Microstamp
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2021 9:18 am
Seems like in California, leading state for the anti gun faction, is on a new war path. Can you believe micro stamping firing pins and shell casings with unique identifying marks to each bullet and gun? They are even considering having new handgun offerings by manufacturers in the state to remove three models for every new one offered. At the moment, with the new laws, the manufacturers aren't offering any new model handguns in California anyway.
From the AP:
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gun control advocates are making a new attempt to force the gun industry to comply with California’s unique law requiring individual identifiers on all bullet casings, a mandate that has been toothless since it was approved in 2007.
The law requires gun manufacturers to adopt micro-stamping technology on new types of handguns introduced in California.
The intent was to imprint a unique set of microscopic characters on all cartridge casings when weapons are fired, linking bullet casings to the guns that discharged them.
Gun makers have said the technology is unreliable and to get around the law have not introduced new gun models in the state since the law was passed.
New legislation would expand the law to include weapons used by law enforcement, which are currently exempt. The thinking is that forcing police officers into the marketplace would prompt manufacturers to improve technology so they can sell the weapons to members of law enforcement.
