You gotta love the blissful ignorance of the Antis:
First up you have his silly hunting story. This shows he has NO knowledge of how this system works. If a hunter shoots a bird or a deer the microstamp will be on the spent shell which is easily recovered. The bullet in the animal can be recovered, but will be indistinguishable from any other bullets as far as microstamping is done.
Also I love the “Police Support this”….so why are they exempted from the law? We talked about this before, if this law made us safer, then Police would be for this in their sidearms and patrol rifles and shotguns. It would make it easy for them to prove when they were fired upon, and who fired which shots.
Police are NOT for this law, they are AGAINST this law, hence why they WANT that exemption!
Further this law does NOTHING, as the microstamping doesn’t work. Even in a perfect scenario the technology frequently produces illegible or ambiguous marks, and further the technology can be quickly removed with household tools and zero skill, while still allowing the weapon to be used for crime. (PDF).
Yes, S&W and Ruger WANT to be in the California market, hence why they produce so many guns that comply with those regulations. I’ll also note that Ruger and S&W as well as several other companies work very hard to make their guns legal in Massachusetts.
Still complying with this stupidity is opening a door they don’t want to pass through. They have drawn a line in the sand. Yes it will cost them MILLIONS, but it will cost them Millions to save them BILLIONS in the future.
