Looks like that good ole Oklahoma conservative democrat Dan boren and the NRA are at it again
Make sure to send in your dues with your firing pin when you get the retro fit
And, if I may pile on a bit here, this has been known since July by those that are paying attention. See the link below from the National Shooting Sports Federation to learn the facts, including Boren's involvement.

Looks like I pissed off a few NRA guys huh? Good, the NRA is gonna sell us down the river so at least we will know who to thank.
Nice use of my Sig, but you should look at past NRA involvement in gun control before you try and flip that one around
Oh and poke I have been paying attention but the closer we get to election people need to know who the Oklahoma democrats really are. They are as bad as the NRA about pretending to pro freedom

And just how will that rigor be performed? Will the NRA - and me by proxy - actually attempt to develop that technology to be able to arrive at the "intended" consequence? What if the tests conclude that micro-stamping CAN be shown to be reliable?
[size=+1]The NRA should not be engaged in any activity that could in any way infringe upon, further infringe upon, or flirt with infringing upon the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. [/size]
If the NRA stumbles upon viable micro-stamping, are the board members of the NRA going to endorse it? Won't the anti-gun-rights crowd jump all over that and use the NRA's "findings" against the NRA and against the RKBA?
If there isn't a major change in the hierarchy at the NRA - starting with the dismissal of Wayne LaPierre - with a major shift in policy toward actually protecting the RKBA, all I've attempted to effect that change from within will have been for naught and I'll drop membership in the NRA. The SAF has been much more effective, and our local gun rights organizations can do as good a job - if not better - of training and inspiring our youth and keeping our state governments in line with the Second Amendment.

Not an NRA member here so you didn't bother me any. It does bother me that someone who claims to be paying attention posts this info about microstamping like it is breaking news that will swing some votes is everybody just knew.
Since you seem to not want to read the link from NSSF, there has already been a study for the state of California that showed microstamping does not give the results the anti-gunners believe. The new, national study, through the National Academy of Science, will have to recognize the earlier CA work as part of the research process. The NAS will conduct further research and report results back to Congress. Ideally, it will validate the CA study and provide more in-depth research to support it. The Congressional committee will then take notice of the research results as part of legislative process and that should be where it ends, assuming the adults are in charge by then.
I'm not in Boren's district so I have no say in his re-election. My observation is that he gets it right for the most part but I do have several, significant points of disagreement with him and his national party leadership (Pelosi/Reid/Obama). If the Dems are removed from the majority in Congress, things will be able to be turned back and Boren will have no effective pressure on him from his leadership on legislation.
Really thinking about ditching the NRA and joining GOA. I am willing to let one or two things slip but the NRA is beginning to trend in the wrong direction. Only thing is that I kinda like American Rifleman but I suppose I could just subscribe to G & A and get the same thing more or less.
