California bullet ids

[PinnedAndRecessed]

Here's the lead of the article:

Dueling proposals to identify handgun bullets to help police solve shootings were approved by state lawmakers

First sentence, second paragraph:

Ammunition manufacturers would be required to laser-cut each bullet with a serial number under the Senate bill

Second sentence, second paragraph:

while the Assembly version requires guns to stamp identification numbers on bullet casings each time they are fired

On down in the article:

Opponents of Koretz's bill said criminals could file down the guns to remove the microstamping or use revolvers, which don't eject shell casings.

Ok, so S.B. will require the slug to have the SN already laser cut into it. While the A.B. will require a compenent of the firearm to "stamp" the SN onto the rim or head of the casing. Gotcha. Thanks for the info Of course, we all know that simple use of the gun would eventually defeat the A.B.

Correct.

P&R - Not sure if you're trying to rebut my last post, or agree with it, but in you're last quote of the article I believe they are referencing filing down either the firing pin, or perhaps the bolt face, not the firing chamber itself.

There are two different bills guys. AB 352 and SB 357 are not the same bill.

I reread the article. The commies don't specify exactly what part of the firearm will imprint the data. It's pretty ambiguous. Maybe that's what they intend. An ambiguously worded law that will allow them to really shaft all gun owners.

Maybe it could be a stamp on the firing pin, but man, that would be small.

Would manufacturers have to raise prices across the country to cover the c0sts 0f the gear?

The article said:

Ammunition manufacturers said that Dunn's bill will either force them to abandon the lucrative California market or force them to install unaffordable technology to mark the 8 billion bullets they make each year.

My guess is that if the bill passes, legal ammunition is going to become REALLY expensive in California. So much so that many shooters will ignore the law and a) buy out of state or b) cast their own.

Legal ammo will skyrocket. And if the antigun fascists pull this off, look for other states to follow suit. Probably NY, Illinois, Ohio, etc.

PinnedandRecessed my reaction to post 113

Hey PinnedandRecessed,

Sorry to come off so abrupt.
It is by no means my intention to belittle your efforts in this fight.
It just makes me so mad every time a Polecatatition from CA,NY, or MA opens his mouth it always seems to be something about taking away my rights or taking money from me to help the children or some such tripe.
Hey the Polecatatitions in my home state of Texas are little better talk about a bunch of morons. Do not blame me I vote Libertarian and am a strict Constitutionalist.
So to recap I am sorry if you think I paint all people From California with the same brush HAHAHA just kidding.
Really keep up the fight and do not ever quit.

Wouldn't it be easier to stamp a 1" high serial number on every criminal in California's forehead?

This way if they commit a crime, you wouldn't even need a "magnifying glass" to tell who the bad guy was.

No problemo. It is getting absurd, true.

For example, I just returned from a visit to the gold country in Northern Cal. I talked to a man who lives in the country. He has a bunch of huge oak trees. Only he's also got a small oak (ten inch diameter) he needs to cut down.

Here's what he has to do: 1) Call a rep from the state to tag the tree. 2) The rep tags the tree which says if anybody objects to call the state (1-800-etc). 3) Pay $75 to the state rep. 4) Wait to see if anybody objects.
5) Wait for the state to then grant permission to CUT DOWN ONE FRIGGIN TREE!!

That was six weeks ago. He's still waiting.

These people (I'm not from Kal) have let things get waaaaay out of hand.
