nti-liberty/gun cracktivists find themselves stuck on recycling old, failed narratives because there is really nothing new in the distortions and lies they tell in trying to obliterate the Second Amendment. Among those failed narratives is microstamping, a nonsensical measure about which I last wrote in Microstamping And Zombies, 2024 in June of 2024 at my home blog.
Microstamping is laser engraving a unique, identifying code on the tips of firing pins which will “stamp” that code—letters, numbers, etc—on the primers of fired cases. Some microstamping schemes also demand a second stamp elsewhere on a fired case.
California has always been a leader in unconstitutional, impractical, impossible and stupid anti-liberty/gun legislation, but as Tom Knighton at Bearing Arms notes, Illinois isn’t far behind:
Democrat officials in Illinois have long taken unabashed pride in the abridgement of Second Amendment rights, and their latest attempt at “bullet control” is again making headlines. While to many it may appear to be a new frontier for gun control, it is in fact a recycled gun control scheme that appears shiny and new among the onslaught of gun bans and hardware prohibitions in the states.
Illinois HB4414, the Ammo Registration Act, would require that “all handgun ammunition that is manufactured, imported into the State for sale or personal use, kept for sale, offered or exposed for sale, sold, given, lent, or possessed shall be serialized” by January 1, 2027. Additionally, the bill requires each round of ammunition to be tracked and included in a government registry maintained by the Illinois State Police. Of course, to accommodate and fund this onerous new system, a tax of up to five cents per round would be added to ammunition purchases.
But wouldn’t microstamping and serialization help catch criminals? No. In all my years in police

Most criminals use stolen guns. How would microstamping help find them?
Glad I compiled my arsenal as a young woman and also ‘inherited’ a few pieces from my Dad.
These Anti-2A nuts are relentless!
And so starts a new underground industry providing replacement firing pins.
Get your Revolver Rifle now before the Anti-Gun Nuts discover they exist
No need. 2 minutes with a Dremel tool and some rouge from Amazon should do it. The BS is the cost of producing the stamps.
Next, they’ll want time & date stamps on the pin produced by the gun.
I believe micro stamping was tried a few decades back and failed. After so many rounds the stamp was obliterated.
The same government that could not track billions in taxpayer money that was scammed from them by low IQ illegal aliens,
other scammers and criminals wants us to believe they can accurately track trillions of rounds of ammunition!
So, they gonna ban revolvers first?
Ammo serialization , the anti-gun nuts are always coming with some kind of gibberish
Can’t have a New World Order without disarming
the populace and getting them to believe in
Outrageous LIES
I should be on The Nut-Job Conspiracy Ping List!!

Your Freedoms are going to be a thing of the past
Very few understand what is coming
And IT IS COMING
As uaual it’s really about grabbinbg more power and money - not about safety or accountability.
I bet that wouldn’t last 10 rounds on the head of a firing pin. This just goes to show how much those idiots don’t know about guns. I just let ‘em rant and rave about idiotic crap like this. It’s a waste of their time thinking about such stupidity.
I’m glad I’m old.
Old enough to remember when.
Old enough to not accept ‘change’.
Not too old to uphold the oath I took in my youth.
The SCOTUS needs to rule that all gun control laws are unconstitutional.
To Old to Fight or Run
But Still a Pretty Good Shot.

Serialized ammo? Unless Indiana plays along, Illinois is wasting its time.
