Who knew that NYS had passed this law? I was certainly unaware. The good news is that a 2A friendly SCOTUS and some Federal District courts have been using Heller, Bruen, McDonald, Caetano, etc. to slowly knock holes in anti 2A laws nationwide. The microstamping portion of the CA law has been knocked down recently.
As the Moderator and others say, this law in it's current form is ineffective if and when it's requirements for microstamping are put into action. Work arounds are simply unintended consequences of lawmakers who as others have pointed out here "don't know how to screw in a light bulb" let alone how a gun actually works. Unfortunately, what they do know is that once their ridiculous and unworkable laws go into effect, they can make more ridiculous and unworkable laws to try and fill in against the myriad of gaps and work arounds. The consequence of one party city folk dominated legislative power and unfettered access to taxpayer funds for color of law prosecutions (persecutions) by the NYSAG (ala cease and desist letters to 80% lower makers before any law went into effect banning their product sales in NYS) is a long long legal road through democrat socialist state and district courts with years of slow movement (and purposeful delays by the government) and costly appeals before cases potentially move to SCOTUS (hopefully a friendly one, ie: don't forget the time gap from Heller in 2008 to Bruen in 2022) only to be ignored or circumvented by new unconstitutional laws (CCIA). We The People suffer the consequences through fines, imprisonment, delay and deprivation of rights, and costly defenses leading to loss of wealth and income. It's depressing that enforcement mechanisms and discipline are not in place or are not used by SCOTUS, district courts or the corrupt DOJ and AG's to slap down this bad behavior by inferior courts and lawmakers in a powerful way.
Bright spots are showing up and give us hope like rulings from St. Benitez and recent rulings against the ATF. I look forward to Chevron being crushed and lenity being the rule of the day. But I don't see a day when it won't be tough as our side continually plays by the rules while the other side willfully does not.
In my opinion, the first rule or law of lawmaking should be to require researching federal and state constitutions (and local laws if a proposed local law) and document in the new law by citing references to text, history and tradition and historical analogues the reasons that the new proposed law meets constitutional and if local also local law requirements. Only after that exercise, should a law go into effect. This requirement should extend to any court cases to the extent that the government may only use these citations and examples referenced when making a law in any and all court defense(s) of such a law. That would potentially streamline court challenges as certain reasoning(s) is/are ruled unconstitutional and or against local law or authority and removed from use as a defense. Wishful thinking on my part.
