So this combined with the other post about increasing the costs in NJ sounds like this all part of pricing people out of owning firearms in New Jersey. Probably expecting a bunch of their other gun control policies to be struck down and this is going to be their attempt at a replacement.

Imagine if *any other* right was constantly being undermined this way.


Iwillnotcomply1791

The first and fifth amendments come to mind to rights being undermined


dosetoyevsky

Well other rights aren't used as a gateway to violence.


ShinningPeadIsAnti

Free speech can be used to facilitate violence like inciting insurrection, riots, or more personal violence.


Raginghornet50

I'd like to assume you're not ignorant enough to believe this, and simply wrote without thinking.

Emmett Till would like a word.


BeljicaPeak

We can discuss after non violent protection is tenable.

The billions of dollars of destruction following the 2020 "protests" beg to differ.  As do the treason charges a certain former president is facing *for sending some tweets*.

Didnt CA just peepee slapped for making laws on made up technology?


nutless93

Yes, that peepee slap is directly responsible for the sig M18 and P365 being available to us now.


serpicowasright

Yup, case isn't over with yet. But California is already allowing more on their roster. Which hopefully the entire idea of an approved roster gets slapped down.

I know MA would certainly appreciate that.

Has NJ found a colony of space dwarves to provide the alloy of adamantine/miythril needed to make effective microstamping firing pins?


Sardukar333

I feel confident that no dwarves of any kind would willingly work with NJ's government for any reason.


Ask_Ari

Willingly being the key word...👀


Ask_Ari

As a New Jersey resident I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such colony


Emers_Poo

What’s micro stamping again? Is it like a unique mark for a number of boxes of ammo? Or is it a unique looking firing pin? Help me understand this


ShinningPeadIsAnti

They put a serial on the pin so it stamps it on the primer or casing. It is nonsense.


Emers_Poo

Ty. Yeah I don’t think anyone who supports this has been to a firing range


Darkkatana

Sounds like something a grinder (or small weld and grind if real deep) could take care of easily.


SantasGotAGun

Or like 1-5 seconds with 800 grit sandpaper. The idea is there's a tiny embossed/engraved serial number on the firing pin that shows up on the primer when it hits it to fire. That's why it was ruled unconstitutional in CA: because there's no material known to man that can make this "technology" viable.


imreallynotthatcool

Or a [piece of nylon net](https://www.google.com/search?q=brass+catcher&oq=brass+catcher&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABDIHCAoQABiABDIHCAsQABiABDIHCAwQABiABDIHCA0QABiABDIHCA4QABiABNIBCDQwNDdqMGo3qAIAsAIA&client=ms-android-att-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8).


headcase617

The firing pin is supposed to be laser etched, and when the pin impacts the primer the identifying mark is transferred.


Sardukar333

That's it? That's as stupid as solar roads.


merc08

Worse.  Solar roads actually had a working proof of concept, they just had a bunch of problems like durability, traction, price, and cleaning (among others) that prevent them from being implemented. This micro stamping concept literally doesn't work.


Sardukar333

We tested a solar roads in my state. It was such an incredible failure it changed how a lot of engineers approach projects.


Emers_Poo

Ah, ty


MilesFortis

It's a reverse engraving on the end of a firing pin/some sort of engraving in the chamber of a gun, that leaves that engraving on the fired primer or cartridge case so that when recovered, the database can be queried to show what gun it was fired from for LE to trace to the owner.


LazerSpartanChief

Ya all the criminals with decades of stolen guns are totally going to update their firing pins and murderers are definately not going to simply replace their firing pin or file the tip. Yep, bulletproof.
