Kerry is pro-gun/hunting/line-fishing in letter to the editor
Please put these comments in your news letter.
The following letter appeared in my local newsletter's letter to the editor on 10/15/04: http://www.recordonline.com/archive/2004/10/fifteen/15leters.htm
Kerry is a strong supporter of sportsmen's rights to chase and fish. He is a lifelong hunter. He is a gun owner and he believes in the right to bear arms. Kerry emphasized his strong belief in the Second Amendment. He has said that he volition "work to ensure that the basic rights of all Americans to legally and safely hunt and fish are protected."
He will support greater land conservation for hunting and fishing, and volition work to prevent the construction of new roads into our remaining roadless areas, specifically to preclude further fragmentation of our forests.
Bush, on the other hand, is clueless on the environment. He has a devastating environmental record which volition have long-term detrimental affects on hunting and angling and our own health. Bush released new guidelines in January 2003 that will reduce federal wetlands protection.
Bush proposed a dominion that would remove mercury emissions from Clean Air Act regulations that have been used to limit the most toxic air pollutants. Mercury contagion in fish is poisoning u.s.a.. Just read the advisories in your 2004 fishing regulation manual.
Pete Snyder
Lake Ariel, Pa., (psnyder@ptdprolog.net)
I called the local board of elections and they accept him listed as a republican and I checked on the internet and plant out that the same letter was sent past the same person to several other papers.
River Reporter: http://www.riverreporter.com/issues/04-10-07/letters.html
Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, PA: http://world wide web.bradenton.com/mld/thetimesleader/news/editorial/letters/9860046.htm
I called dearest old Pete and he said that he had sent the alphabetic character to nigh 5 papers. When I started to talk to him I found out that he was very uninformed because he thought that the assault weapons ban had to do with full-atuo guns, he did not know that Kerry was supported past the anti-gun and anti-hunting groups, he did non know that Kerry had co-sponsored a bill that would ban many electric current semi-auto hunting guns or that Kerry had voted to ban hunting ammo.
When I asked him if he felt the second Subpoena had more to practise with protecting our hunting rights than our right to keep and bear arms he started to talk about the type of guns that they had when the 2d Subpoena was written. I said that you can non talk virtually that because to hold with that y'all would also take to agree that the "Press" at the time simply had hand written letters and everything that was printed was hand printed on a press one at time and the type was manus set. The founding fathers could have never envisioned the modern printing press and the internet, TV and radio and so the 1st Amendment and the "Freedom of the Press" should only employ to hand presses and hand written letters and not to anything that uses computers or electronics.
I besides pointed out that the musket of the time was their assault weapon and that the big barrel and smaller ball was designed to maximize their rate of fire. That in fact a loftier rate of fire was the main goal of musket and the British tried to employ a breach loading black powder gun with a much higher charge per unit of burn than the musket and it was very successful when it was used however the leader of the unit of measurement, who was the biggest proponent of the gun, was killed in battle and afterwards the battle the unit was broken up and the guns turned back in and never used once more. If the Americans or British could have made a machine gun using the technology that they had they would have made them and used them.
Pete'due south principal points when I talked to him was the state of war and the surround and that he was looking at the whole film and not just our gun/hunting/fishing rights. I said that the points that he made in the letter of the alphabet simply dealt with our hunting/fishing rights and the 2nd Amendment. He said he supports the 2d Subpoena as long every bit the gun are the ones that the government approves. He said the he would rather take Kerry as President and fight the anti-gun groups and anti-hunting groups rather than vote for Bush and not have to worry about our ability to hunt or our 2d Amendment rights and fight with the Bush assistants to improve their ecology record.
The question is who will the pro-gun/hunting/fishing groups take more influence with?
- Pres. Bush who has supported united states of america and who we have supported, to improve his ecology record or
- Pres. Kerry, who has never supported united states and who we have never supported, to not back up or sign some other expanded gun ban or more than hunting/fishing regulation pushed and proposed by his anti-gun/hunting/fishing friends who have given Kerry a ration of 100%.
Please try to write their local newspapers when y'all see letters like this.
Costume gets kid cuffed, Pine Bush senior had replica of Civil State of war musket for re-enactment
October 13, 2004, Past Christian M. Wade, Times Herald-Record
UPDATE: Things are non as clear cut as they seem. I appears that the rule is that all blanks are suppose to be turned in at the end of the consequence and that is hard to exercise if you get out early on. Those and other problems aside, information technology looks similar the kid was arrested improperly because he did not have a gun and that is a requirement if they desire to arrest you for having a gun on school grounds. This is the blazon of arrest that you tin can bring a law conform for because they could have taken him back to the station and looked up the police force and looked at the rifle to detect out if information technology was a existent gun or a blank shooting replica.
