All of this crap has to do with one thing: throwing yet another stumbling block into the path of those citizens who wish to exercise their Constitutional rights; also, it gives the bastards another excuse to pass yet more stupid, f'ing laws that taken together, mean the end of firearm ownership. This is another hare-brained idea that sounds good on paper, and may work for law enforcement guns, but out in the public and especially in criminal circles, this is just plain goofy. What the Cal DOJ wants is to control not just the sale of guns proper, but the sale of all gun parts. On the way to implementing any ballisitc fingerprinting mandate will be the rider that all gun parts be serial numbered; hence you will need "permission" to buy any and all gun parts. And of course, it will be a felony to alter or swap these parts. This crap coupled with the already in force SB 15 "drop test" means the end of all gunsmithing in California, including the gunsmithing hobbyist.

The point may indeed be to legislate a system that's doomed to fail. Once it's shown to be ineffective, a new legislative "solution" is proposed. It's the governmental version of planned obsolescence. And at each turn we have less freedom.

Concur with your post # 40.

This technology has absolutely nothing to do with the manufacturing process (inventory, quality control, etc.) or operation of a firearm. It won't enhance safety. It won't deter a single criminal. And it's of dubious use in catching criminals.

But it sure will interfere with law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Ammendment right.

I'm waiting for a person shot by a California LEO to sue the state because he was shot with a unsafe firearm by their own admissions. LEOs can still get firearms not on the state approved list.

There is a huge money issue attached to this stuff. Micro doesn’t come cheap, and a feather in a companies hat that can sell advanced technology to a government looking for something to spend their unlimited funds on whether it is good, bad or just plain stupid, it doesn’t matter.
