Welcome back to The Legal Brief, the show where we still CRUSH the various legal myths
and misinformation surrounding various areas of the gun world.
I'm your host Adam Kraut and today we are talking about a new bill that has been introduced
in Congress that would require microstamping technology to be added to new pistols.
Are you concerned about the NRA and the direction it's heading?
Want to ensure someone who represents your interests sits on the Board of Directors?
If you are a NRA life member, an annual member for the past five years, or know someone who
is, head on over to adamkraut.com to get a petition to place me on the ballot for the
NRA Board of Directors in 2018.
Even with a Republican controlled Congress and White House, certain opponents of the
Second Amendment continue to push their agenda.
The newest iteration of this nonsense is found in House Bill 3458, the MICRO Act.
As you probably guessed, micro is actually an acronym standing for Make Identifiable
Criminal Rounds Obvious...Whoever thought of that should look for a new job, seriously,
that's just terrible.
The bill would require that any pistol manufactured or imported after the effective date, assuming
it were passed, to be able to microstamp ammunition.
The bill goes on to say that a pistol is capable of microstamping if a microscopic array of
characters that identify the make, model, and serial number of the pistol is etched
into the breech face and firing pin of the pistol AND when ammunition is fired from the
pistol, the characters are copied from the breech face and firing pin onto the cartridge
case of the ammunition.
I think it's fairly evident that someone who knows nothing about guns drafted this legislation.
I don't know how you'd get something on the breech face to imprint since that would
require extremely hot ammo which would likely result in a blown up gun OR the breech face
would have to move forward to imprint on the back of the cartridge.
Technology that I'm not aware of.
Additionally, the legislation would make it a crime for a person to remove, obliterate
or alter the microstamp code or the microstamping capability of a firearm.
It does have a provision that would allow the replacement of a worn out or damaged firing
pin.
So now police are going to have to be issued a jeweler's loop to check firing pins.
They do have vision insurance right?
It appears that federal lawmakers learned nothing from California's debacle with microstamping,
which is still the subject of litigation.
To my knowledge, there is not one firearm out there that was able to comply with California's
insane requirements.
In fact, the list of approved handguns on their roster has been steadily shrinking.
And yes, to those of you living in states where you have freedom, California actually
has a list of approved handguns that can be sold in the state, separate from the microstamping
nonsense they are trying to defend in court.
Guns.com quotes NSSF Vice President Larry Keane as saying "Every independent peer-reviewed
study of this nascent patented technology has concluded it is not ready for use as a
crime solving tool.
We have held the position, and still do, that this technology is unreliable, easily defeated
and simply impossible to implement."
Interestingly, even proponents of the technology admit that it isn't a slam dunk.
Smartgunlaws.org, a website dedicated to disseminating information in favor of more gun control laws,
states "Ballistic imaging and microstamping technologies have the potential to reduce
gun violence by improving the solve rate of gun-related crimes."
I see this right up there with the potential of dimwits proving the earth is flat.
It's round.
Whether or not this is simply a grandstanding attempt by politicians or an actual move to
implement more gun laws under the guise of safety, I don't know.
What is clear is that bad ideas continue to permeate the brains of politicians.
While it is unlikely that this bill will ever go anywhere, it is important that you are
aware of it.
Even if it suffers the fate that the majority of bills introduced in Congress do, that being
death in committee, there is nothing that would prevent a state from picking up this
asinine legislation and running with it.
If you're opposed to microstamping on guns, you need to share this video and let people
know about this bill.

make that happen.
Be sure to ring that bell so you don't miss an episode.