Pine Bush – Final weekend, Joshua Phelps was fighting Confederate soldiers with a Civil War-era musket in his arms, re-enacting the epic 1863 Battle of Chancellorsville.
When the Pine Bush Loftier School senior was done charging around the grassy fields behind Montgomery's Brick Firm Museum, he tossed his musket, a bayonet and Marriage soldier's bluish uniform in his machine and forgot about it.
Yesterday, a security baby-sit at the loftier school saw the barrel of the musket. He called the cops. The discovery by the guard sparked a chain of events that got the B-boilerplate student arrested, suspended from schoolhouse for five days and facing weapons charges. He could exist expelled from school and even jailed.
Phelps, 17, was sitting in study hall when the security guard told him to come to Assistant Primary Aaron Hopmayer's office. When he got in that location he was told that a burglarize had been spotted in his car. He wasn't concerned. He knew they would understand. "I actually thought it was kind of stupid, at first, when I heard it was about the musket," Joshua said. "I didn't think I'd get arrested over it."
He went with them to the parking lot and let them search his automobile. They pulled the musket from his dorsum seat along with a uniform and Ceremonious War-era accessories. Minutes later, he was arrested by Town of Crawford police, handcuffed, and charged with fourth-caste criminal possession, a misdemeanor. The cops confiscated the gun. His mother, Valerie Michaels, is outraged. "They arrested my son for having a Civil War costume," she said yesterday. "The school district has blown this incident totally out of proportion. It'south ludicrous."
The musket was part of the teenager'south Ceremonious State of war-era costume, which included his uniform – shoes, leather belt, jacket, chapeau, powder keg and a leather cartridge box.
Over the weekend, Phelps participated in the re-enactment of the May 1863 battle of Chancellorsville at the Brick House Museum, an annual event hosted past the 124th New York State Volunteers, the famed "Orange Blossoms." The re-enactors model themselves afterwards the original regiment, which was mustered into action from Orangish County in the summertime of 1862. The unit of measurement would have role in the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg the following twelvemonth – central conflicts in the war.
Michaels said she understands how school officials would be concerned, in the postal service-Columbine era, after discovering the musket on school grounds. But she said once they learned the musket was a replica, they should have given him a break. "I don't understand why the school wants to button this then far," she said. "There are bigger problems at that high schoolhouse than this. It just doesn't brand any sense."
Town of Crawford police force Chief Daniel McCann disagreed. Replica or not, he said, the musket could have been used to fire a projectile, such as a pocket-size rock. He said officers found 14 to 15 rolled cartridges with black powder, and a bayonet. "I know this might appear to be a minor affair, but information technology'due south not," McCann said. "The musket was found in his motorcar on the high school grounds and could have been used."
Pine Bush Superintendent RoseMarie Stark called yesterday's incident a "student bailiwick matter" and declined annotate.
School officials say bloody massacres similar the April 20, 1999, 1 at Columbine High School, have prompted country and federal governments to enact laws most weapons in schools.
Many states take a zero-tolerance stance, meaning a false musket that fires blanks carries the same penalty as a loaded AK-47 assail rifle. In New York, each case must take into account the weapon, the circumstances and the pupil's history. "At that place is a business organization among schoolhouse districts, fifty-fifty with replicas or fake guns," said David Ernst, a spokesman for the state School Boards Clan.
In Pine Bush-league, the loftier school had recruited students to go involved in the Civil War re-enactors club. Phelps, who joined the Civil War Lodge a few months ago, said he was looking to become more involved in extra-curricular activities, hoping information technology would boost his standing on higher applications. He found an ad for the club in the school district'southward annual catalog. Afterward joining, the Orange Blossoms, who are affiliated with the club, gave him a uniform, the replica musket that shoots blanks, a pulverisation keg and a Union soldier's uniform.
"If they [the school commune] were really and so agape that a replica musket could be used to shoot someone, and then why are they giving them out to 17-year-olds?" Michaels asked.
