New York is one of a number of states where microstamping legislation has been introduced. California and the District of Columbia have passed such legislation, though neither has implemented the law. In fact, in the District of Columbia the police chief Kathy Lanier and Josh Hortwitz, an antigun advocated with the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), both testified in opposition to implementing microstamping.

I find it hard to believe that anyone still considers microstamping a viable technology. Maryland tried it for a decade and never solved a case with it. It's expensive to implement and easy to defeat. Just normal wear and tear renders it useless.
Where is the outrage over tree stand iiunrjes? I think a strict, DC-style regime of prohibition, registration, and Kafka-esque licensing would save some lives here. No tree stands to anyone under 21. Or over 45. No tree stands over eight feet high. Tree stands must be made of non-toxic metals and 100% biodegradable. Tree stands must be completely enclosed by an OSHA-approved cage to prevent occupants, arrows or other projectiles from escaping. Purchasers must pass a medical, psychiatric and criminal background investigation before a license can be issued. Tree stand shooters must wear a parachute while in the tree stand, and must install an inflated airbag at least six feet thick at the base of the tree.Just think of the lives we'll save!
