Did he actually say that?

"New York Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, a Democrat and the chief sponsor of the microstamping legislation on semiautomatic pistols that was last considered by the state’s full Senate in 2010, said she believes Remington’s vow is merely a threat."

I hope the gunmakers leave NY and CT and take EVERY JOB with them.

These freedom-stomping, rights-infringing states don't DESERVE to have such fine gunmakers in their midst.

That would be sad for Connecticut. The Colt tower is a great landmark with a great story:

Microstamp all you want. All it takes is 2 seconds with an emory cloth to undo what the microstamp accomplishes. Do these politicians think that criminals have never heard of either emory cloth, or a dremel tool?

Yhe reason I asked is cause a three year old deaf child has been told by his educators that he can’t point his fingers to “sign” his name.

[JTHomes]

seems like one quick pass with a file could defeat that easily.

When Colt leaves, maybe the dome can go with them so that Hartford can be left to its own devices, and the neighborhood can be unified:

This would be futile with a revolver. You can get 9 and .40 and .45 ACP moon clip revolvers, no shell left behind.

Removing the microstamp might be as illegal as removing the serial number from the receiver.

I have another GREAT idea.

Put the ignition of a car onto the steering column and lock the column so that it can only be used when the key is inserted.

That way we will NEVER have a stolen car ever again!

The Great State of Indiana will welcome Colt and Remington with open arms.

[Cyber Ninja]

allowing authorities to quickly identify the registered guns used in crimes...

Yup.

“It’s unfair of them to resist sensible regulation to save lives.”

That’s ridiculous. This technology wouldn’t save a single life.

Ruger has a manufacturing plant in Prescott, Arizona. It’s nice, in a “right to work” state. Other manufacturers could move here and leave their labor unions back east.

microstamping ignores just one little thing, the only part with a serial number on it is the receiver. All other parts can be mail ordered and easily replaced (E-bay used to be a great place for gun parts, ah for those days to return). I don’t even need a file just a few bucks for the new part and I’m done.

[Domandred]

is a patented process

The company that owns said patent is represented by the same law firm that wrote all the microstamping bills trying to get made into laws.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And who is really behind this law?

The Patent holders. They hope to make millions by forcing gun owners to buy guns using their technology.

[Mack the knife]

Don’t forget that, in order for microstamping to work, you have to compell gun owners to REGISTER their gun, and RE-REGISTER any transfer of ownership.

And, of course, as long as they are compelling registration of those guns, they might as well compell you to register all your other guns as well.
