Microstamping? something that i dont get.

I wouldn't say they've run out of real crime.....

In this country, as a bank CEO, you can defraud millions and drive this country to it's knees, and you get a bonus and a get out of jail free card. But god forbid you slip an 11 round mag into your pistol, and are not wealthy enough to afford an attorney, or the law will come down on you with both knees.

The key to control is to make the masses feel powerless and take away their individual liberties.

For the bullet to get a mark, I read in an article about a laser engraving of some sort. They will engrave a marking into the end of the barrel so the bullet gets a distinct mark as it exits the barrel.

It's all just talk. Because the Defence has good claims why it won't work because anyone can file it off with a diamond file, parts will wear and so will the mark, or can be replaced very easily. Also police are except for some reason.

I think you are thinking about the failed attempt to have ammunition manufactured with "serial numbers" etched into the bottom of the bullet and also into the side of the shell casing. The seller would have to record who bought each box of ammuntion by its serial number. Bullet pulled from corpse would have serial number at the flat end of the bullet, and could be traced back to the individual who bought the box of bullets. Database would be impossible to maintain.

More money for California to waste, Like if California has a surplus of money laying around. California Government, senates, officials etc, are running business out of California.

Well, yeah, that's the game plan. More Welfare, Foodstamps, Section 8 = More Democrat voters.

Look at how well it's working for cities like Chicago/Detroit, Democrats gained and kept control with poverty.

May as well put a little golden calf on your lawn and expect it to magically stop evil.

Who told you about the magical golden calf on my lawn...??

Make it illegal to remove the micro stamping.

#1. It is ALREADY ILLEGAL to remove identification marks from a firearm.

#2. Even bigger concern:

Eventually, the stamp on the firing pin will wear, without the owner trying to remove it.
If the innocent owner is caught with the gun with a worn microstamp, the anti-gun
fascists will try to prosecute the owner for whatever crime that can imagine related to a
gun with defaced identification marks.

It's a stupid attempt at being clever. As others have said, if you can file the stamp off easily then what's the point?

The entire point of the law is to ban handguns by technological proxy.

EXACTLY! Don't try and make sense out of nonsense laws.
