Microstamping Not Ready for Prime Time

"It gets a lot of attention because it has the word 'guns' written on it," said Fred Tulleners, director of forensics at the University of California, Davis, where a graduate student conducted a small-scale test of microstamping this year. "But it's not really ready to implement in prime time."

But that won't stop anti-freedom politicians from imposing it on those they rule. Anybody who wonders why they would do that hasn't been paying attention.

Incidentally--have you called Arnold yet? If not, good grief, why not?

I tried this site:
http://gov.ca.gov/interact
to email Arnold, but for some reason the submit button on his site does not work.

I did make that call, David. Should I call multiple times, to pad the numbers?

Anon, it looks like he wants to appear to care, but he really can't be bothered with the likes of us.

"It can identify the registered gun used, whether or not the gun has been found."

That's what they said about New York state's failed COBIS system.
Requiring serial numbers on all guns was supposed to stop crime too - I guess that didn't work either.
