Exactly what the California government wishes to happen.
What they want is for the only legal handguns to be in government hands.
Criminals having guns just works in their favor...
not only a patent abrogation of the 2A but effectively bans all firearms sales in the state of California as this “technology” does not exist to comply
Stop selling to the government agencies, too.
California, due to its population, is the largest gun market in the US. This, in spite of all the regulations.
Also, once again, I have to ask. What is with all the Asians being so liberal? I thought they were supposed to be so smart.
How will your scenario work?
There are dozens of handgun manufacturers around the world.
There are hundreds of governments with arsenals of handguns they can sell to another government.
California government probably never needs more than 5,000 new handguns a year.
Even with all of California's restrictions, it is a bastion of freedom compared to virtually all governments in Asia.
On the TV show Forensic Files....
The cops wiped a chemical solution on the area were the gun serial number was filed away....
Anyhow, they were able to retrieve the serial number....
That’s all I know about this.
As has been the case for decades, police don't have to purchase off of the approved roster. They can buy anything they want, and use standard capacity magazines to boot.
Hard to believe this is the state that back in 1982 turned down a handgun registration and ban. Prop 15

So they went after rifles, and now are nibbling the handgun rights away one little bite at a time.
A little valve lapping compound on the microstamp and good by microstamp! Or you can just buy a new part to replace the one with the stamp.
Has a new (non-revolver) handgun ever been added to the Roster since the microstamping law was triggered?
So then this law is mostly a moot point.
“I can make a gun by what I can buy at Lowe’s.”
And I can find ammunition in every car with the flashy lights on top...
China plosidium say, Carifolnya closet palt of US. We get lid of filealms thele make invasion easiel.
In Asia, only the very smartest people get to work for government. Immigrants foolishly think that rule holds sway here...
The solution to this is simple. Especially since guns are flying off the shelves nationwide. Simply stop selling any weapons at all to any california government agency, which would include the police.
Micro stamping royalty fees and the technology required to implement mean significantly increased costs to manufacturers and even more expensive firearms for customers. California already tacks on upward of $200 per firearm in state fees and micro stamping adds much more to the cost, making firearms unaffordable to most Californians. The royalty license is also nearly impossible to get due to politics behind it and the fact that California controls it via proxy.
1. No new handgun (and from what I've personally seen long gun) models have been introduced in California since the original legislation was passed in 2007.
2. Criminals don't buy guns legally. They buy them on the black market, steal them from gun owners, or get them buy other means. Criminals also don't want the "gimped" California compliant guns or magazines and usually buy black market guns sourced out of state, or when possible, out of the country.
Like most California legislation, Cali gun laws are intended to disarm the law abiding population so that they cannot rise up and overthrow the corrupt and power mongering Marxist politicians that control them and to empower the criminal element that they can use against the people.
It's way past time to wake up California!
Violates the Commerce Clause.
We need Justice Amy on the Supreme Court. Then we need to start fast-tracking these cases there for broad, expansive pro-2A rulings.
Time to start putting these idiot states that want to deny basic human rights in their place.
As Plato supposedly observed -
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
