Gun-control groups push for more laws in NY

12. Umm... no, I didn't.

Try reading what I wrote again. The crimes where you CAN use it for evidence are ones that the probability of having an intact mark actually connected to the shooter are very, very low.

Also, try looking up the history of CoBIS. More than 60,000 firearms in the database. Thousands of searches. Two hits. No convictions. A former attorney general axed the program. Microstamping had been thrown out as recently as last year and shot down.

This ain't CSI where looking at a casing for 30 seconds gets you a conviction. The real world is a hell of a lot more complicated.

And yeah, there are probably a few assholes who aren't planning on shooting up a 7-Eleven who would file down their microstamping just to be dicks. IF such a thing goes through -- and judging by the Legislature's utter lack of willingness to put in microstamping for the last 20 years, PLUS the need to get re-elected ANYWHERE upstate, that is a very big IF -- yeah, I hope they get nailed to the wall for it.
