http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...Of-California-Due-To-Microstamping-Regulation
On January 23rd, Breitbart News reported Smith & Wesson's plans to end most California gun sales due to the state's microstamping regulation. In so doing, we mentioned that Sturm, Ruger, & Co. had also announced that their guns would likely not be available in California either for the same reason.
Breitbart News spoke to Sturm, Ruger, & Co. on January 24th and they provided us with this statement "in response to our question about how the [microstamping] law in California will impact Ruger":
Ruger is committed to its customers in California. Unfortunately, the ill-conceived law requiring the incorporation of microstamping technology into semi-automatic pistols is forcing Ruger pistols off the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale in California. We are working hard to serve our customers in California and will do all we can to fight this draconian law. We continue to submit pistols to the independent test lab for testing and those pistols meet all the requirements of California in effect when those pistols first appeared on the Roster, i.e., everything except microstamping. We have been informed by the lab that the CA DDI will not even consider these "new" pistols for inclusion on the Roster unless they satisfy the microstamping regulations, which many numerous studies have found unworkable. Until microstamping is repealed, we expect that Ruger pistols--some of the safest available--will continue to be forced off the Roster.
Fuck Kalifornia.
Make a bar code out of the rifling in the barrels. There are infinite variations that can be used in the width and spacing of the grooves.
Simple idea? Yes.
Simple to implement? No...and it would only present an improvement of the current method of identifying which rifled barrel a bullet went through on its way out of the gun. Barrel marks are similar to fingerprints.
California lawmakers are collectively STUPID!
Looks like California has found a way to stop their citizens from getting guns.
Requiring Gun makers to microstamp the cartridges when fired.
Smith and Wesson has already said they can't comply with the law and now Ruger is saying the same thing.

Why would anyone live in that fucked up state? We should pull everything out, give it to Mexico, put up a 20 foot iron fence and bus our illegals there.
...and what the collectively stupid do not fathom is that CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY GUN LAWS! Every time I see an argument for gun control I sigh in disbelief that so many still cling to the asinine idea that criminals will turn in or register their weapons. Just how stupid can people get?Make a bar code out of the rifling in the barrels. There are infinite variations that can be used in the width and spacing of the grooves.

gotta remember the intent of the law is to just plain get rid of guns period
and this won't stop until it's succeeded.

Laws don't come into being out of the goodness of anyone's heart, they're the result of business and money.
...and the micro-stamping will not identify the person that fired a stolen pistol. All it would do is identify the pistol.First, California is not preventing anyone from selling guns in the sate. Smith & Wesson and Sturm & Ruger are opting not to comply with the new law regarding microstamping and the result is that they will not be offering their semi-automatics for sale in California. There has been no mention of their revolvers, so they may still be selling those in the California market.
I can't say that I blame them. Microstamping is expensive, flawed, unproven and likely to fail over time. How many times will the gun be fired before the microstamp is illegible?
One thing I have learned after living in California for more than thirty years is this, as forward thinking as they think they are, as much as they think they are better than the rest of the country, they constantly pass laws that can only be considered embarrassing by the rest of the country...
It should be interest to see what Colt and Glock and the others do...
Fuck Kalifornia.
That would take a while...
