The anonymity of ammunition is being fought with the proposal of Assembly Bill 352, which, if passed, would require that every semiautomatic handgun sold after January 2009 be equipped with a new microstamping technology that would allow law enforcement officials to link the used bullet cases to the handguns from which they were fired. This new technology would stamp a serial number on to every bullet fired from a particular gun. That number would be linked to the owner of the gun in already existing database of gun owners.

My beeber is stuned again. Twice in one morning. Seriesly!

How in the Hell does the gun stamp the projectile and the cartridge case with a number? "Enquiring minds" want to know! I can envision a way to stamp the case, but that is a simple fix (brass catcher, or a revolver), but the bullet?

Or is this a typical antigun nitwit who does not know a cartridge case from a bullet?

I see you noticed that too.
The casing in 'theory' I guess can be done - with firing pin modifications. But the 'bullet' itself, no way - unless it is done at the factory (which I think has been proposed). So I'm guessing that's why the bill pertains to semi-autos and not revolvers.

And as you say I'm sure the Bill is written by an anti-gun nitwit, or the 'reporter' got it wrong - whose also likely to be an anti-gun nitwit.

WAIT.. I just noticed, it's written by "Michelle", I should have known. It seems to me that every anti gun article is now written by some firearm illiterate female 'reporterette'. I swear it must be a union rule. And they ALWAYS get something wrong, like a shotgun turning into an AK-47.
