The bill specifically requires only semi-automatic handguns to have the microstamping capability. I'm not aware of any semi-autos that use black powder cartridges. What a mess that would be!
There are, of course, revolvers that were made for black powder cartridges, but I know you were probably thinking of cap and ball guns. Let's see them micro-stamp a flintlock!
My understanding is that this bill is identical to the last attempt to promote this foolish idea. As Hubert testified at that public hearing, NO manufacturer has come up with a method to place two micro-stamps on the case. The current microstamping methods, as I understand, place a stamp on the primer, which technically is not the case. Cartridges have four components: Case, primer, propellant and bullet. Since this bill requires two stamps on the case, it's asking for something no technology currently provides. For that, and for many other reasons, it's a stupid and foolish bill and it will go nowhere, just as before.
Nevertheless, it wouldn't be the first time stupid legislation has been passed, so we ought to actively oppose this bill just to be safe.
