So it is impossible to do this but it is still law. Sounds like typical California logic.

We need a law requiring stupidity tracing technology in our court “judges”. “Supreme” my @$$. Should be called the Florida Stupidity Court.

[Bishop_Malachi]

But impossibility does not authorize a court to go beyond interpreting a statute and simply invalidate it.

But isn’t this what Brown vs. Board of Education did? It said that “separate-but-equal” was IMPOSSIBLE to achieve and thus laws enacting racial segregation of public facilities are Unconstitutional.

Maybe I’m missing something.

[Gay State Conservative]

Doing so would surely make firearms,and ammunition,horribly expensive...thus effectively denying citizens their 2nd Amendment rights,as did the District of Columbia's laws.

This can easily be overturned in the Federal Courts...although obviously not by the 9th Circus.

Read that sentence twice. These people are nuts.

This is called a “technical ban”. Require a technology that is grossly impractical or not possible and you have a defacto handgun ban. Either way it yields the desired outcome of the anti-gunners.

SCOTUS has already ruled that a partial infringement is still an infringement. This law is unconstitutional but will require someone that has standing to fight it.

[Yogafist]

Right up there with regulating cow flatulence.

[Sasparilla]

Has California regulated ship to ship or ship to earth transporter beams? How about replicators?

[Red Badger]

People will buy their guns and ammo ‘elsewhere’................

[FreedomPoster]

We’ll know we have a proper Supreme Court when a ton of state 2A infringements start getting slapped down.

[Red Badger]

Ping!.............

[G Larry]

Given that it is impossible, this restriction amounts to “infringement” of the 2nd Amendment.

[shelterguy]

Exactly. They can’t ban guns so they will just make them horribly expensive and impossible to manufacture.

[Ed Condon]

What happens if I use brass that I pick up at the range, for my reloads?

[Mariner]

Only in lala land.

Unenforceable, won’t BE enforced, but will stay on the books.

[Ikeon]

better yet , can I just add my intials to each round?

[Redleg Duke]

Shouldn’t be a problem. According to the way the article is written, it is the bullet that has the identifying imprint. Not the brass.
