Tennessee State Senator Opposes Microstamping

[Guest 2HOW]

Tennessee State Senator Opposes Microstamping: The liberal blogosphere is puzzling over Sen. Doug Jackson's bill to thwart basic police work by banning the sale of guns that have been microstamped. We're talking about new technology to link cartridge cases to guns by engraving microscopic codes on the firing pin. It allows the matching of a spent cartridge to a specific gun and provides one additional piece of evidence for investigators to gather in building a criminal case. Sounds reasonable, right? All the more cause to arouse the suspicions of Second Amendment champions like Jackson. Last year, you will doubtlessly recall, he was lampooned on the Colbert Report for his bill to let people go strapped into saloons. Now, he's back in Nashville tirelessly defending our God-given rights, this time against anyone who might try to etch something with a laser onto one of our weapons. Why is Jackson against making it easier for police to catch criminals who shoot people? He thinks it could lead to the dreaded national gun registry that every law-abiding gun owner lies awake nights fretting about…

I think it's all about the Mark of the Beast. Microstamp my gun, man, you're microstamping ME!!

That's my senator he's great.

+1 He has been a great Senator for us! One of the few Dems that I believe is on our side.

they can microstamp all they want. what people forget about is those of us who conduct private firearms deals. those deals are not tracked in any database and the government has no idea where the hell the guns go after they eave the dealers.

last time i checked, i can get a new firing pin for my glock (as many as i want) for very cheap. my suggestion is let them talk that ****. there are millions of legal guns out there everyday, and there is nothing the feds can do about that number guns.

stupid government. they need to stop wasting time and money on petty things and get to taking the criminals off the streets.

my 2 cents.

I'd be changing out the firing pins on any new guns, just on principle.

WTG Sen. Jackson. He's a fine example of a Democrat that "gets it". They're not all like Pelosi.

I'm glad to hear at least one Democrat is on our side.

He is not my Senator, sorry to say, but I sent him an email thanking him for his stance anyway. I gave him my views on a few things. He actually sent me back a personal email that wasn't just a form letter and told me to keep in touch. Now that's the way it is supposed to be.

to Senator Jackson!

You don't need to change the firing pin. Just 5 minutes polishing it with emory cloth.

Why are we still calling them liberals instead of fascisti?
