Microstamping companion bill A-7926 introduced in Assembly. Senate bill is S-4116.

 

[repete]

Would "FUAC" micro stamped be acceptable?

Well, at least we know micro stamping a serial number on a spent shell casing will work as well to stop criminal shootings as license plates and VIN's stop drunk driving.

 

[Phazer]

Excellent! That must mean that the bill allowing civilian ownership of unicorns within city limits can't be far from passing.

Has this ever been done reliably?

 

[gunpoliticsny]

No. That's not the point.

 

[soylentBlue]

The bill includes firearms "delivered" to a dealer. Does this include transfers? As in any firearm, regardless of age must be somehow modified to comply when ownership changes?

 

[gunpoliticsny]

Bills are written to be a vague as possible so as to be as all encompassing as possible. I would say yes.

I can finally have a unicorn?

 

[Blimey]

I'm vaguely aware of the arguments for and against. It should be trivial to mitigate with a file, but then also most criminals are stupid.

I've tried googling to see if microstamping has been introduced anywhere and actually solved any crimes and I cannot find the answer to that. I see lots of people from both sides with their own views.

It looks like california introduced this years ago but gun manufacturers have just stopped selling new models there so that they don't have to deal with it (Commentary: It’s time to end ‘microstamp’ requirement for handguns).

 

[Phazer]

I can finally have a unicorn?

Yes. Right after microstamping cases becomes mainstream.

This is the intent, right here.
