Remember, gun grabbers are not coming for your guns, they just want to something something mumble mumble and this type of law helps
(Breitbart) The Supreme Court of California upheld a micro-stamping requirement for semiautomatic handguns Thursday — even though the technology does not exist to allow manufacturers to comply.
The Associated Press summed up the court’s ruling: “The California Supreme Court says state laws cannot be invalidated on the grounds that complying with them is impossible.â€
The micro-stamping requirement, or “bullet stamping law,†as it is sometimes called, requires that semiautomatic handguns sold in California have a special, one-of-kind marker affixed to their firing pins so a special fingerprint is left on each spent shell casing. The idea is to give law enforcement a means to take shell casings from a crime scene and trace them back to the firearm’s owner.
Many problems exist with this proposed scenario. First, the technology does not exist. No manufacturer who is importing guns into California makes a firearm that puts a special mark on spent shell casings.
Second, if the technology did exist, it would easy to defeat by simply scratching the mark off the firing pin or replacing the factory firing pin.
Third, an even easier way to defeat it would be to use a revolver instead instead of a semi-automatic. (Revolvers do not leave behind spent shell casings).
Fourth, people can clean up their cases, and even use a device, a simple bag, to gather than as they are shot. Fifth, what was that 1st thing? Sixth, how many criminals purchase their handguns through lawful channels? This is about a) finding ways to go after law abiding citizens if their guns are stolen and used in a crime and b) making it almost impossible for law abiding citizens to purchase a handgun for self defense. So, you’ll see more purchase revolvers. And then the state will find a way to make that more difficult.
