Gun registration is the effective equivalent of gun confiscation.
How long would it take any idiot with a file to destroy the micro-stamp.
I realize manufacturers have a long history in New York and other New England states, but they should really smell the sulpher in the air up there and try to get out. I think it’s no surprise when Colt decided to build a new facility, it isn’t anywhere near New York..........It’s in Florida.
Yep ask those NYC citizens who registered their semiauto rifles in NYC in 1976 with the pledge that "It would never be used for confiscation." Fast forward to 1991 when NYC passed a law that all registered semiautos had to be gotten rid of out of state, rendered inoperable by a gunsmith with a certification to that effect or turned in to the police by a specific date. Most NYers complied like the government worshipping sheep that they are. A few did not (about 40) The police (those stalwart champions of the Bill of Rights) raided all 40+. Of the 40+ all but a handfull were paperwork snafus ie gun had been sold or transferred out of state (government messes up your paperwork get a raid from the gun gestapo). A little over 1/2 a dozen were actually in violation of NYC's unconstitutional law. They were arrested and their guns confiscated. Not many? How many violations of the Bill of Rights does it take to define a tyranny?
Microstamping has only one real purpose, to run the cost of a gun higher than people can pay.
Or spare parts takes just a few minutes to change out a fireing pin. Or hit the tip with a file.
But look how successful gun control has been?
Where the tightest gun control is, Chicago, South Central LA, and NYC, all gun crime free now,,, right? Better on average than the rest of the country,,,right?
Police your brass.
The left continues to prove its methods are untrustworthy and loaded with future intentions/motivations. I trust nothing they advocate. If they claimed breathing air was good, I would be suspect of their intentions.
If the gunmakers would take a stand, this would end overnight.
Simply refuse to service or sell to any governmental agencies in states where such draconian laws are passed, ala Ronnie Barrett in California.
If manufacturers are currently enjoying record sales, now would be the time to do it to minimize the damage to their bottom line as much as possible.
If the local SWAT teams can’t get the shiniest new toys, they’d turn up the pressure on their legislatures to do something.
It seems to me that there’s a fair case to be made that this interferes with interstate commerce - one or a few states demanding something from manufacturers that, due to the nature of efficient manufacturing, effectively mandates that “something” in all states. I don’t think that NY or any other state has the authority to effectively mandate ANYTHING in another state, especially when such increases costs for those (consumers) who have no connection with NY, et al. Such commerce-damaging legislation was the impetus behind the junking of the Articles of Confederation and the adoption of the Constitution.
C’mon, any Commerce Clause experts out there who care to comment?
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
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.
