What is microstamping technology?

Larry Pratt (Executive Director, Gun Owners of America) gives expert video advice on: What is a gun lock?; Do guns come with a safety lock already?; Why is there opposition to gun locks? and more...

Micro Stamping Technology is one of the worse ideas to come along in quite a few years. It is the idea that somehow when a criminal uses a gun, the characteristics of the guns firing pen and other striations maybe there are left on them. The bullet itself as they go through the barrel of the gun will identify either the casing or the bullet and help solve crime. the problem with that is the criminal don't leave their gun at the scene of the crime, when they can take it with them it's a simple matter to fire the gun in another hundred time yourself and the markings would be completely different any markings that might left in the scene of the crime. California has studied this; they've done at least two out of state major studies. One was even a foreign company and the studies keep coming back, same not work.
