DATE: April 6, 2011
RE: Co-sponsorship of LRB 1589/1 and 1590/1 relating to creating a microstamping requirement for certain handguns, certification of compliance with microstamping requirement, requiring the exercise of rule-making authority, and providing penalties.
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: April 15, 2011
For years, law enforcement agencies have grappled with the difficult and often daunting task of ballistic identification -- matching the gun with the bullet casings found at a particular crime scene. Microstamping represents a quantum leap in ballistic identification, which can further assist law enforcement in its ongoing efforts to reduce crime and curb gun violence.
Microstamping:
For close to a century, law enforcement officials have used cartridge casings found at a crime scene to help identify the particular gun used in a crime. Microstamping represents an evolution in ballistic identification. Microstamping technology uses lasers to make precise and microscopic engravings on internal mechanisms of a gun, such as the breech face and firing pin. When the gun is fired, information identifying the make, model and serial number of the gun is intentionally stamped onto the cartridge. This represents a significant improvement over existing ballistic identification technology, which relies on the unintentional markings that are transferred from the gun to the cartridge case, when a gun is fired. These unintentional markings are then compared to a database of images of "ballistic fingerprints" gathered from other crime scenes. While this information can provide links between crimes, it cannot lead investigators directly to a specific firearm unless that weapon is ultimately recovered. Microstamping, on the other hand, immediately identifies the particular gun and, thus, provides law enforcement officials with a powerful new crime-solving tool.
If you would like to co-sponsor this legislation, please respond to this e-mail or contact Greg Stewart in Rep. Young’s office at 266-3786 or Dave de Felice in Sen.

LRB 1589/1 is the Senate version of the bill, LRB 1590/1 is the Assembly version. Both LRBs are identical. Both are attached.