OCFSC Dinner a large success
Orangish County Federation of Sportsmen'south Clubs, Inc. held it'due south annual dinner at Kohl's Highland Firm in Middletown and it was a great success. All of the clubs in Orange County were represented and many of the local politicians who are seeking role showed up this twelvemonth. We had many bucket raffles and 2 special BONUS Prize tables. Nosotros as well had two drawings for the 'You win, You pick the gun y'all win from the "Wall of Guns"' with the third drawing a 50/50 for $300.

Soft-spoken land abet will be missed
Past Bill Conners, For the Poughkeepsie Journal
One of the leading voices in the motion to protect several 1000 acres of country in the Mid-Hudson region from evolution has been stilled. Rudy Vallet of Goshen, Orange County, died terminal weekend following a long boxing with cancer.
Vallet's name has long been associated with sporting and conservation causes, just if at that place is one issue where his proper noun jumps to the forefront it has to be the decades long boxing by SPARC -- the Stewart Park and Reserve Coalition -- to salve the Stewart Buffer Lands from the ravages of developer's bulldozers.
At present known as Stewart State Forest, more than 5,000 acres immediately to the west of Stewart Airport have been prepare aside equally park land. It is possible that the issue of a pending lawsuit brought by SPARC and other interested parties which would block the construction of an access road could expand the protected acreage.
The state had taken the belongings from hundreds of landowners in the early 1970s using eminent domain laws -- the right of regime to advisable private property for public use.
In a case that is pending earlier the United States Supreme Court right at present, the question to exist resolved is whether the regime should exist allowed to seize private property and then convert it to commercial use.
I had the privilege of serving with Vallet on the Department of Environmental Conservation Region 3 Fish and Wild fauna Management Board. As I watched and listened to Vallet in his capacity as chair of that board, it was easy to see how he could capture the hearts and minds of the students he taught during his long career as a teacher.
Vallet's was a business firm yet gentle voice in an loonshit where it sometimes seems that the loudest voice wins. That wasn't his manner. Fifty-fifty when yous were arguing with him, it didn't feel like you were. He knew how to stand his footing and make his point, and he knew how to do it in a non-confrontational way.
Responding to criticism that SPARC was driving upwards unemployment past blocking the access route and the structure jobs that would come with information technology, Vallet countered that but as many jobs would be bachelor if an access road were built that didn't destroy valuable park land.
For all the folks who served with Vallet in the Orange County Federation of Sportsmen, SPARC, the Fish and Wild fauna Direction Board and the many other organizations that were lucky enough to captured his attending, information technology will be difficult to have that he will no longer be that at the table to make sense out of nonsense. He had a manner of doing that. He could, in a very gentlemanly fashion and in a vocalization not one octave higher than normal, boil arguments down to their most bones elements and then get anybody to at least heed to each other in spite of the differing opinions being expressed.
Vallet would be the kickoff person to signal out that he was not the only soldier in the boxing to salvage the buffer lands, that it was and continues to exist a battle that must be fought past an army of conservationists. But every ground forces needs its generals, among whom I count Vallet.
Rudy Vallet's legacy volition not be simply what he did, only also how he did information technology.
For my piece of work on OCShooters.com I was honour the Frank Martino Leadership Honour by SCOPE. I gave a brusque acceptance speech thanking my married woman and urging others to start a similar web site for their own counties. Information technology is important that if someone goes to Google to search for hunting, fishing, shooting sports, clubs, laws, stores, events and other outdoor related activities that they be able to observe something that gives them local information.
NY DEC announces impact of Hurricane Ivan on NY's Pheasant stocking program
Gordon R. Batcheller of the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation Partitioning of Fish, Wild fauna & Marine Resources has announced the touch of Hurricane Ivan on NY's Pheasant stocking plan. Heavy rain acquired by the remnants of Hurricane Ivan caused the boosted mortality at the Reynolds Game Farm in Ithaca, NY and has forced a slight reduction in the number of pheasants available for the NY Land pheasant stocking program. The total resource allotment this flavour will be 23,400 instead of planned 25,000 with each region receiving 100 fewer cocks and 100 fewer hens. 2500 to 3000 lost because of Fracis and Ivan.
Affect OF NY'Southward AWB AFTER THE Stop OF THE FEDERAL Law
UPDATE-- I have been looking an the NY police force and as far every bit I can tell it does not include the requirement of mark magazines, information technology just bans; "Large Chapters AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICE" MEANS A Magazine, Belt, Pulsate, FEED STRIP, OR SIMILAR DEVICE, MANUFACTURED AFTER SEPTEMBER THIR TEENTH, Nineteen HUNDRED Xc-FOUR ..." NY was relying on the federal ban that required that magazines be marked. Provisions for allowing law, war machine and others to have +10 magazines were included equally changes to Sec 265.20. Exemptions.
