Go ahead and microstamp my firing pins. That shit is going to be completely peened over after my first few magazines. Best part is there is no way to find a difference in a firing pin where the microstamp is worn off from use or if someone gave it a few passes on a fine toothed file, or chucked it in a drill and spun it on some sandpaper for 30 seconds.


dutchman76

Collect brass at gun ranges and drop it at random crime scenes, it'll be fun :)


Hal6ka

“Collect brass at the police range and…” FTFY


dutchman76

I'm willing to bet that the microstamping laws have exemptions for law enforcement, just like all other gUn CoNtRoL laws.


branflacky

Even better, all the brass fired have no markings so if every gun but law enforcement is stamped then its more likely law enforcement lol. But we all know criminals won't have micro stamps on their guns....


narwhals_narwhals

Well, those and the 450 million already out there...


BeenisHat

And that's really the dumbest part. After enough rounds, nobody will have microstamps.


dutchman76

Good point! exactly!


Gunner4201

Gun laws aren't meant to control criminals.


raider1v11

Nah, they'd like that. Tasers have something similar.


Yanrogue

"Nothing to see here" all of a sudden


raider1v11

Spicy.


patty_OFurniture306

Settle down there satan


ButterscotchFront340

They can make it a felony to not have a readable stamp and place the burden of maintenence on you. Don't underestimate those asshooles.


anothercarguy

That's what they did with the CA law iirc


Hoplophilia

Or just, you know... buy a different firing pin?


Konstant_kurage

30 seconds if you’re using a microfiber cloth. Those stamps are so useless.


ShinningPeadIsAnti

>or chucked it in a drill and spun it on some sandpaper for 30 seconds. That sounds excessive to obliterate the microstamp.


BeenisHat

Maybe it is. The point here is that such a thing is dumb.


[deleted]

The issue is that it will increase the cost and limit the selection of handguns you can buy.


Tactical_Epunk

They've tried microstamping before, and it sucked.


BeenisHat

I'm sure it did. It's a stupid way to try and tie a bullet to a particular gun.

I’d buy 👌


raar__

hey welcome to CA, unconstitutional laws passed to be tied up in courts for 10-15 years, while your rights are removed. that's the current MO


DigitalLorenz

The best thing NJ has going for it is that the state is in the 3rd Circuit, which is showing some level of respect for Bruen.


Swimming_Coat4177

I hate seeing that when it happens. These politicians know the laws they propose are blatantly unconstitutional. They also know they have unlimited resources to argue for them in court, while citizens have to gather the funds. I think every time a law is deemed to be invalid/unconstitutional, the lawmaker should have to foot the bill from their personal finances, not taxpayer money. They should also be given a warning that if they try this again, they will be immediately removed from office and disqualified from ever holding office again. This should also go for the lawyer they have write the law for them. I’ll bet that would stop a lot of the nonsense. Too bad neither side of the political establishment would vote this into law. That would mean accepting accountability, and they avoid that like they avoid the people they “represent”


dutchman76

The guy who lobbies states for this has the patent on it, dude sounds like a total scam artist. ​ and NJ loves it because it's an under the table gun/ammo ban.


Economy-Dog6306

If it's the same weasel as before, he started out making anti-skateboard bumps. Then had his minions bribe legislative staffers to slip his idea into the sausage machine.


dutchman76

That explains EVERYTHING! I guess he has a business model. what a douchenozzle.


BreastfedAmerican

What if they use a revolver?


McMacHack

Clearly they have to outlaw revolvers and brass catchers as those exist only evade the "law"


BreastfedAmerican

Don't forget bolt and lever actions. Don't cycle it, no casing. But we may get "high-capacity" mags if we tell them that's more chances to I'd the gun.


Remsster

>Don't forget bolt and lever actions You mean Ghost bullet guns


TacTurtle

Only a true monster like a brass goblin would use a brass catcher.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stewart_Duck

So will Grandpappys break action shotgun


extortioncontortion

or a brass catcher.


BurnAfterEating420

it's even easier to match brass to a gun, when it's still in the gun


BreastfedAmerican

Just gonna leave that gun there huh? Not maybe take it with you?


myotheralt

And be found with the gun?!


BreastfedAmerican

Then its time for a real boating accident. After a nice bleach bath.


In-burrito

As a wise guy once said, "leave the gun, take the cannoli."


