(CA) Assembly Bill 352 : Fingerprinting for Handguns

Canyon News ^ | Jul 24, 2005 | Michelle Lanz

[RIGHTWING WACKO FROM MASS.]

It's not the companies it's the dumacrapic state of MA that won't allow the shipping of ammo. They passed a knee jerk reaction law about 3 or 4 years ago. They said it was to keep ammo from getting into the hands of minors. The libs favorite excuse ..."save the children."

Actually, if you define the term semiauto in terms of the mechanism rather than the feeding cycle. When it's semiauto versus full auto then the revolver fits, too. As in one pull of the trigger results in one shot instead of one pull results in MANY shots (ie full auto).

"It becomes incumbent on all true patriots to defend the Second Amendment."

Yes. Please list what you have done to defend the Second Amendment. Or are you just blowing smoke and talking the talk?

[Buffalo Head]

"Any fair machinist good fashion forged cases."

Did you mean "could" rather than "good"? Either way, the finest machinist on earth can not forge the microscopic details that are used in the "finger printing" system.

I write and publish editorials defending all of the amendments, am an active member of the NRA, and buy guns on a regular basis. I also write my and other congress members.

What do you do?

If you are referring to ballistic forensics, then I agree with you, but this is not what is being discussed and certainly not what I was speaking about. This has to do with stamped shell casings

I'm an amateur machinist and I can easily comprehend a mechanism for creating/forging stamped cases. It is a technology that could easily be done on existing weapons.

[WillMalven]

I guess your the one blowing smoke. Huh well imagine that.

[Buffalo Head]

"What do you do?"

Everything that you claim, in addition to serving our country in combat against communist forces and drafting a good portion of the bill that redefined "Antique Guns and Ignition Systems" in a revision to the GCA1968 several years ago.

[Buffalo Head]

"This has to do with stamped shell casings."

No, it does not. It has to do with laser etching serial numbers on bullets. The 'finger printing' of shellcases is an entirely different matter. No gunsmith can duplicate or 'forge' either.

Please be accurate with your postings.

"I guess your the one blowing smoke."

There has been too much uniformed guessing on this thread. There is an unwritten obligation to post either facts or opinions on this forum. Your opinion has absolutely no merit.

If the tobacco industry had boycott selling cigarettes in states participating in lawsuits, the sales tax revenue from cigarettes would drop to zero.

I wished they would have done that instead of caving in the Attorney Generals.

[Buffalo Head]

Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread or cement is to concrete. Shellcases are to cartridges as....

Please report back.

You're a good one to talk.

When I jested about purchasing stock in Dremel, you somehow, inexplicably twisted it into advocating the commission of a crime.

Why don't you take your vitriol and spew it on people who deserve it, like the liberals over at D.U.?

[absolootezer0]

so would this law go the way of the AP ban, where if one example exists of a handgun calibre, all calibres are also restricted?
this would eventually mean everything except shotgun shells would end up being registered.
also, any idea how this would work for the rat-shot type
cartridges?

Jesting about serious subjects in airports will get you a trip to jail, regardless of your original destination and intentions. The place for humor is somewhere else.

Jesting about serious subjects in airports will get you a trip to jail, regardless of your original destination and intentions.

But I didn't make my comment while at an airport, did I? I posted it to Free Republic.

How you make the illogical leap from posting at F.R. to making comments at airports is beyond me.

The place for humor is somewhere else.

When Jim Robinson or the Admin Moderator tell me to cease and desist making any posts in jest, or which contain humor (or attempts at such), I shall.

[Buffalo Head]

It is very unlikely that Jim Robinson or the Admin Moderator will provide help to improve the quality of your posts. They typically leave improvement up to the individual poster's abilities and desires.

In fairness, you haven't done serious harm to the purpose and image of Free Republic. But why waste words on a thread, forcing other folks to waste their time, plodding through nonsense, searching for serious and useful information?