This police force is going to be a large trouble to gun owners in NY and will exist almost impossible to enforce and will betrayal gun owners to risk. These problems will only become worse as time goes on. I am not suggesting that anyone break the electric current police. I am pointing out that it is nearly incommunicable to enforce.
The trouble lies in the fact that none of the new guns or magazines will have whatever new markings on them to show when they were made. While gun makers and others will know that they are not allowed to ship new product into the state, it is going to be incommunicable to prevent someone from bringing items into the state when they move into the state or gun dealers who go to gun shows. If you buy a new or used gun that falls under the current NY AWB and then you will have to cheque to make certain that information technology was fabricated Before 9/13/94. If information technology was made without the features that make it an AWB and those features were added after 9/13/94 and so your gun is still illegal. How is anyone going to be able to tell a legal AW, (Pre nine/13/94,) from an illegal AW? The only manner is to check the serial number with the gun maker to find out when the gun was made.
What about regular capacity magazines? Magazines that hold over ten rounds that were made before 9/13/94 are legal. Magazines made after 9/13/04 are illegal but the makers are not required past whatever federal law to marking the magazines and states do not have the power to require a maker to marker all of their new production. Slight changes are fabricated over fourth dimension as improvements in design or in manufacturing so some pocket-size modify is a spring design, material used or other pocket-size change can show when a mag was made, HOWEVER, nothing in the law prevents a industry from repairing a magazine and repairs are not tracked and so no one tin can really ever say that the +ten mag you have was non sent back for repair by the original owner.
And so I tin go to some other state and purchase a 17 circular magazine. for my Glock 17 and the police will have no fashion to evidence when my new magazine was made. But let'southward say that yous take a Glock 32, (.357 Cal.,) and you are out of town or at a gun prove and detect a xiii round magazine and buy it. The Glock 32 was not introduced until 1998 so no +10 magazines for it are legal. Now let'south say that thirty years from now you sell the gun to someone else, how are they suppose to know that the magazine is illegal?
I have talked to Glock, S&W, and Ruger and they all say that they are not marking their magazines. I asked Ruger what they do for NY and other states that have some local AWB and they said that they are mark those magazines sold to police and other qualified buyers that are to exist shipped to those states. Some accept the notice, "THIS Detail CANNOT Exist SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK" on their web site.
I take talked to some NY State Law in Albany and they are enlightened that some parts of the law are going to be incommunicable to enforce and they have no plans to do annihilation at present. If you have a +x magazine, yeah, the police can give you lot a hard fourth dimension but I cannot see how they tin ever prove when it was made. (And the police could have always given you a hard time in the last ten years.) The main problem is going to be if you have a gun that was introduced after 9/13/94 and so no +10 mags were ever available. 20 years from now if you purchase a Glock in .357 that comes with a +x mag. from someone who owed it legally in PA only then moved to NY and kept the magazine, how is anyone going to know that the +ten mags is illegal?
The gun ban has ended for most of the nation only thanks to Gov. Mario Pataki NY will yet be safe.

Pataki Veto's mandatory wearing of Orange Bill
I am returning herewith, without my blessing, the following neb:
Senate Bill Number 6878-B, entitled: "AN Human action to amend the environmental conservation law in relation to requiring certain persons hunting for big game to wear fluorescent orange outer garments" NOT APPROVED
This neb would better the Environmental Conservation Law to require every person hunting for large game (deer and bears) with a burglarize, shot-gun, pistol or revolver to wear a minimum of 400 square inches of Fluorescent orangish material above the waist or a hat or cap of such cloth. The bill would establish a civil penalization of not less than $10 nor more than $50 for violation of the requirement. The Department of Environmental Conservation (December) would be required to provide find of the requirement in the State Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide that is provided to hunters when they receive their hunting licenses. The bill would accept issue on January i, 2005.
