Microstamping Bills in NY

[ladder13]

Both the State Assembly, Bill A1251, and the State Senate, Bill S2277 have Bills in their respective Codes Committees ( 2nd step to becoming legislation in NY) with a requirement that any semi automatic pistol manufactured or delivered into NY be capable of microstamping ammunition.

It shall, if passed by both legislative chambers, and signed by the Gov take effect Jan 1, 2021.
Since the legislature and Gov belong to the same party, and are rabidly anti gun, passage seems a likely outcome.

swap in an aftermarket firing pin and there goes your trackability.

Seems to me this ranks right up there with the fired casing registration thing. I know Maryland did the fired casing registration for 15 years, spent millions of dollars on the program and it solved exactly zero criminal investigations. The few times the program was of any degree of help, the detectives had already identified their suspect.

I expect the only thing this legislation will do will be to increase the cost of firearms and place another burden upon the taxpayers.

NY already did the the fired case ID the gun thing too,,called it COBIS. Multi millions if not more down the drain and the only match I'm aware of was that of a fired casing left at a shooting in Rochester. It matched to a pistol in the COBIS records. They went to the owner,,he told them if they ever find the thief that stole the gun several months prior, they may have a start at finding their guy.
The owner did report the gun as stolen at the time.
Nice work.

In a QC type check,,several casings ( 8 I believe) that matched ones already in the system were sent through as crime scene evidence from various locations in the State.
None came back as a match.
The system has been closed down.

A similar fate awaits the microstamping program. But not until they spend millions/billions tax $$ and give a lot of people nice cushy jobs with excellent retirements first.

Very unfortunate for my neighbors in the Upstate. Sometimes I wonder how they endure everything that comes out of that very small but highly populated part of NY.

I think it may be time to move my family out of NYS. I have had enough of these politicians chipping away at my liberty and raising my taxes.

I think you guys misread the actual intent of this type of law. It isn't meant to help solve crimes. We've had to deal with this for several years now, and it is really meant to be a backdoor way of getting around the 2nd Amendment. The politicians use the anti-crime babble as their justification.

Out here, you want an S&W semi-it's either a shield or an sd9ve. You want a glock, it's a gen3.

This has nothing to do with saving lives or solving crimes - just another way to get rid of guns & gun owners by making is all but impossible or affordable to own a gun in the State. Also known as "death by 1,000 cuts".

I assume this will effectively kill buying used semi-auto pistols and importing them into NY as all of NY's recent gun laws have had no provision for grandfathering.

Does this law also apply to law enforcement guns?

And if the EBR is so evil, why didn't they include it on the list also?
