A decade ago microstamping was the new shiny object for the gun controllers, but now it could soon be headed for the dustbin of history. Not only has a federal judge in California struck down the state’s microstamping requirement for all new semi-automatic handguns as a violation of the Second Amendment, but states like New York and New Jersey are struggling to find any evidence at all that microstamping is even feasible.
As POLITICO reports, under gun control legislation signed into law in the Garden State last year, New Jersey’s Office of the Attorney General was tasked with investigating how feasible the state’s microstamping mandate would be to implement. Acting AG Matthew Platkin was supposed to deliver the results of that investigation to lawmakers in January of this year, but six months later his report is nowhere to be found.
