Something that adds cost to the price of the firearm, yet can be defeated with two strokes of a file.
Way to go California!
Way to go California!
First: the term "gun violence" has no meaning. Guns are inanimate objects and cannot be violent. This is a term coined by the anti-gun people and the leftist media.
Second: The bill was never intended to solve a crime or deter crime. Its intent was to require a technology that is known not to work so as to effectively stop the manufacture, shipping into and sale of handguns in California.
In that regard the bill will achieve its intended (not stated) goal.

Sounds like this legislation re-writes the prior microstamping law to allow the identifying microstamp be left in only one place rather than the original requirement of two places. This could in theory be a bit easier for a manufacturer to produce. I'd hope that the firearms industry continues to ignore kalifornia and their absurd requirements. The only chance that this goofy state has to overturn this type of legislation is to let it get to the point where arms are no longer commonly available to the people. Once this becomes a constitutional infringement, we can get it all thrown out and get back to normal.
That said....This legislation continues to only effect pistol sales. Luckily, revolvers seem to have again been deemed a non issue.

That's because no evil person in the whole history of evilness has ever used a revolver to do anything evil. They only use evil semi-automatic assault weapons, usually with equally evil large capacity magazines capable of carrying thousands of bullets and firing them all in 2.7 seconds.
I remember years ago there was a scheme where every pistol was test fired at the factory, the brass collected, one piece was put in the box with the pistol, the other was sent to a government agency. The theory being if the pistol was ever used in a crime, the recovered brass would be used to trace the pistol through the chain of ownership. I do not recall this system ever helping to solve a crime and the whole scheme was discontinued.
Stan, that would be my state (NY.... the 'second-worst' state to live in the USA). Surprisingly, a Dem. governor eliminated that program (called COBIS); he did it only for one reason $$$: it was costing a fortune and hadn't assisted in solving a single crime. It took 12 years to wake up (2000-2012) but they finally killed it. I sure wish I could have gotten all the brass that the NYS police had collected...Being a government entity, they probably threw it out instead of taking it to a scrap yard...
Just for fun, here is the news article I found about COBIS and it's termination: Cuomo whacks Pataki gun lawJ.
The whole thing is pretty silly to begin with. If you have a shell casing or a bullet found at the scene of a crime, and you have a suspect with a firearm, it's a pretty simple task to see if they all fit together.....
He is a joke , just like the law. Bad guys will remove it, good guys will move. We need to stop giving Federal funds to ca, ny, until they comply with the constitution, and stop the idiotic laws based on "feelings" instead of fact. Be Safe,

What info does that stamp show anyways?
Nothing to say....
...that hasn't been said already.

An enterprising soul...
I also wonder what info the stamp shows. An enterprising soul could make his own aftermarket pins with sayings like "It wasn't me, I was never there, I'm innocent, etc) and maybe make some coin.

I googled a bit and apparently it's been played around with since 2007. Okay people of CA, what is wrong with you?
Anyway... here's an article I could find on LA Times;
Okay, so we force manufacturers to develop and implement such technology and then charge more for each firearm. No one would do that, they would just stop selling in CA altogether.
Again, it's the people that suffer from such ludicrous laws. Those politicians need to be fired by the people.
And on top of it, it's not like it can't be manipulated by criminals... these people have lost their minds.
This is a joke.
It’s time to end ‘microstamp’ requirement for handguns - Los Angeles Times
Most guns used in crimes are stolen in the first place. Having microstamping on a shell casing is more than likely going to lead police down a dead end path anyway.
Hopefully, the manufactures don't attempt to play into this. The whole ploy with kalifornia is that for every single new pistol added to their silly list, three others will be forced off the list. Everything in this screwy state is driven to get rid of firearms by making them as expensive and hard to get as possible. This only penalizes the honest folks going through legal channels to acquire them.....
