Only if you bought a brand-new microstamped gun, and failed to have an accident with a file and the firing pin when cleaning it. Why would you do that?

My favorite SIG and HK are each about 15-20 years old but were well taken are of, and will likely last for a century or more if well taken care of. I think I'll keep shooting and carrying them, thanks.

Not that I think this has a chance in hell of passing, but microstamping isn't the actual aim. It's the fact that if it passed, they'd have to immediately follow with a ban on the sale of used or imported handguns to "prevent crime with unstamped guns". That's what they're counting on. Just watch in CA, because that's what will come next there. Their aim is to get handguns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens through attrition by banning the sale or transfer. Each succeeding generation will have to have their guns destroyed instead of passing them down.

That's what they want.

So the sales of semiautomatics pistols stops on the day it takes effect, and the sales of revolvers increases.

I will.  I'll bet anyone this doesn't get to a floor vote before the election.

I think the bill would have to be reintroduced.
Too early to tell what will happen.  I will still bet it won't make a floor vote.
