a little emery cloth or replacement FP will nix this scheme.
Or just using a revolver instead of an autoloader. Liberals don't understand the first thing about guns.
“New York must require microstamping of all semiautomatic handguns —the criminals’ weapon of choice”
“easily traced back to the gun that shot them and, therefore, to its registered owner.”
Someone believes that criminals register their weapons. Only when they make gun ownership a crime.
They understand this. They understand that microstamping will not solve a violent crime, any more than having a registered serial number on a gun is any good at tracking down a criminal. The legislation is not aimed at putting violent criminals in jail. It's aimed at putting YOU in jail.
They simply want yet another way to put you in jail when they want to. So when your estranged wife or girlfriend tips them off that you have defaced your microstamper, they can take you away and put you in jail.
In the NY Legislation they have "amends subdivision 6 of section 265.10 of the penal law to clarify that the existing class D felony offense of defacing a firearm includes the defacement of a microstamping component or mechanism of a semiautomatic pistol".
Disinterested outsiders could tell the New Yorkers that they can improve things by simply keeping the bad guys in jail longer ~ like 35 years longer!
