New Jersey is trying its hardest to become the California of the East Coast – without the good weather, Hollywood, and vineyards. When it comes to gun control, though, New Jersey’s got just about everything California has to offer – even down to the microstamping requirements.
That is, of course, until a federal judge ordered that California couldn’t enforce microstamping mandates earlier this year.
Turns out, it violates the Second Amendment. New Jersey might want to take note.
New Jersey’s Attorney General Matt Platkin announced that his office established standards and an application process for handguns to be included on New Jersey’s microstamping-enabled handgun roster. Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law in 2022 that the state would follow in California’s footsteps to require that handguns be certified that they are equipped with microstamping technology that can regularly impart a code to a cartridge.
There’s just one problem. Every independent study of this nascent “technology” concludes that it does not reliably consistently produce a legible mark on the primer. Put simply, it doesn’t work as advertised. That might be why New York has yet to certify its own microstamping requirement. They’ve been investigating, and so far – nothing. New Jersey will look at the same independent, peer-reviewed studies. And, if they are honest about it, they must conclude it is not feasible.
