Yesterday we received a comment on the "Microstamping Ammunition" article from Todd Lizotte, the man who invented the technology.
In his comment, he invited questions. So we spent a while throwing out perhaps 60% of the questions which came most immediately to mind, and settled back to allow him time to respond.
We did not receive his reply.
No response from Mr. Lizotte.
Not tonight.
Well, it takes a while to catch up with your email in-basket. We can understand why it would take a while to formulate responses.
There were a lot of questions, and scenarios described, and they were framed in an open format, so it was not a matter of simply saying "yes" or "no" to each question.
While we're waiting, here is the introduction to the email which I posted to Mr. Lizotte:

I am grateful for both your concern, and your willingness to discuss the issues. May we use these points of apparent contention as an opportunity to open a dialogue?
Looking at Microstamping as a legal concern, rather than a strictly technological concern, gun owners (who I vainly claim to represent) want to know more about the details of the process in both the manufacturing and the societal ramifications of accepting Microstamping as a legal requirement. It is my hope that you are willing to openly represent the technological end of the discussion, and that you are willing to allow me to publish your views in an interview format.
Unless you specifically forbid me to publish your comments, may I take it that your responses are tacit authorization to publish them on my weblog?
(More tomorrow, when I will probably receive Mr. Lizotte's first reply of many.)
