Introduced (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/3458/cosponsors) as the Make Identifiable Criminal Rounds Obvious (MICRO) Act last month,
the proposal would strip the ability of federal firearms licensees
to sell pistols that do not carry the controversial microstamping technology.

Brown’s measure, entered as HR 3458, prohibits FFLs from manufacturing, selling, or transferring semi-auto handguns,
unless they are capable of microstamping ammunition.

...in a lawsuit brought in 2014
the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute,
insisted the legal requirement for semi-auto handguns to mark cartridges with a microscopic array of characters,
that identify the make, model and serial number of the pistol upon firing was, “impossible to accomplish.”
The groups argued that the technology was unproven in actual field conditions
and
easy for criminals to defeat.

KALIFORNICA
With the ongoing litigation in the hands of the California Supreme Court,
and no semi-auto pistols using microstamping for sale by the state,
the number of approved guns on the state’s handgun roster is shrinking.
Eight years ago the number of guns on the roster stood at over 1,400.
Today it holds 766 models, made up mostly of revolvers.

If Amerikwa so gullibly believes CSI is real (https://www.nij.gov/journals/259/pages/csi-effect.aspx), of course they'll come to believe microstamping is real.

Just how would that effect home built guns and reloaded ammo?
