So the microstamping law passed. Once again the Austrian SOB has failed California shooters. Soon, any new semiauto sold in the PRK will require gun parts that have unique identifiers that will stamp your brass. The fact that this technology has failed in every unbiased test means nothing.
But maybe there is something you can do, even those of you who live in the other 49. Remember when the .50 caliber ban was passed, Ronnie Barrett refused to sell to or service any Barrett rifles in CA LE hands? You, the shooters of the United states, need to let the other manufacturer's know how much you admire that stance.
Currently, Smith & Wesson supplies the various State Police agencies with their semiauto sidearms. Call S&W, and let them know that how displeased you are about the new law. Explain to them that if they make semiautos to comply with the new law, you will boycott them. Explain that if they continue to service the existing pistols you will boycott them.
S&W's contact number is 800-331-0852.
Colt supplies AR and AR-style rifles to a great many State and local agencies. Let them know that if they continue to service and supply those agencies, you will boycott them. You don't have to worry about them microstamping the ARs themselves, since they're considered Assault Weapons here and are illegal.
Colt's Corporate contact number is 860-244-1442.
Glocks make up a high percentage of semiautos for police and Sheriff's departments in California. Let them know (do I have to repeat this again?)...
Glock's contact number is770-432-1202.
H&K's number is 205-655-8299.
Springfield's number is 800-680-6866.
Ruger's is 203-256-3367.
Mossberg's is 203-230-5420.
Remington: 800-243-9700.
Winchester doesn't post a number on their website, but there are talented souls here who can find and post it.
Call them all, and tell them all: If they make firearms that comply with the Microstamping law, YOU WILL BOYCOTT THEM. Tell them that if they continue to service and sell existing firearms to California LE agencies, you will boycott them.
This matter is too important to leave in the hands of government. Let the gun makers know that their bottom line is at stake.
Feel free to copy and spread this idea. Send it to the NRA, for as little good as they've been to California gun owners. Send it to your favorite bloggers. Send it to Ted Nugent. Send it everywhere. And call them.
