Microstamping in CA hits a snag????
As we talked about back in 2007, all news guns to be added to the California safe handgun roster starting in 2010 will need to”microstamp”, that is, place a unique (to the gun) number on every casing that is chambered/fired.
The California law says that they stamp has to be in at least two places. Pretty much, like AB962, this is just an end run to gun control that avoids that pesking 2nd amendment thing. Well, even though the governator signed it, it turns out that the CA attorney general has, so far, refused to certify the law — a requirement for the law to go into effect.
The issue, quoted here:
”
“The problem I have with this is it can’t be done,” said Kevin Reid, Ruger’s general counsel. “The legislation says it has to work 100 percent of the time and there is nobody, nobody including Todd Lizotte himself, who would say it will always work.”
Several studies, including one done by the University of California Davis, have concluded the process needs further review, that it appears to work better on some guns than others.”
Don’t worry… This is California and I am sure the AG will be pressured into approving problems will be resolved soon.
