That's because you're a slack-jawed, mouth-breathing idiot, who knows absolutely nothing about firearms (except for what you've been spoon-fed by the Brady Campaign).
yeah this would last about as long as it would take to get a file and ruin the name on the weapon.
It would be the first thing I would do if I had to buy a weapon in Cali....
“What will happen is a crime will be committed with a stolen gun and bullets and the police will trace it to an innocent person,” says handgun enthusiast and NRA member Pete Fosworth, “And what about all the guns already on the streets? I just don’t see how it would work.”
The lone voice of reason. God help us.
I'll feel so safe when Congress passes laws against bombing people. /sarcasm
****Bill 352, which, if passed, would require that every semiautomatic handgun sold after January 2009 be equipped with a new microstamping technology that would allow law enforcement officials to link the used bullet cases****
I guess revolvers will be making a BIG comeback in Ca.
(stoo-pid politician)
I wasn't aware that guns were registered in CA. That's too bad.
It must be getting closer to that time when we finally say, "No More, No More"
What needs to be done is for all weapons and ammunition manufacturers to boycott sales in the state of California.
I heartily applaud Ronnie Barrett for his decision to refuse to sell his firearms in, or service those owned by, any law enforcement agency in CA, given the recent legislation there.

The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. No fringes on the fabric. No tears. Not a single strand misplaced. Period.
Couldn't CA residents make purchases of ammo while "vacationing" in adjacent states ?.....or would that be a "no-no"?
...(just wondering)...
They can't or won't stop millions of aliens illegally coming across the border. How will they stop millions of guns from coming over the border? Do these idiots think that criminals are going to get gun permits, buy legal weapons, give their addresses, and then use these guns to commit crimes?
This is an effort to make the cost of gun ownership high, a tax to discourage gun ownership. It also is an effort of the state to apply more control over people. It's the commies against the individuals.
Just another attempt to make firearms and ammo too expensive for the common man. This does nothing to reduce crime or solve crimes. After it is in effect, only an idiot would be caught by this and they wouldn't need bullets or casings with numbers on them to catch someone that stupid.
This is like Canada's registration; it will cost 100 times what they think and will solve zero crimes...
Whoa whoa whoa,,
This article went from talking about a technology that would serialize every case fired from any particularr semi-automatic pistol to argueing serializing bullets and cases.
Two completely different subjects.
The technology for the former already exists and `is in widespread use. It's commonly refferred to as "ballistics".
The really disturbing aspect of the article is the registration angle
Second Amendment? What Second Amendment? Don't need no stinkin' Second Amendment.
Yikes! Be afraid, be very afraid. Remember as goes Kalifornia, so goes Amerika later.
"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..."
Tick, tick, tick...
My beeber is stuned again. Twice in one morning. Seriesly!
How in the Hell does the gun stamp the projectile and the cartridge case with a number? "Enquiring minds" want to know! I can envision a way to stamp the case, but that is a simple fix (brass catcher, or a revolver), but the bullet?
Or is this a typical antigun nitwit who does not know a cartridge case from a bullet?
Better keep tight control of your spent brass. What about reloading? Interesting stuff.
And there is always shell catchers.
Catch your own shells - drop the forged. A perfect crime. This law is stupid and solves nothing.
Unless of course these geniuses have figured out a way to ID every pellet in bird shot.
OR, obtaining a gun from another state or one of the many black market firearms that most criminals use instead of trying to buy one legally.
If they had a brain these politicians might actually become more dangerous than they already are.
Hopefully this POS legislation won't pass along with the one that is supposed to stamp serial numbers on bullets. What a bunch of idiots. Just another attempt to get rid of firearms in the state of CA.
so would this law go the way of the AP ban, where if one example exists of a handgun calibre, all calibres are also restricted?
this would eventually mean everything except shotgun shells would end up being registered.
also, any idea how this would work for the rat-shot type
cartridges?
