I haven't seen this noted, but wanted to post it purely for the political aspect of it. The paragraph is a part of the "NEWS IN BRIEF" section (pg. 38) in the March edition of Guns & Ammo.
I typed it out, so forgive any potential typos.
No More California Sales
STI International, manufacturer of competition and law enforcement handguns, has stopped sales in California over a new state law requiring that handguns sold here come with technology to "microstamp" identification numbers onto spent shell casings. "We as a company have decided enough is enough," STI explained in a press release. "[We] feel it is necessary to take a stand against irresponsible legislation designed solely to inhibit the American citizen's right to keep arms."
Obviously STI is going to hurt alot more on this one than the California economy; its nice to see a company take a blow like this for no reason other than to make a point that money is nice, but freedom ain't... well, you know.
What do you guys think? Any other benefits than to keep a clean conscience?
