This is BAD legislation that if signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger would quickly be repeated throughout the country. There are many inherint flaws in the legislation and I urge everyone whether CA residents or not to contact ALL manufacturers of handguns, Glcok, Beretta, S&W ect... and urge them to lobby against it. Here are some reasons:
1) Microstamping would cost millions of dollars to manufacturers to retool production lines and track the parts.
2) Firing pins can be and are commonly replaced, easily.
3) Increased cost of firearms to the public, lowering sales.
4) Microstamping DOES NOT WORK for Revolvers that do not eject spent shell casings.
5) Will NOT stop crime, criminals, and illegal gun ownership.
6) Microstamping the shell casing is nearly impossible the firing pin hits the primer NOT the shell casing.
7) removable in less than 10 seconds with a nail file. Replaceable with after market, new firing pin.
8) guns used by criminals are stolen and NOT easily tracible to the user
9) If CA does it Your state will/might be next.
10) increases the already widening disparity between Law Enforcement the "Haves" and ordinary citizens, the "Have Not's". CA LEO's already can purchase guns NOT on the CA DOJ approved list we can't.
If you're in CA please call or write the Assembly & Senate members in your district and the Gov. urging the m NOT to approve and sign. If you DO NOT live in CA please contact the manufacturers, Glock, S&W, Beretta and otheres and urge them to lobby against suck stupid, inneffective legislation that will hurt their business.
Thank You