Although the sponsors' objective of promoting hunting safety is laudable, I have not been persuaded that the neb would achieve that objective. While I fully support and encourage December'due south standing efforts to educate hunters and promote the voluntary wearing of blaze orange, the key to hunting safety is for hunters to know their target and what lies beyond. A wide variety of not-hunters, such as hikers, birders, campers, loggers, horseback riders and Environmental Conservation Officers, share our Country's natural environment with hunters and generally exercise not wear blaze orange. Thus, while it is inappropriate and dangerous for hunters to assume that they are articulate to shoot in the absence of seeing blaze orangish, I am concerned that the beak's statutory mandate could unfortunately lead less careful hunters to brand that erroneous supposition. Moreover, based on the empirical data presented on hunting prophylactic in our neighboring Northeast states -- some of which mandate the wearing of blaze orange and others of which encourage information technology -- it does not appear that mandating blaze orangish will, by itself, increment hunting prophylactic. Based on the foregoing, I am constrained to disapprove the neb.
The neb is disapproved. (signed) GEORGE Due east. PATAKI
SCOPE holds Almanac Dinner
On September 17 in Buffalo, NY, Scope held its annual meeting and dinner. Attention as invitee speakers were Harold Volkmer, (D), Member of Congress 1967-1997, Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President- NRA, Sandy Froman, 1st Vice President - NRA and others. The nutrient was good and they had some great prizes including some guns and bucket raffles and a silent sale and a regular auction.
Wayne LaPierre gave a great speech near the UN and how they many countries are organizing to support a treaty on "Small Arms." One would think that your hunting rifle or shotgun or your target 22 Cal handgun would not be included but information technology is. The UN thought is that all firearms should be registered and highly regulated and the US'southward second Subpoena has to go for the greater proficient of the world because our gun rights are the only thing that is causing death and devastation with guns across the globe.
Representative Harold L. Volkmer, (D.,) talked about the Volkmer-McClure nib - the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, that was signed into police by Pres. Reagan.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2004
NRA AND SCOPE, SYNONYMS FOR FREEDOM
Telescopic INC. (Shooter'southward Committee On Political Education) held information technology's annual feast on September 17 with the theme of honoring our military personnel who served to keep America Free. County Legislator, Chuck Swanick and Boston Boondocks Clerk, David Shenk attended, Swanick in his wearing apparel compatible and Shenk in his BDU's. Banquet Chairman, Mary Jo Picone, made special mention of those in the agile reserve and the veterans who served on active duty. They received the proper recognition for the sacrifices they made in the defense and protection of our country. County Legislator, Timothy Wroblewski received the Legislator of the Twelvemonth Laurels for his successful effort moving the resolution in the County Legislature opposing the Pataki proposal to make pistol permits renewable and charging outrageous fees in the process, creating a de facto confiscation past taxation. The crowd of nearly 300 was treated to three outstanding speakers.
NRA Executive Vice President Wayne La Pierre spoke to the theme of the banquet. He discussed the need to be vigilant and particularly to beware of the plans of the United nations to disarm the citizens of all the countries. The NRA is an NGO, (Not Governmental Organization) and opposes all plans to write a treaty which would give the UN control over pocket-size arms worldwide. Since a treaty can supplant the Constitution, that would make our 2d Amendment moot. He promised that not merely would NRA oppose such a treaty, but would use all its power and influence to prevent it from being passed. He promised that NRA would always exist the leader in protecting our Constitutional freedoms and would never abandon the fight to forestall erosion of our Nib of Rights.
The 2nd speaker, Harold Volker, who was the co-sponsor of the Volker-McClure Firearms Owner Protection Act, described the tough and lengthy process to laissez passer legislation that regained some of the rights of gun owners that were destroyed by the 1968 Gun Control Deed. His bill allows hunters and target shooters to transport their firearms interstate so they tin become hunting or compete in competitions. Information technology also eliminated some of the very onerous restrictions regarding the purchase of guns and ammunition. His description of the roadblocks the chairman of the Judiciary Commission placed in his mode gave the audience an insight into the ability a chairman wields in Congress. He finally had to exercise an "end effectually" and initiate a discharge petition which meant a majority of the Congressmen had to sign the petition to go the neb on the floor to be debated. Information technology worked and he won. It would seem that in the Congress, procedure takes precedent over principles and it takes dedicated representatives, in many cases, to provide the pathway to justice and fairness.
Sandra Froman, First Vice-President of NRA, was the final speaker and reminded the audience that the NRA is the oldest Civil RIGHTS organization in America. She spoke of the origin of NRA which was founded before long after the Civil State of war to teach marksmanship skills to civilians so that they would be much better prepared in time of war or other conflict. She defined the legal definition of the organized and unorganized militia. The virtually notable sit-in of the "unorganized militia" was the example of the passengers flight on 9/11 who prevented the terrorist'due south plan of crashing the airplane into the Capitol. These passengers really became the unorganized militia as they stopped the terrorists. Their brave actions caused the aeroplane to crash in Pennsylvania and saved Washington, DC. The unorganized militia was comprised of the heroes who rose to the occasion and did their duty to protect America. They didn't wear uniforms, but they displayed the courage to fight for freedom and they defined the concept of the militia for all Americans to follow.
