Microstamping a “minorities” issue?

The New York Times is trying to make supporting microstamping a “minority issue”:

“… Over the last several weeks, the governor has been lavishing attention on minority communities amid signs that some were growing impatient with what they perceived as a lack of attention to their concerns … Many minority lawmakers are looking toward the next legislative session, which begins in January, as they seek to enlist Mr. Cuomo’s support on a range of issues.  For example, State Senator José R. Peralta, a Queens Democrat, wants Mr. Cuomo to promote legislation that would require microstamping, a form of ballistics identification, on all new semiautomatic handguns …”

What crap.  Microstamping is not a concern in “minority communities.”  It’s not a concern in “majority communities” either.  It is a concern to the lunatic fringe at New Yorkers Against Gun Violence.  The only people pushing micristamping in Albany are Michelle Schimel and the patent holder of the sole source technology (which does not even work as advertised.)