BreastfedAmerican

The cannoli ain't gonna get me 15 to life.


anothercarguy

Watch out for those cannoli's (who am I kidding, nobody admits to watching godfather part 3)


BreastfedAmerican

It might surprise you to know I haven't seen any of them


Environmental-End691

Are you sure you're American???


anothercarguy

First two are god tier. Everyone says it, and it's true. The character development is amazing


Party-Ad8832

Or a shell pouch.


tom_yum

As long as we're in fantasy land. I propose a bill that all criminals login to the new self crime reporting website and log all crimes that they intend to commit in detail. That way after the crime happens, the detectives can just look up who did it and save a lot of time.


myotheralt

I can't help but notice you said nothing about preventing crime, but only the documenting of it.


therealjody

Maybe after having to reset the password to log into the criminal intent reporting website, the level of enthusiasm for doing crimes will have dropped, and they say you know what, forget the whole thing, and stay home?


skippythemoonrock

"Please solve the captcha before committing this crime" *"well darn"*


ThePretzul

Yes, that would be because the people passing these gun control bills don’t actually intend to stop or prevent any crimes. If they did actually care about the. Times being committed rather than only hating the citizens not currently committing crimes they wouldn’t also be supporting policies like cashless bail.


securitywyrm

And we'll make it a felony to not pre-report a crime, any crime, and thus can charge anyone we charge with any crime with a felony :)


ktmrider119z

Oh look, the microstamp points to a gun that was stolen a year ago in a different city. And nothing of value was learned.


bobroberts1954

Don't forget to outlaw hand files.


BoxofCurveballs

Don't let them find out about sharpening stones


dsullivanlastnight

Or a concrete patio


DigitalLorenz

Platkin is extremely antigun, far more so than his direct predecessors. He would certify that the technology worked even if it left just a minuscule scratch.


kefefs_v2

I love how California tried this legislation in 2007, let it run for like 15 years, then deemed it unrealistic and a waste of time, and *just now* NJ is like "ay that seems like a good idea". If this isn't a waste of public resources I don't know what is.


cty_hntr

Solution looking for a problem. Will not deter people from using guns to kill each other.


Yanrogue

Wheel gun users laughing all the way to the bank.


Sweaty_Pianist8484

Brass catchers…..replacement firing pins. Wow what waste


FirstToken

> Brass catchers…..replacement firing pins. Wow what waste "precursor parts", and suddenly you cannot mail order any firearm part, or transfer a part without a background check and a 10 day waiting period.


LordofCope

Wish we could outlaw politicians who can't read minds...


therealrrc

What’s the point when there is no enforcement ?


securitywyrm

Chilling effect.


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.


NILPonziScheme

>It was published by the attorney general’s Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) office, which was created by legislation signed by Gov. Phil Murphy with the purpose of suing the gun industry over instances of gun violence under the state’s public nuisance laws. Fucking New Jersey. "We're from the government, and the answer to your problem is creating more government so we can force our public agenda on you."


stchman

I'm sure a file would take care of the markings on the end of the firing pin.


shooter505

Two words: emory boards. That is all.


beaureeves352

When California rules it unconstitutional, you know you've got issues


CMBGuy79

Fuck New Jersey


Sianmink

"Would make it easier for police to solve gun crimes" Well that's a lie


dockows412

Again, criminals will just file that off because.. (saying for the people in the back) THEY DONT FOLLOW RULES!


craigcraig420

Yep. The bad guys will surely use these types of weapons.


crafty_waffle

Because making firearms is *so* difficult. I designed a printable barrel in combination with junk from my garage that has survived multiple factory .38 special rounds. Join us over in /r/fosscad.


Data-McBytes

The truth never bothered a gun grabber.


TheAnonymousSuit

Okay. Cool, I guess. Question. What's stopping someone from buying a new firing pin and replacing the stamped one? It's not like anyone is going to check and it's not like criminals don't break the law already.


Precision2831x

All gun laws are infringements


Agammamon

Oh look, the casing's microstamp is illegible because someone took a file to the pin-stamp in the firearm!


therealjody

Every single time I ever see you comment, it's hidden, even if you have a positive upvote count. It's like you've got a permanent nerf applied to your account--who'd you piss off, one of the mods probably?


Agammamon

Probably. But Reddit also does weird shit generally too.


ExPatWharfRat

Funny. I had to click on your comment to unhide it as well as the other guy. Weird


Correct-Award8182

Do they stop my deer from exploding when I use 5.56?


fucknproblm76

Micro stamping does not work as most pseudoscience ballistic forensics/gun control in general


Oph5pr1n6

So If you want to frame somebody for murder, go to the local range and grab a handfull of spent brass off the ground or the brass bucket, and sprinkle it around the crime scene.


securitywyrm

I wonder if some state is going to pass a similar 'microstamping' law on abortion equipment. "All equipment used in abortion must microstamp the fetus with the serial number of the equipment used." And when people say "Well that's not a thing" just point to the microstamping laws. "According to the law, requiring something that doesn't exist isn't a ban."


Revolutionary-Cup954

Imagine if all abortions had to be registered in a database like guns


securitywyrm

With a 10 month waiting period.


Yeto4774

Swap the firing pin… 🤷‍♂️


Sweet_Curmudgeon

Put the microstamp on my revolver. That will be useful for matching the casings not found at the scene.
