The intent of this law was exactly to make it too prohibitive to manufacture and sell semi-automatic pistols in CA and you can bet that if S&W and Ruger can’t/won’t make them, no other maker will either. The net and intended result is that there will be no new semi-auto pistols in CA. This is the single biggest gun grabber victory in history. They wiped out a whole class of firearms without even having to ban them.

Their next holy grail is the so-called assault rifles. Look for CA to require microstamping for all semi-auto rifles next. Other blue states will follow suit.

Thereby getting around the WILL OF THE VOTERS when, in 1982, the VOTERS rejected Proposition 15, to ban the sale of handguns in California.

You nailed it in one.
