get out of California, and bring the flag with you.
ehhh, we shoulda done that with the south in 1860.
i just don't get it. i have been to 43 states. you guys are nuts. if you had any real sense, you all would pack up , move out here in droves, and change the laws.
heheh= or at least the other yanks would (i am from Ny).
anyway , that particular bill is pretty rough. are manufacturers capable of making a gun that does this?
ok some searching shows it is possible.
hmmm. 8*****************88
holy stupid unbelievable. even if it passes it's full of holes. hopefully these will be properly exploited and the law dropped.
ok sure it pretty much works, and they make exceptions , sport shooters, your home defense piece.
first- by gettnig id when selling ammo, this is all already done.
i know you guys hate that, but at least here , felons are prohibited from ammo , parts ,etc. so id makes sense, as does prohibitng sale of ammo to felon.
sure felon cant buy gun, just buy ammo, 3 pipes and a nail.
anyway, thats a whole other argument
point is this article below goes on to show (further in link), criminals could easily load their own. DUH.
i know i know any regulation at all you guys dont like, but most seem to think felons shouldnt be armed. if the method below was implemented, i cant see it costing THat much more, but ultimately its only going to affect regular people.
it would only solve very certain types of cases, where the suspects were obvious but gun was missing. husband/wife crimes, that sort of thing.
even then, law in place, MAYBE they dont do it, probably they use something else.

" The plan would require putting serial numbers on all handgun ammunition possessed in public, sold or imported into the state. To accommodate law-abiding sport shooters and those who reload their own cartridges, anyone on their way to or from a shooting range or hunting trip would be exempt. It's unclear how this provision would work, with supporters acknowledging that details on many aspects of the system need to be worked out.
The microstamping system under study was developed by a Washington state company, Ravensforge. The company engraves shell casings and bullets with a matching serial number. All of the cartridges in a box packaged for retail sale would have the same serial number, which could be scanned and linked to a purchaser's driver license number, Rossi said.
The state's more than 1,600 licensed firearms dealers already have the electronic equipment to record the information - scanning the code on the ammunition box and electronically swiping the driver license - in the same way they collect required personal information for gun transactions.
Rossi initially was skeptical that a bullet's number would be legible after it was fired.
A test of 200 rounds fired from close range into walls, car doors, bulletproof vests, rubber matting and a gel designed to simulate a human target convinced him the technology is sound.
Of 181 slugs recovered - including soft lead bullets that largely flattened out - the tiny code could be read on 180 of them with a simple electronic magnifying scope.
"We tried to prove this doesn't work," he said. "To have it work virtually every time, I was very surprised."
