So a casing will now be stamped with a signature in California, and this will stop crime how?
The Crime Gun Identification Act (AB 1471) would require all new models of semiautomatic pistols sold in California after 2010 to be microstamped, or microscopically engraved, with their make, model and identification number.Oh I get it now, since most murdering thugs buy their guns legally, fill out the required forms, and cross all the Ts, we can find out who they are. That's not the genius of it though.
Theoretically, the microstamping would be transferred onto the cartridge casing when the handgun is fired, allowing police to match bullet casings found at crime scenes with the gun that fired the bullet.
Critics say the technology is vulnerable to tampering -- the laser engraving can be scratched and altered. And even if the technology does work, it won't prevent criminals from using the stamped guns, critics argue.
Now that these guns will be much more expensive, which won't help drive the black market at all, Mr. legally-acquired-gun-murdering thug, will have a harder time affording such gun. And they say gun control encourages more crime, silly gun-nuts!

The micro stamping bill will basically shut down the new manufacture semi auto handgun market in Kalifornia.
If a manufacturer does produce a microstamping semi auto, it will be only on one or two models. There will be an increase in new gun sales of semi autos prior to the drop dead date, then it will be all used guns from then on.
The purpose of this bill had nothing to do with stopping crime, it was to stop the sales of new semi auto hand guns in kalifornia.
If that turns out to be true, gun bans whether legislatively or essentially have increasingly been ruled unconstitutional, though there are obvious fine lines being treaded.
There's no doubt the 1st Amend. can't be "essentially" banned by indirect means, hope the same holds true for the 2nd Amendment, should Ahnold sign it.
This bill only proves what idiots run the state.
We will have to wait to see if Arnold is not a "Girly Man" and will stand up to such nonsense.
Yes, legal proof that certified idiots who know little about guns, reloading, and bullets. I think now we should have a bill for the SF and LA nuts to microstamp condoms and KY jelly so we can track down who is boinking out there with or without one. Time to leave this Communal Group Home for the Insane for another state with fewer nuts. Any suggestions?
i curious, how in the hell is stamping a gun goin to keep a thug from shooting someone. a thug does not exactly go to a store and buy a gun, they get it through a little thing called the black market. so stamping a gun is really not goin to work because now, they will for surely get the guns illegally. stamping a gun is about the stupidist thing i have ever heard, but i guess that it makes sense if u are from california, since that state is all fucked up already
California will register people with "bad thoughts"
When a crime is commited, you just grab the "list"
Clever!!!!!
Because bg's aren't intelligent enough to simply pick up their spent brass after committing a crime right?
