They'll probably require that the new firing pin be put into a gun and used to produce a few cases for the state. This will make it slower and more expensive to sell the things and thus more expensive to buy. The fewer people who can afford firearms, the better as an armed population might be more dangerous to the state.

But the guns could just come in illegally from out of state. So maybe they just want to make things more inconvenient/expensive out of spite.

It will have to be made of extremely hard material, otherwise it will wear off after a few hundred rounds. Or a few seconds with a file. More likely it will be some sort of imprint caused by the bolt during recoil. Dum idea none the less, and easy to defeat for the criminal minded.

Manufacturers won't bother, and if they do, only the law abiding citizen will get screwed by the extra cost. I wonder how this will work for people moving into the state after 2008 with new guns bought in a different state? Add this on to the list of stupid laws made in 2006 by the loony left. It goes right under the one passed in Chicago yesterday banning ducks with big livers from over feeding them. Apparently it's cruel to eat fat ducks.
