No real surprise. They can't handle their own business without going
over budget or pi$$ing someone off, so their aim their wrath at something
inanimate..Figures.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles City Council went
on record Wednesday in support of four state gun-control bills
dubbed the "Shooting Victims Bill of Rights."

One of the bills, introduced by Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los
Angeles, would require all new semiautomatic handguns to be
equipped with microstamping technology by the start of 2010.
The technology marks a gun's make, model and series number on
spent shell casings.

Feuer, a former Los Angeles councilman, has said his proposed law
would help authorities trace the owners of guns used during crimes
and could lead to a reduction in gun trafficking.

Assemblyman Kevin DeLeon, D-Los Angeles, has introduced a bill
that would require retailers to have a license to sell ammunition.

DeLeon has said he was compelled to author the bill after a gang
member's stray bullet struck 9-year-old Charupha Wongwisetsiri
in the head while she and her mother were in the kitchen of their
Angelino Heights home last Dec. 20. The girl died of her injuries
six days later.

The council also threw its support behind a bill that would require
firearm owners to notify a law enforcement agency within five working
days of discovering that a gun has been stolen or irretrievably lost.

Too bad they don't have the rocks to go after illegal immigration with the
amount of enthusiasm as they do trying to ban private firearm ownership.
L.A. A study in failure. They can't even keep track of reg sex offenders. How
do you suppose they'd keep track of weapons ? Oh wait a minute. This
would apply to LAW ABIDING firearm owners and enthusiasts who obey
the laws....Moronic how all anti-gun laws really just affect law abiding
firearm people and do NOTHING to curb any illegal activity.

meh that kind of thing doesnt scare me. When they realize the impossible cost ammount of it theyll forget it, kind of like ballistic testing for ALL new guns.

In the end I preder they do stuff like this instead of bans/regisration and all that other jazz.

So, lets disarm the honest citizens so that the little gang bangers have an easier time of it!

I hate that "notify police that a gun was stolen law" more and more all the time. What is it's purpose? What do they think that law will accomplish? Will the police launch a search? Will they commit more manpower to finding the stolen guns? No.

The only thing that law does is make the victim (one whose gun was stolen, the gunowner) a criminal. I got a bad taste for it after a thread about a gunowner who reported his gun stolen and the local LEO started hassling him over the guns he had and asked why he had them. All it does is let the LE come and hassle or threaten the gunowner. It turns the victim into a criminal and does nothing to effect, solve, or deter the original crime.

The gun control crowd call it "common sense" of course. But what does it actually accomplish?

Well chalk up another stupid non gun control law. what's going to stop the criminals from changing the firing pin, or filing off the microstamp? A little nail file should do the trick. Sad fact is It won't stop the gang violence.

another reason I'm buying a semi-auto hand gun every 30 days as I can. Wainting to DROS my NEW Kimber Custom II 1911.

That's a brilliant idea to license retailers to sell ammunition. It can't be the poor gangbanger's fault that one of his stray bullets killed a little girl. If only the dealer who sold him the ammo had been licensed...
