Earlier this week, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that requires newer model handguns in California to be microstamped.
Gun manufacturers and firearm advocates denounced the decision, noting that it not only violates Second Amendment rights and would increase black market activity and and non-registered weapons in the state, but would also hurt economically during a time of economic downturn.

(Photo: Kevin Sanders for California Globe) Assembly Bill 2847, authored by Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco), specifically notes that microstamping, which imprints tiny markings on cartridges that had been fired from the weapon for quicker police identification, will have to be in at least one part of the interior of the handgun, replacing the current law of having it on two or more places that had been deemed difficult by gun manufacturers and law enforcement alike. The bill will also quicken the process of having more microstamped guns instead of non-microstamped guns in circulation by removing three non-compliant handguns from the state roster of sellable handguns for every new, AB 2847 following model added to the list.
For any new handgun joining the state roster, it will also need to have a chamber load indicator and a magazine disconnect mechanism in addition to the microstamp.
Assemblyman Chiu wrote the bill to increase the percentage of identifiable microstamped guns in California and reduce the number of black market firearms in the state, helping police solve firearm related crimes quicker.
“This is a bill that will assist law enforcement in solving gun-related crimes via using micro-stamping technology and reduce the number of accidental gun deaths and injuries,” said Assemblyman Chiu (D-San Francisco) earlier this year.

Salami slice the number of legal handguns available, so that they become increasingly expensive and difficult to obtain.
California is a one party state. They have no opposition so every wild ass idea that comes down the road becomes law.
Elections have consequences.
Been tried in many states. 30 cent piece of sand paper, and it works!
Really sucks when I can’t say what’s on my mind...
Gun manufacturers should just stop selling in CA.
Do not comply.
I can make a gun by what I can buy at Lowe’s.
I can make saltpeter from the contents of a toilet bowl.
Wouldn’t “micro” stamping be subject to quick wear from normal usage or even a quick swipe with a metal file? (Honest, it just felt a little rough when I was doing some maintenance so I fixed it)
Amy has work to do.
Confirm her ASAP.
Yes, useless virtue signalling and harassment of gun owners.

Being the governor of California means never having to know how to pronounce the word, “Metallurgy.”
Ve vill stamp your gun and you vill Like It!!!
Does this new law say that all handguns sold, regardless of grandfather status on the Roster, must now also have microstamping?
Two issues: 1) This will be challenged in court as a defacto ban on handguns, clearly violating Heller, and
2) There goes the Glock Gen 3 handguns, which were continued to be manufactured only because of the California market.
That’s what the leadership of CA wants ...
Why bother. They’ll just catch them and release the.

The new law says for each new handgun added to the roster, three of the older handguns must be removed.
IF it can be reasonably and economically done, a chamber load indicator is a good safety measure - though instead it would assuredly be used to outlaw any older firearms.
When their security guys and police can’t get guns, they’ll change their minds.