All speakers received a standing ovation by a grateful audience. Nobody left the banquet without understanding that the NRA and Telescopic are synonymous with the definition of Freedom. -thirty- Comments to Mr. Schroeder can be fabricated to: The Front Folio, 2703 S Park Ave., Lackawanna, NY 14218
NRA Endorses George W. Bush for President
Wednesday, Oct 13, 2004
FAIRFAX, VA -- The National Burglarize Association`south Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed George W. Bush for President of the United states of america.
"NRA stands with President George W. Bush on Nov 2nd," said Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president. "If you believe in freedom and want to preserve the 2nd Amendment for future generations, vote to re-elect President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
"In the United states of america we take a long tradition of hunting and sport shooting," stated LaPierre. "President Bush and Vice President Cheney both love to hunt and fish. They know the Constitution gives people the personal right to behave arms. And, they desire to pass the values of our Nation on to a new generation."
NRA Chief Lobbyist Chris Due west. Cox added, "4 years ago, NRA members went to the polls and stopped Al Gore`s plans to continue the war on America`southward gun owners. But now, we face a greater threat than even the Clinton/Gore Assistants posed. John Kerry and John Edwards are the most anti-gun presidential team in our land`s history.
"Law-abiding gun owners must empathise the importance of the 2004 elections for the Second Subpoena," Cox said. "America has a clear choice; to side with a candidate who has a long record of protecting our gun rights, or with a candidate who has cast more 50 votes against gun owners and sportsmen."
"The future of our freedom is at stake on November 2. Join with us, and ask your family unit, friends and beau sportsmen to join with united states, in voting for a freer and stronger America. Vote to re-elect President George Westward. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney," ended LaPierre.

California Attorney Full general Bill Lockyer sees hope in light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation carving all ammo
Past James P. Sweeney, COPLEY NEWS SERVICE,October 6, 2004
SACRAMENTO – For years, manufacturers take branded reckoner chips and airline parts with microscopic codes that identify each piece and protect confronting counterfeiting and theft.
The figures, etched with a laser and as modest as the width of ii human hairs, are nearly invisible to the naked eye but hands read with an electronic magnifying drinking glass.
After a promising internal written report, California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has concluded the same high-tech tracking organisation could exist a powerful new weapon against crime, particularly gun violence.
Lockyer wants to make all handgun ammunition sold in the land. The ammunition and data nearly people who buy it would be electronically recorded with the same system now used for gun sales and stored in a database bachelor to police enforcement.
Lockyer and his top firearms good have briefed police enforcement leaders on the system and the Democratic attorney general is expected to introduce it at an anti-crime summit this week in Los Angeles.
The motion figures to impact off the next big fight over gun-control in California, which already has some of the most stringent gun laws in the nation.
"Most of the guns used in crime – lxxx percent – are handguns," said Randy Rossi, director of the firearms division at the country Section of Justice. "Nosotros desire to come across how well this works and give it a sunset. If information technology doesn't work, abandon it. But in that location is no reason in the world to believe it won't work."
The plan would require putting serial numbers on all handgun armament possessed in public, sold or imported into the state. To accommodate police-constant sport shooters and those who reload their own cartridges, anyone on their way to or from a shooting range or hunting trip would exist exempt. It'southward unclear how this provision would work, with supporters acknowledging that details on many aspects of the system need to be worked out.
The microstamping system under study was adult past a Washington land visitor, Ravensforge. The visitor engraves trounce casings and bullets with a matching serial number. All of the cartridges in a box packaged for retail sale would have the same series number, which could be scanned and linked to a purchaser's driver license number, Rossi said.
The state's more than i,600 licensed firearms dealers already have the electronic equipment to record the data – scanning the lawmaking on the ammunition box and electronically swiping the commuter license – in the aforementioned way they collect required personal data for gun transactions.
Rossi initially was skeptical that a bullet's number would be legible after information technology was fired.
A exam of 200 rounds fired from close range into walls, motorcar doors, bulletproof vests, rubber matting and a gel designed to simulate a human target convinced him the technology is sound.
