significant number of shell cases. And also: that a large number of gun crimes involve revolvers.

But it is important to remember, as with all gun laws, the purpose is not to stop crime, but to eliminate guns.

The object of gun control is never the criminal, my friends: it is you.
