Microstamping, the jokes on you

Kurt Hoffman has a good article about the joke that is microstamping. California passed a microstamping law a few years ago and they got a answer from S&W and Ruger. They have decided that they will no longer sell guns in Cali.

The far-left "news" source,Addicting Info, fawningly cited by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, accused gun makers last Friday of "helping criminals get away with murder." Manufacturers are doing this, we are told, by opposing legislation requiring all new semi-automatic handguns (well, not all of them, of course--law enforcement and other government hired muscle would naturally be exempt) be equipped with technology that would stamp the cartridge case with identifying information about the pistol that fired it.

Stamping technology in general uses sharp edged protrusions to create the imprint on whatever is being stamped. In a firearm, an object that creates heat, this will result in creating hot spots in the chamber where the stamp is during rapid fire. Those hot spots can cause "cook offs" or failure of the brass. On top of that, the technology is imprinting the brass. That very process weakens the brass and can cause ruptures. On the firing pin, you can have piercing of the primer which can cause damage to the firearm or worse, expel gas and particulate matter through the firing pin channel. Depending on the design of the firearm, it could force high velocity gas right into the shooters face. The inventors know this and so do elected officials. Yet, they keep pushing it. They are knowingly trying to make firearms dangerous to the user and need to be held accountable for their reckless endangerment.

The punctured prime scenario would be the one that worries me the most. Hot gas coming out of a small hole in front of your face. Like a cutting torch.