Of 181 slugs recovered – including soft lead bullets that largely flattened out – the tiny code could be read on 180 of them with a simple electronic magnifying scope.
"Nosotros tried to show this doesn't piece of work," he said. "To take it work virtually every time, I was very surprised."
Lockyer seized on the system every bit an alternative to ballistics fingerprinting, which relies on unique, microscopic imperfections in beat casings and slugs. The attorney general angered gun-control advocates last year when his function concluded that ballistics imaging required a massive database and would evidence ineffective unless launched every bit part of national organization.
By tracking armament, which Rossi said has a relatively short shelf life, the state could develop a much broader database than an alternative that applies only to new handguns.
The chaser general's aides concede the microstamping proposal faces daunting political and financial obstacles. Manufacturers, gun-control and gun-rights activists – none of whom were involved in the initial study – are raising questions.
Gary Mehalik of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association for manufacturers of ammunition and firearms, said the caliber of guns used in whatever exam could have been a critical factor in the results.
The country tested 9 millimeter, .38, .40 and .45 caliber handguns. No .22 caliber weapons were used and microstamping has not yet been applied to .22 caliber ammunition, the near common used by sport shooters.
Rossi and Paul Back-scratch, a lobbyist for Ravensforge, said the serial numbers could be applied for a penny or less per cartridge. But Mehalik predicted it would be expensive to add together a manufacturing process that matches casings and bullets, and so packages them in a box with the same code number.
"Nosotros'd have to clarify the costs, but I can tell you that information technology would create a logistical nightmare inside the electric current production systems," Mehalik said.
A leading gun-rights grouping dismissed the proposal as an ill-conceived, loftier-tech version of gun registration.
"The applied science is certainly at that place, only all of the technology tin be defeated by anyone who wants to defeat information technology," said Sam Paredes of the 30,000-member Gun Owners of California.
Many gun owners make their own ammunition and reuse atomic number 82 and vanquish casings, Paredes said.
"Gang members in Due south Central or Eastward Los Angeles, they're going to know this ammunition is tainted," Paredes said. "Then they're going to pay somebody a picayune bit of money to load some armament for them and they're clean."
But they won't be legal if defenseless with unmarked ammo in public, Rossi said.
"Nosotros could become some gang bangers who all suddenly take an interest and study reloading . . . but I hardly recall then," Rossi said. "These are the same people that won't even bother to put a glove on when they're committing a crime or put some mud on their license plate.
"This won't solve every criminal offense, but information technology will solve a lot of crimes."

Handgun Control, (aka Brady Center,) looses lawsuit confronting Ruger

October 1, 2004 Lawyers from the Brady Center to Prevent Handgun Violence Legal Action Project represented two New Jersey constabulary officers had filed a lawsuit against Sturm, Ruger & Co. after the ii police officers were shot by a felon in illegal possession of a Ruger handgun. The lawsuit was dismissed by Kanawha County Circuit Judge Irene Berger in Due west Virginia. (That's the last place a retail shop legally sold the firearm, following a mandatory criminal groundwork cheque). Berger said it would require "a real stretch" to make the gun maker responsible because the gun had originally been sold to an Ohio wholesaler. By the time information technology got to the pawnshop that final sold information technology, it had lawfully changed easily 4 times.
Handgun Control, (aka Brady Center,) argued that Sturm, Ruger was to arraign for the 2001 criminal shooting even though Sturm, Ruger had two years before (1999) lawfully sold the firearm to a federally licensed Ohio benefactor, which in plough sold information technology to a federally licensed Due west Virginia dealer. The dealer then lawfully sold the firearm to an ordained Baptist minister, who passed a federally mandated criminal groundwork cheque of FBI records. The government minister later gave the firearm to gun collector friend, who was legally permitted to own the firearm. That private subsequently pawned the firearm at a West Virginia pawnshop. The pawnshop, following a criminal background check, sold the used firearm to a woman, Tammi Songer, who was able to pass the federal groundwork check. But Tammi Songer broke the police force by making the illegal 'straw purchase' on behalf of James Gray, a convicted drug felon from New Jersey . Gray illegally trafficked the firearm over state lines into New Jersey where it unlawfully traded hands in the criminal underground and ultimately ended up in the easily of Shuntez Everett, a career criminal. Everett used the firearm to shoot the police officers and perished in the gunfight with them. Grayness, the convicted drug felon who trafficked the gun, and the woman who illegally bought it for him, were prosecuted and served time for their offenses.
