microstamping for crime solving?
or an effort to drive california handgun manufacturers out of the state?
Gov arnold signed the microstamping bill over the weekend, making it mandatory for all handguns sold in california to stamp make, model, and serial number in two places on every shell casing when its fired.
one company holds the patent for this technology and claims it will only cost pennies on the dollar to implement. critics claim it will do nothing to solve crime since the technology can be easily defeated.
gun manufacturers have threatened to move manufacturing outside of cali to avoid changing over their entire manufacturing process which would cost millions.
Is this how the california legislature intends on disarming it's people? by making it so that no handguns would be sold in the state?
what will the legislature do when law enforcement can no longer buy handguns for their force as well?
all around, this is not a tool for law enforcement as much as it is an anti-gun measure.
