New York Committee Puts Kibosh on Microstamping
NSSF is pleased to announce that a joint New York state budget committee today voted on a revised budget (AB 9055D) that repeals the ballistics-imaging (COBIS) requirement from state law.
Anti-gun legislators had also tried to include a provision in the bill that would have mandated microstamping throughout the state.
Remington Arms Co. and Kimber Manufacturing, both New York-based manufacturers, voiced strong opposition to microstamping in Albany.
This is a tremendous victory for law-abiding firearm owners, retailers and manufacturers.
NSSF encourages all New Yorkers to contact members of the Joint Budget – Public Protection/Criminal Justice/Judiciary Committee and thank them for their votes today.

While this is good news for
While this is good news for New York residents and businesses, I must confess to feeling just a bit of sadness at the news. I'd entertained hopes that these measures would encourage tax-paying employers like Remington, Kimber, Henry, and other gun makers in New York to relocate to somewhere they are more appreciated, somewhere like my home state of Missouri.
These companies and the jobs and taxes they represent would be more than welcome in quite a few states outside of New York. And I'm certain that Missouri and many other states would offer some tempting incentives to ease the move. I suspect that the realization of that fact had more than a little to do with the budget committee's removal of those anti-gun provisions.
Good thing the federal
Good thing the federal government doesn't make all the laws... Time to move lots of those eggs that *are* in the big basket into the little ones. Return to federalism, recognize states' rights!
