Micro-Stamping Legislation Passes New York Assembly

Micro-Stamping Legislation Passes New York Assembly
 
Thursday, May 26, 2011
 

On Tuesday, May 24, Assembly Bill 1157 passed in the New York Assembly by a 84 to 55 vote.  The bill has been delivered to the state Senate and will be considered in the Senate Codes Committee. 

Introduced by state Assemblyman Michelle Schimel (D-16), A1157 would require all current semi-automatic pistols in production and all newly designed semi-automatic pistols delivered to any licensed firearms dealer in New York to mechanically stamp an alpha-numeric or geometric code that would imprint the make, model and serial number onto the cartridge case when the gun is discharged.  This bill would vastly increase the cost of these firearms and will likely result in firearms manufacturers not selling new handguns in New York.  Of course, that is the ultimate goal of this legislation.

A1157 would also require micro-stamping on all new semi-automatic pistols sold in New York after January 1, 2013 or whenever the State Police receive notification from one or more “micro-stamp job shops” that they can produce micro-stamp structures on two internal surfaces of a semi-automatic pistol for $12 or less, whichever occurs later. 

Gun control advocates know that micro-stamping is unproven technology, is easily circumvented, and will be very costly to gun owners. Desperate to pass a bill and create a loophole, this legislation would do nothing to safeguard gun owners from the costly, unproven gimmick we know as micro-stamping.  Enemies of the Second Amendment are determined to pass New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's pet project at any cost.

Please contact your state Senator and respectfully urge him or her to OPPOSE A1157.  Contact information can be found here.

This foolery passed the Assembly before when the rats controlled the NY State Senate. They couldn't pass it then, but the pubbies barely control the State Senate now, and they have a bunch of RINOs.

Microstamping is useless without a live and updated registry to record those microstamped numbers and pair them with a firearm and the owner of that firearm.

This is just an end run to justify that registry.

I can’t think of a single elected Republican in NY who is NOT a RINO. I still don’t think this will see the light of day in the state senate. It would be political suicide for any upstate politician.

Sounds like revolver sales are going to take a huge jump in New York.

The legislation exists only to harass gun owners and enrich purveyors of a dubious technology. Similar bills have been rebuffed all over the country.

How far has that rfid tech gotten by now? I'm sure it's not in here. The government tells me it's not, therefore it is treason to question.

Now smart criminals will use revolvers and seed the crime scene with spent shells from a gun range.

This idiot has made it easier to dodge an investigation.

Exactly. Except that even the really stupid criminals will catch on pretty quickly.

It it becomes law. Hopefully, it won't.

Yes, I think this will quickly prove useless in practice.

In that case, the obvious thing to do is extend the requirement to revolvers! And they probably will.

Exactly. It makes no sense to single out semi-automatic firearms. Even if you did find microstamped shell casings at a crime scene, it doesn't necessarily prove anything. Criminals could also use this technology to plant false evidence.

Don’t even lose one piece of brass at the range, otherwise it could end up at a crime scene. What an asinine idea.

The req will be mandatory in both, it’s just that revolvers do not eject the shells like a semi-auto.

I see a big market in replacement firing pins coming up.

Just own revolvers. After each depleted cylinder, gather the casings and dispose of them.

Done!

What a bunch of maroons!

Will they make it a crime to pick up your stamped brass?

And then they will make a law that you must give up a fired brass for inspection upon demand. Wrong or no s/n, off to prison you go.
