If you live in MA, don't forget that a new legislative session just started and with that comes new bills, committee assignments, and commissions.

One such commission is the new Special Legislative Commission on Emerging Firearms Technology.

Special Legislative Commission on Emerging Firearm Technology

malegislature.gov malegislature.gov

They'll likely meet a few times over the next few months and in the end publish a report based on their findings, at which point, someone may or may not file a bill that incorporates some of the report's recommendations.

If you look at the commission members we have an MIT professor, the CEO of a microstamping company, a DA, MSP Colonel, and surprisingly a government affairs rep from the NSSF.

I'm sure 3D printers will monopolize the hearing's time and microstamping will just be an afterthought.

What was discussed?
 
Microstamping should me a moot subject.

A microstamped firing pin can be replaced or filed down.

If a criminal is bent on killing somebody which is already against the law - not law will stop him from replacing or filing down a firing pin.

It's like demanding that all guns have smooth surfaces to finger prints can be lifted.

The criminals will just put on gloves.

Maybe brass catchers will be banned next.

GOAL needs to call them on this absurdity.

Will the state ban importation of firing pins???

Or, ban nail files?

Will the penalties for a "modified" firing pin be the same as for the murder a criminal just committed? I don't think he would care at that point.

What about revolvers???

They will become the tools of assassins!!!

Don’t tell them the truth.

That’s like saying if somebody f***s with the hard enough, you’ll kill them. It’s all about tolerance.

Probably the most coherent and accurate reptile post I’ve read.

Despite AG’s Urging, New Jersey ‘Study’ Still Proves Microstamping Not Ready for Prime Time

New Jersey’s Attorney General has finally reached a determination about the viability of firearm microstamping technology. The decision comes over a year late with wasted tax dollars to boot. The state’s report only proved that the idea of microstamping is still severely flawed and not ready for...

They’re trying to pull the same shit here in MA. That’s why the NJ assistant AG and microstamping CEO are attending the next meeting.

Is this the time to stock up on Firing Pins???

Once they are banned, they will be worth 10x more than they are now.

This might be a great business opportunity!

Lol, maybe. If anything comes of it, it will be a nothing burger like it was in NJ. I believe the NJ law says the shop has to offer at least one “Smart” gun for sale. But it doesn’t require that all guns microstamp.
