I think you don't think at all, fool. I've got bigger concerns than what you might think about making your job easier
Our nation would be helped a lot more by stamping and tracking Leftists. Better yet, why not set up registration so we can own them. These people are enemies of the state, pure and simple.
1. They loathe our Constitution
2. They loathe Christian morals
3. They loathe our Founding Fathers
4. They loathe our system of governance and want to replace it with that of the old U. S. S. R.
5. They even open talk about killing Conservative politicians
6. Some of them are terrorists, or actually ‘understand’ why terrorists do what they do
Lots of ways for criminals to negate this:
Police your brass
Use a revolver
Have a brass catch bag attached to the ejector port
Dremel the # off
to say nothing of:
Knives,
Swords,
Baseball bats
Bricks
Chains
Spears
Arrows
Axes
Etc, etc, etc...
“But what if a shell casing picked up at a murder scene could immediately be tracked to the gun that fired it?”
Shell casings aren’t ejected by revolvers, and microstamping is easily defeated by emery cloth or a fingernail file...
Any other concerns they have before they further inconvenience me with their prattle?
How long would it take to erase said microstamping from the firing pin with a piece of crocus cloth? Anybody who thinks a criminal wouldn’t do it when most of their weapons are illegal already is smoking something.
From the article:
“Mr. Keane and other opponents point to two early studies finding that the full numeric code could be read only about half the time on shell casings. In addition, they say, criminals could file off the code or replace the firing pin. And the technology would not apply to revolvers, which do not discharge cartridge casings.”
It would take about 5 seconds to file the tip of the firing pin. Or you could replace it...cheap - about $7 at Midway.com.
“Identifying the firearm used in a crime is one of the biggest challenges for criminal investigators”
Why do they think I care that cops wish their jobs were easier? They’ve never run a series of stories about how I want a law that says I only have to come in four days a week.
.
The term "casing" refers to sausage "casings."

Second, these morons should understand that using a revolver does not eject brass, and it only takes a few seconds to file off the firing pin micro-stamp.
Us-against-them control freaks are getting crazier, as the debt regime slides on. They can microstamp my __, but it won’t give them any kind of edge. They and their other bipartisan, socialist friends have much to hide, and many of their immoral activities are being seen now.
said Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld III of the Baltimore Police Department. “I just can’t comprehend the opposition to it.”
Hitler & that other Socialist party did but they rammed it through anyway.
Another example of hyped incompetent ideas by incompetent reporters that are probably told by Bloomberg and the anti-gun cabal how and what to say.
I do agree that the first adopters of this foolish concept should be law enforcement as a pilot program.
This scheme identifies only a casing at a scene that in reality could be salted so as to set up someone that is innocent. It does not begin to tie the actual rifling and ballistic patterns of the bullet or shards that caused death with a particular firearm.
I have a lot of firearms that don’t squirt casings everyhere.
Liberals and other Nanny-State control freaks aren’t comfortable unless they know the government is monitoring and controlling the activities of everyone else.
The intrusion into our personal freedom is past the unbearable stage and getting worse daily.
Drones watching us from the sky, cameras and facial recognition software watching every street corner, schoolkids can’t bring a home packed lunch to school, shutting down little kid’s lemonade stands, telling us what size softdrink we can buy, telling retaurants what kind of ingredients they can use and how big their servings can be, GPS tracking devices in vehicles and telephones.
How long before we are required to have ID chips and GPS devices implanted at birth?
The only things they don’t want to control are the nations borders, illegal aliens, fraudulent voting, pedophilia, pre-teen sex, welfare cheating, dope smoking.....
Wasn’t ‘ballistic fingerprinting’ supposed to do the same thing? And didn’t that solve exactly zero cases in the end?
**A technique that uses laser technology and stamps a numeric code on shell casings can do just that.**
An application of emory cloth or lapping compound will fix that.
I can see some perverse criminal with a case of replacement firing pins ... a new firing pin for each new crime!
More anti-gun bullsh*t from some pen pusher who never bothered to do her homework.
Criminals would simply use revolvers, while all the rest of the nation bore the cost of yet another expensive - and utterly worthless - bureaucracy.
Let’s hope this trivial and nonsensical notion is dead in the water, as it should be.
Bull-hockey! It is backdoor registration. Nothing less.
Seems to be their theme for pretty much everything these days.
