people can defeat the system; it wears off; criminals will get casings at gun ranges and use them to frame so-called responsible gun owners; criminals can collect casings; Massad Ayoob and the bigoted NRA Prez Big Jim Porter says microstamping is very bad; and similar gun fancier BS.

Fact is, if it helps identify the perp -- or where a gun came from -- in only a small percentage of cases, it's worth it.

I'm convinced gun fanciers are opposed to microstamping because they can see themselves pulling a Zimmerman, not being able to find the casing, running away, and getting identified later. It's all BS, and responsible gun owners should have no problem with trying microstamping, even if refinements need to be made in the future.
