Firearms microstamping study bill introduced in U.S. House.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is applauding Congressman Dan Boren (D-Okla.) for introducing legislation in early July (H.R. 5667) that directs the U.S. Attorney General to work with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study of firearm microstamping.
Why?
Because it doesn't work, the NSSF maintains -- a fact that will become evident if the process is studied.
Study results will, hopefully, derail efforts in some states, such as New York, to require microstamping.
Firearms microstamping is a patented process that laser engraves the firearm’s make, model and serial number on the tip of the gun’s firing pin so that, in theory, it imprints the information on discharged cartridge cases. "Every independent study to examine the concept of microstamping has determined that it does not function reliably and is flawed," The NSSF maintains.

Wastin tax money is what this administration and it's chronies are all about.
This process makes no sense what so ever microstamping is BS. This will not stop a criminal that is intent on doing a crime.

microstamping? the criminals who prefer double barrel shotguns or revolvers will have a heyday. ARs Aks and other semi-automatics all have brass catchers available. the whole scenario is nothing but a stupid idea promoted by stupid people that are arrogant enough to believe that they can legislate morality. it's all bs promoted by politicians who want to be re-elected.
Studies tend to lean the direction of the sponsers. It's best the NSSF takes the lead with this study before a radical anti-2A group does.
come on this is dumb another way to waist tax payers money.why dont they just put a micro chip in the reciever.lol!
I know Hawkeye--it makes me nervious--I really hope I'm right about this. If I'm wrong, it will be like you said--another step to controlling firearms by the gun grabbers. And you're right about the criminals--it won't hurt them--they'll just replace or alter their firing pins. It would just make guns more expensive for those of us who follow the law.
I see your point about the study Seadog, but I still don't like it. Besides all the criminals would have to do is change out the firing pins, at least from the sound of it. I admit I don't have a vast knowledge surrounding this subject. To me it just sounds like someone trying to gain a few votes with an idiotic idea!
Hawkeye, I see your point--this could backfire, but I don't think it will. I don't think there has been an independent study on whether or not microstamping works or not. Without one, it will be viewed as an anti-crime law, so the uninformed public will back it and politicians voting against it will be criticized (unfairly) as weak on crime.
The NSSF just lost my respect. Why would they support such a study? What if they say it does work? This is just another step toward controlling firarms in my book. I can't comprehend their thinking!
