<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California state lawmakers are hoping a new bill will finally force gun makers to implement \u201cmicrostamping\u201d technology on all new firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation would require all state, county, and city law enforcement officers to use firearms equipped with microstamping technology if they are purchased after July 1, 2023. Lawmakers are hoping the legislation will compel firearm manufacturers to implement the new technology in order to compete for state law enforcement contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to create a market for microstamp guns. There are 86,000 active law enforcement officers in the state of California. Folks are going to want to sell to them, want to be able to compete in that market,\u201d Democratic Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel told the Associated Press<\/a>. \u201cThis is technology that benefits law enforcement, that is going to help them in their investigations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California passed a law in 2007 requiring all new handgun models to be equipped with microstamping technology. But gun makers, knowing the cost and inefficacy associated with microstamping, have simply refused to introduce new firearm models into the state. Californians can still purchase new firearms, but residents have not had access to any new models since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel and his fellow anti-gun lawmakers believe gun manufacturers are simply being obstinate, and they\u2019re hoping this new bill<\/a> will force them to adopt the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor too long, gun manufacturers have prioritized ideology over safety and fought commonsense efforts to incorporate microstamping technology into new firearms,\u201d Gabriel said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cOur legislation will allow California to use its market power to overcome this obstinance and dramatically expand the use of this important technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris on Confiscation: \u2018That\u2019s not what we\u2019re talking about\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Much like \u201csmart gun\u201d technology, microstamping has been touted by anti-gun politicians without any regard for feasibility or efficacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most frequently cited form of microstamping etches a microscopic set of figures onto a gun\u2019s firing pin, which transfers those characters onto the primer of a cartridge. In theory, forensic experts could look at that primer under a microscope and link that cartridge to a particular handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology is far from perfect. This study<\/a> from the University of Iowa concluded that \u201cit is not a perfect technology, even on optimized weapons.\u201d High percentages of primers are totally unreadable, depending on the firearm used, and lacquered ammunition is always unreadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, as the Mark Oliva of the National Shooting Sports Foundation told the Associated Press<\/a>, criminals can quickly and easily file off the microscopic characters on the end of a firing pin, and the characters wear off over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt sounds great on paper but … it doesn’t hold up. All it does is infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens and make firearms unavailable to them,\u201d Oliva said. \u201cI don’t see how this would help to solve crime or resolve criminal misuse of firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their part, gun makers have held that the technology is impossible to implement into their manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMicrostamping is unreliable, serves no safety purpose, is cost prohibitive and, most importantly, is not proven to aid in preventing or solving crimes,\u201d Smith & Wesson said in a press release in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel\u2019s bill has been referred to the Committee on Public Safety<\/a>. Concerned citizens can contact the Assemblyman here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
