On Microstamping and Ted Nugent
Whether I ask for them or not, I am sent e-mails from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and sometimes they contain interesting stuff. The latest one informed me that California's legislature has passed a law requiring that all automatic pistols sold in that state after 2010 have their breech faces and firing pins microengraved. This process would stamp the serial number of a gun on the case of any round it fired, enabling the police to trace the firearm from brass left at the scene of a shooting.
According to CTSGV, California is solving only 45 percent of its homicides right now, so they could use some help, and the bill lacks only Arnold's signature to become law. I don't know whether it will solve any crimes, but I do see two likely results: First, neater murderers. The more meticulous among California's killers may actually police their brass after they kill someone, resulting in less litter at a crime scene. The other is a return to revolvers. Is this progress? Who knows?
Also on the Coalition's site was a news item claiming that Ted Nugent, who is a member of the NRA's Board of Directors, threatened Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama with violence while waving a pair of assault rifles. This allegedly happened onstage at a concert in Anaheim, California on August 21. There is even a tape of the event (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ac6_1188154223) you can watch.
I did, and the Nuge does appear to be waving a pair of black rifles, and you hear the occasional bad word, but threats? My understanding is that if you threaten a presidential candidate, the Secret Service comes to have a talk and no one ever sees you again. But as far as I know, the Nuge is still at large.
What is wrong with this picture? Go to www.csgv.org and take a look. Maybe you can tell me. |

This really gets my Ire up! I heard about this on the radio the other day. Not once does Ted threaten these people. Yeah, sure he calls them names, but that's about it. I grew up listening to Strangle Hold and Cat Scratch Fever. I like Ted. The fact that the NUGE did this in Kalifornia is a major coup! This leftist-liberal state needs shaken up from time to time to let the "subjects" there know there is another side to the coin. (I still can't believe Diane Feinstein holds her position as senator there after all these years!) As far as micro stamping goes, can't ballistic science already determine if a bullet fired from a specific firearm is linked to that firearm? Isn't that the whole premise on matching lands, grooves, striations, and even striker (firing pin) marks to the gun that fired the bullet? Why the need for micro stamping? It just seems like more redundant bureaucracy and a way to get more money from the taxpayers.  Ok, I'm off my rant now. |

I would like to see the gun industry refuse to do this micro stamping and just abandon the California gun trade completely. And I would like to see all gun oriented companies move to another state. Followed by gun owners. How would they like to have their economy take a hit like that? It will leave room for more illegal aliens that do not spend as much money and get more state and federal money than they earn in honest work. California can become the very first welfare state to show how the system works. And FAILS. Sarge |

We need to stamp the cheeks of our criminals not our weapons. In big bold letters on their cheeks, F for felon, CM for child molestor, M for murder, and so on. Then you would know, which politican, cop, boy scout leader, teacher, priest, co-worker or neighbor needs to be looked after and watched |
