Microstamping has been on the Assembly debate calendar since last week and they still have not been able to bring it up. Brian Kolb just tweeted that it appears to be off the table until next week which is the last week the state legislature has scheduled sessions.
I sent out another press release yesterday trashing the sponsor, “Schimel Continues to Shovel the Manure.” New Yorkers Against Gun Violence responded today with some more stuff they just made up, “New Study Proves Microstamping Technology Works And Is A Necessary Tool For Law Enforcement To Solve Gun Crimes.“
Why not just skip all of the microstamping and go to a technology that will really work and work on the first day. Have a sensor built into the trigger that will read a person’s fingerprint and will not allow the gun to work if it can not read the fingerprint, like when people use a glove. A computer in the gun converts the fingerprint into a micro-micro bar code that a laser in the gun etches onto the primer case. When we recover a case we will be able to look at it and tell the fingerprint of the shooter, not the gun owner so that even covers stolen guns. I am sure that the gun makers already have the technology right now and have had it for a long time but just wanted more people to die in order to increase their sales and it should cost much less than the $12 a gun that micostamping will cost.
Oh, I forgot to add that you could also add a camera with flash at the back of the gun that would take a picture of the person shooting the gun and the laser could also etch a super-micro-micro-micro picture of the shooter onto the primer cap.
Saw her on CNN this morning claiming to own a business? Any idea what that’s about?
I believe it’s the jewelry business. That’s how she knows microstamping works, because the business works with gold.
