California Smart Gun Law

I am wondering if our legal scholars think that a favorable Heller decision will have any effect on 'Smart Gun Laws' in NJ and California (if passed), or if it would be considered a "reasonable restriction"?

I also wonder, if these laws stand, will the next anti campaign be to ban revolvers, since this technology and microstamping would be totally useless.

In my eyes if Law Enforcement (or for that matter any person, persons, entity, entities) are exempted from the laws that the common citizen is bound by it is whole heartly an UN-reasonable restriction.

Dumb politicians creating Smart laws?

There should be a law limiting politicians from creating laws on subjects they know little or nothing about. In addition to laws that hold them liable to the same, "truth in advertizing", laws everyone else has to follow.

IMHO their platfor is their contract with their constituants

A move to ban revolvers would likely be the line in the sand, so to speak, because there is nothing the general non-gunner public sees as a more innocuous handgun than the revolver. It's still seen as the cowboys gun, the gun Joe Friday carried to protect the public. The gun the public still looks on favorably from the days when the FBI was respected (Jodi Foster in "Silence of the Lambs"). It's the kind of gun the good, honorable old family man kind of cop carries ("Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard"). Kind of hard to villify it.

And, if SCOTUS rules that 2A applies to everyone, not the states, the key will be how "reasonable" is defined. And we probably won't know how it will be defined until the follow-up cases start coming through the court system.
