Microstamping: A Technology to Help Solve Gun Crimes, Identify Gun Trafficking Networks and Reduce Gun Violence
Report Release Discussion Hosted by the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence

Microstamping technology provides law enforcement with the tools to quickly link firearm cartridge casings found at the scene of a crime to a specific firearm, without having to recover the firearm itself. The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (Ed Fund) is next week releasing a report exploring this effective and reliable technology, and laying out policy recommendations to require firearms manufacturers across the U.S. to incorporate this effective and reliable technology into every new semi-automatic pistols.

To share the report's findings and recommendations, the Ed Fund will on Tuesday, February 2, at 11 a.m. PST / 2 p.m. EST, host an online discussion exploring this groundbreaking technology, a powerful tool to help law enforcement interrupt gun trafficking networks, solve more gun crimes, and build trust within the communities they serve. Panelists will discuss the proven value and tremendous potential of microstamping technology.

The panel will be moderated by Josh Horwitz, Executive Director of EFSGV, joined by:

Kami Chavis, Professor of Law, Director of the Criminal Justice Program, and Vice Provost at Wake Forest University School of Law; Special Advisor to the Executive Director at EFSGV

The Ed Fund has been a national leader in the effort to require microstamping technology to be incorporated into all new models of semi-automatic pistols. But despite its ease of use and potential to revolutionize crime investigation, manufacturers refuse to produce firearms equipped with this important technology.
