Hey, gun manufacturers - time to stop selling guns to California. Especially the police in California.

[Dumpster Baby]

Nothing that a few seconds with fine emery paper or a Scotchbrite pad won't fix. What a bunch of ignorant fools.

[glorgau]

What an incredibly stupid, wasteful law.

[P-40]

no arrest is made in approximately 45 percent of all homicides in California because police lack the evidence they need.

They should hire some of those illegals to help them look for evidence...

[MichiganConservative]

..passed a bill (22-18) that will help police solve gun crimes and catch gun traffickers ...

Are they aure about this. Why do I think they don't really care about solving crime?

The new technology, microstamping, uses powerful lasers to make extremely precise,...

Maybe because they really just want to make it more expensive to manufacture, and therefore own firearms?

Leftists are scum.

[Lawgvr1955]

So when the police retrieve the bullet casing at a crime scene, they can quickly track down the legal owner of the handgun that fired it.

Won't have much impact on drive by shootings, robberies and the majority of gun related crimes.

But the libs will feel better for having done something (even if its wrong).

BANG!

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- With the support of forty-one police chiefs from around the state, the state senate today passed a bill (22-18) that will help police solve gun crimes and catch gun traffickers The bill, AB 352, requires that a new ballistics identification technology be required on all new semiautomatic handguns sold in California after 2008.

Cut to East LA Street Scene:

Joe Gangbanger: Hey, man, I need a piece so I can get paid tonite!

Fred Strawman Purchase: Sorry, Joe, but all I have is pre-2008 guns that don't imprint ballistics. I can't sell them to you illegally!

Joe Gangbanger: Oh, man, that sucks the head cheese! Now I'm gonna have to get a job at Burger King if I want some pocket cash!

The following fantasy was brought to you by the California Legislature, the Brady Campaign, the Democratic Party, the UN and other similar cranial-rectal inversion people around the globe.

[Lokibob]

I'm about as dumb as a rock with this new technology, but somebody please tell me how many times does a bad guy leave a casing at the crime scene?

2nd... If I were a bad guy, what would prevent me from grabbing a handful of casings from the range, and scattering them all over the crime scene?

[ArmstedFragg]

is devoted to creating an America free from gun violence

Which is why you'll see them out there, every night, getting gang-bangers off the streets..... or not.

[TangoLimaSierra]

All the BGs will just use revolvers...

[KoRn]

What happens when you change out the firing pin? It doesn't cost much at all, depending on the weapon, and takes about 5 minutes.

[Porterville]

I guess criminals will just have to get their guns illegaly now.

[Nathan Zachary]

"With the support of forty-one police chiefs from around the state, the state senate today passed a bill (22-18)"

This is what I find alarming, since when did police pass laws in California? When did it become a police state? Police are employees, law enforcers, not lawmakers. This is unconstitutional.

[Logical me]

Oh my gosh. How stupid can these nuts get. What is to prevent criminals from tearing down the gun and replacing or altering the pin. There is nothing in this gun industry that cannot be altered and will be. Another stupid way to increase the cost of a gun. And that is not to mention that the criminal can pick up the brass. Wow!!!!!! Really bright.

[AlaskaErik]

This is nothing more than incremental backdoor gun control.

"I'm hoping the Governor will listen to a fellow Republican and sign this bill once it passes," said Paul Helmke, the new president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Paul is a former three-term Republican Mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

As the nation's largest, non-partisan, grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence, the Brady Campaign "<

Uh, if it's non-partisan why is he selling his (R) to push an agenda?

[goldstategop]

It will just make guns unaffordable. And this technology, first employed in Maryland - has not helped to resolve a single crime. Sure, 41 police chiefs supported it - because they don't trust you with your own guns. Just look at the list of usual liberal suspects who support this measure. The same people who oppose genuine get tough on crime proposals when they meet them.

( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)

[Joe Brower]

As we here all know, this scheme is so obviously unworkable and actually crosses the line into the absurd.

However, when viewed in the light of what it's true purpose is, i.e.: the slow strangulation of firearms ownership by the law-abiding, it all makes perfect sense.
