I just saw a report about "Micro Serialized Firing Pins" . The conclusion of the report is as you would think...it don't last long....I wondered if any other analysis has been done or any other type if firearm ID has been tested?

So what happens when you break a firing pin? Or the criminal takes a nail file and files the pin down slightly, or goes to the range before the crime picks up a bunch of random casings and tosses them around the crime scene.
Then there is the whole issue of how long does this microstamping last on the end of the firing pin? |

It's not about crime control or solving crimes it's about politics, especially out here in Kalifornastan. How's the old saying go: Gun control's not about gun's; it's about power. Do these do-gooders and power whores obviously have little concept of the way in which both firearms and criminals work. |

I remember reading years ago that Beretta spent a fortune trying to develop "smart gun" technology, i.e., guns that could only be used by the authorized owner. Beretta R&D folks concluded that it was basically not possible to incorporate into a firearm that would still be dependable and fully functional. At the time, there was a lot of talk about such a thing becoming law. If I recall correctly, this was in or around the Joycelyn Elders era. She was the Clinton-appointed, "safer guns and bullets" lunatic. |
| There is already micro stamping. Anyone familiar with forensics can tell you about how they match spent casings to firearms from machining marks on the breech face. Imposing more restrictions on firearms with bullshit like this is another means of punishing the end used with higher costs in order to deter them from purchasing. It's not about crime, it's about punishment. |
