"Microstamping" - the firearm imprints a serial number unique to each firearm on each expended shell

I guess that makes my current collection more valuable?

 

On the black market, yes, firearms that fire "ghost ammunition" would become the weapons of choice for school shooters, home invaders, and carjackers everywhere.

 

I have a better idea. If criminal perpetrators are going unidentified because their guns and ammo are unserialized, why not make the criminals show government-issued ID before committing crimes? Just pass a law, and it will become true. It's much more cost-effective, since it uses technology and infrastructure that already exists. Any criminal that fails to produce ID will be prohibited from committing crimes.

So many of these proposed bills put the responsibility for record keeping and registration upon the ISP.

Any knowledgeable person understands that the ISP is totally unable to do what they are already tasked with.

Of course when I state “knowledgeable person” that would seem to eliminate a large portion of the current ILGA.
Who are they you ask? The sponsors of these bills.

I put SB554 Crim Cd - UUW - Felon - Vehicle in our oppose list because it's duplicative of existing prohibitions on felons possessing firearms and ammunition.


Even though we haven't been listing shell bills I put SB568 Fix The FOID Tech in the list of bills under review. I'm guessing we'll eventually oppose it but with no substantive language I don't want to jump to conclusions.
