Sailing through the California Senate last Friday, a microstamping bill now heads to the desk of anti-gun Gov. Gavin Newsom to be signed into law.
This is bad news for gun owners in The Golden State.
Per the legislation (AB 2847), starting on July 1, 2022, all new handguns sold in the state will need to be microstamped in one place on the interior of the handgun (current law requires two imprinting locations).
...
AB 2847 is problematic for a number of reasons as Mark Oliva, director of Public Affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, noted in an email to GunsAmerica.
"This microstamping bill is doubling down an a technology the state knows is unworkable and is easily defeated by criminals," explained Oliva.
Californians Will Have Fewer Handguns Available to Them Thanks to New Microstamping Law - GunsAmerica Digest
The verb regulate means to control. Government regulation takes certain production and distribution decisions out of the market and makes them political. Think of government regulation as socialism-lite. Hundreds of millions of consumers are made worse off, while the only winners are a tiny group of politicians and some special interest groups.
I'll take socialism lite over fascism heavy any day. Tell me again how requiring new guns to be stamped is an imposition?

Why do we have VIN numbers on cars? Should we get rid of them too because they are socialism and useless?
Don't ask hysterical people to act rationally. They are authorized by their paranoia and persistent victim-complex to overreact. They'll consider rational thought when they're finished being bat **** crazy.
Guns are to trump culture what not eating pork is to Islamic culture. At one point, both of these things may have had their uses. But the advance in technology has made them obsolete and dysfunctional. But it is no longer about rationality and practicality. They have become sacred symbols of their culture and markers of cultural and personal identity- and so beyond the reach of any arguments of practicality or logic.
Because it's useless and unreasonable. The only purpose of this law is to make it eventually more or less impossible to buy a handgun in CA.I'll take socialism lite over fascism heavy any day. Tell me again how requiring new guns to be stamped is an imposition?
Obviously, you didn't bother to read the article. It's not an imprinting on the gun itself, but a mark unique to each individual firearm that must be imprinted onto each piece of brass fired and ejected from the gun. It's technology that's easily defeated by anyone who wants to obliterate the marking mechanism, since the only feasible location for the stamp is the firing pin.I'll take socialism lite over fascism heavy any day.

A small stamp inside a gun doesn't make consumers worse off. I guess we should do away with license plates too. SOCIALIST LICENSE PLATES!
Tell us how it makes a gun "safer".
That takes about a minute to eliminate.Microstamping prints a small code onto the bullet casings to link them to a gun in the database. Don't litter.

That is one of the plus of revolvers.Revolver wins....

How will this reduce the number of handguns or make them harder to obtain?
