The California Department of Justice has just certified “micro-stamping.” Because of Assembly Bill 1471 in 2007, that mandates all new pistols sold in the state on the roster of approved handguns, would require it as soon as such technology is available to more than one manufacturer unencumbered by any patents. I certainly have my doubts, about the actual patents, but when have you ever trusted those who continually attack your Second Amendment rights?
See this informative post on the details at the calguns.net forum from Bill Wiese.
This is but another back door attempt to remove the ability of the citizens of this nation arm themselves. There is no current manufacturer that sells their firearms with such features. The requirement takes effect immediately, which means there’s an even higher likelihood, that California will see no new models added to the bogus list. Which is an outrage.
