Latest anti-gun idiocy

Gun Microstamping: Democrat Ignorance Threatens Manufacturing Jobs

Microstamped firing pins that leave an identifier on the spent casing.

It simply gets no dumber than this. Criminals steal their guns, or buy stolen guns on the street, so the microstamping would identify the wrong person.  Microstamping is useless with revolvers and other guns that don't eject the spent cartridge -- and a few swipes with a file removes the stamping, anyway.

The only real-world effect of microstamping would be to make guns more expensive, so fewer law-abiding people could afford the means to defend themselves and their families.  That is seen as desirable public policy by Progressive legislators and others who live in gated communities patrolled by armed security guards.
