'Ding Dong' NY State DNA firepin stamping/microstamping is DOA as of today, for now!

As other, more wise people have said here, this is an election year, and Gun Rights are ruling (but stay aware and vigilant).

With virtually no public notice or legislative debate, a centerpiece of ex-Gov. George Pataki’s controversial multimillion-dollar anti-gun-crime program was shot dead Friday by Gov. Cuomo’s new state budget.

The budget killed off the so-called CoBis, or Combined Ballistics Identification System, which was rolled out with much fanfare by Pataki in 2000 in what was widely seen as an attempt by the politically ambitious Republican “moderate’’ to appeal to anti-gun Democrats nationally, possibly for a future presidential run.

Pataki claimed CoBis would use state-of-the-art technology to establish a “DNA database for handguns’’ by requiring manufacturers of new semiautomatic pistols to file spent cartridge shells with the State Police, so that their markings could be kept in a traceable registry and compared to any found at crime scenes.

Many Democrats praised the program, and even then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, running for the US Senate in New York, praised Pataki for showing “real leadership in proposing a state-based ballistics program . . . something that needs to be done on a national level.’’

[B]Trouble is, the Pataki program NEVER worked. Despite the hundreds of thousands of spent shells submitted, not one criminal was ever captured using the extensive and costly-to-maintain database, state officials concede.

“We are ending a program that doesn’t solve crimes or make our streets safe,’’ said Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto.[/B]

I know there was an earlier thread about some dingbat NY State Legislature trying to get it passed,it fizzled and was voted against.To be honest any State that votes it in will find out real fast that they can't import guns for their LEO's because Gun Manufacturers said we just won't sell guns to those states,and there are a lot more guns and ammo sold to Civilians then LE departments
