DA urges NYS Senate to pass Microstamping Bill

"Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice is urging the NYS Senate to pass legislation requiring semiautomatic pistols manufactured or delivered to any licensed dealer in this state to be capable of microstamping ammunition.

The District Attorney said that the legislation would allow police to quickly match a shell casing found at a crime scene to a specific weapon and its registered owner. “Microstamping technology is a valuable tool for law enforcement that will result in more evidence and more violent offenders off the street,” Rice said."

Now, its bad enough that a Long Island paper would be the bearer of such absolute bullswaddle, but to simply cut and paste the lying liberal agenda is pathetic:

"Microstamping technology would give law enforcement a tool that will provide evidence to help investigate, arrest, and convict more people who use semiautomatic handguns in crimes. As the gun is fired, information identifying the make, model, and serial number of the gun is stamped onto the cartridge as numbers and letters. This technology is designed to aid law enforcement officials investigating homicides and other crimes by allowing them to trace handguns through cartridge casings found at crime scenes. It will provide rapid leads at many crime scenes which is so important in the first crucial hours after a homicide.

Microstamping will help reduce gun trafficking of new semiautomatic handguns by creating accountability. Legal purchasers who buy guns for traffickers (straw buyers) will be deterred once they know crimes committed with these guns can be traced directly back to them."

And perhaps the biggest lie of all:

"Manufacturers will incur minimal costs to adopt the new technology. The anticipated cost is to be between fifty cents and one dollar per firearm."

So very much to fisk and so little time. Here they are saying that all of this information will be "stamped on the cartridge", so all one would need do is police one's brass to eliminate those evil little judas goats. And since we all know how the firing pin impacts the brass, what in all hells would ALSO impact it to stamp all of this info...and at literally pennies per gun? Take a trip on over to commie-central and have a look at the entire story, and leave a comment like I did if the mood is upon ye.