A clerk at the Volition'due south Jewelry and Loan Co., the pawnshop that sold the gun and 11 others to taxi driver Tammi Songer even though another man, James Grayness, picked out the guns and carried them out the door, settled with the officers for $1 million in June.. Songer later said Grey - a felon who could not legally buy guns - had paid her cash to human action equally his purchaser. where the gun was sold,
Bush Challenged on D.C. Gun Bill
Democrats Push for Stand on Repeal of Weapons Bans
By Spencer S. Hsu, Washington Post Staff Author, Tuesday, September 28, 2004; Page A04
The House is going to vote on the DC gun ban so 2 anti-gun House members have something to say to add to bailiwick.
Ii senior Business firm Democrats chosen on President Bush-league yesterday to declare whether he supports a beak that would repeal virtually all of the District'southward gun laws, equally GOP House leaders scheduled a vote on the measure tomorrow.
...
In their letter to Bush, Reps. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) and John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) said the bill would "undo many of the security measures that accept been put into place" in the nation's capital since the 2001 terrorist attacks.
They wrote that if the beak became law, "someone could legally possess a semiautomatic [.50-quotient] sniper rifle and armor piercing armament in an apartment overlooking . . . Connecticut Avenue, a mutual road for motorcades.
"Ice cream and hot domestic dog vendors [on the Mall] could be armed with set on weapons. . . . A Capitol Colina resident who lived beyond the street from the U.S. Supreme Court could sit on his porch with a fully-loaded semiautomatic Uzi Carbine." ...
Polls vow to revive gun ban , Taking on assault rifles
BY AMY SACKS and CRISTINA SILVA, DAILY NEWS WRITERS

Local lawmakers pledged yesterday to work to reinstate the recently expired ban on attack weapons. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said he hasn't given upwards trying to renew the ban, which fell by the wayside two weeks agone.
"Not standing the ban on assault weapons is one of the neat disgraces this year," Schumer (D-Due north.Y.) said, promising that members of Congress will accept up the cause during its next session.
A story in yesterday's Daily News showed how the once-banned weapons tin can pierce through concrete and even some impenetrable vests.
And some constabulary enforcement officials fright the powerful guns, once used to guard drug dens during the pinnacle of the crack epidemic, could make their way back into New York City.
"The Daily News talked about people having AR-15s," Schumer said. "Nobody needs an AR-xv. These were designed every bit weapons of war. ... They should exist abolished."
Mayor Bloomberg and Police force Commissioner Raymond Kelly aggressively lobbied to keep the 10-twelvemonth-sometime ban in place.
Before this month, the Republican mayor took the unusual pace of taking President Bush to task for his inaction.
"I recollect every congressman and every senator has a responsibility to stand up," Bloomberg told reporters. "And I call back the President can do more."
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn) accused the President of cozying up to the National Rifle Clan.
"Every police organization and even Commissioner Kelly said these will make the streets less safe," Weiner said. "In the showdown betwixt the NRA and the overwhelming bulk of the population and police officials, President Bush chose the NRA."
Date published: 9/22/2004
CHASTISING PRESIDENT BUSH for allowing the ban on attack weapons to lapse, Sen. Kerry charged in a spoken language on Sept. 10 that "America's streets volition not exist safe because of a pick George Bush is making" and that "in the al-Qaida manual on terror, they were telling people to go out and buy attack weapons, to come to America and buy assault weapons." Furthermore, "Every law-enforcement officeholder in America doesn't want united states selling assault weapons in the streets of America," he claimed.
Strong words from the Democratic candidate. Simply at present nosotros read in the October upshot of Outdoor Life that Mr. Kerry himself may take one of these nefarious firearms. Asked if he was a gun owner and, if and so, what was his favorite gun, the human from Massachusetts said, "My favorite gun is the M-xvi that saved my life and that of my coiffure in Vietnam. I don't own one of those now, merely one of my reminders of my service is a Communist Chinese assault burglarize."
An assail rifle? Egads! And then what is Mr. Kerry'due south philosophy, exactly? Outlaw guns, and then just lawmakers can have them?
UPDATE
Information technology turns out that the Kerry people are saying that some underling goofed when filling out the form and what Kerry is really talking about is a bolt action Russian rifle, a Mosin-Nagant rifle, that was used every bit a sniper rifle. Odd that they would mix up a AK47 with a bolt activeness and the fact that he got it through private sale, something that Kerry wants to ban. CLICK Here TO SEE THE NSSF Commodity
