Subdeacon Joe Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yep. I hope that S&W will also refuse to service any owned by Law Enforcement Agencies, and refuse to service any owned by LEAs. Calling a gun "unsafe" because it doesn't have a microstamping firing pin is like saying a car is unsafe because it lacks a front license plate. Link to comment
Noz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's a lot easier to corrupt the micro stamp than it is to replace the license plate. I under stand that 2 minutes with a tiny piece of 400 grip paper is all it takes. Link to comment

Of course we all know that the REAL purpose of this law is to disarm the population. Link to comment

High Sierra Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 This is not good.Does this law affect cowboy guns also or just semi-auto? HS Link to comment
Quick Draw Granpaw #48525 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's truly sad our Government's going after the good law abiding citizens with such a vengeance, to bad all that wasted energy wasn't directed at the problem! Problem being CRIMINALS and power hungry POLITICIANS. Just my thoughts on a useless subject. QDG/48525 P.S. Ruger has also decided to pull the plug on California (but still in the fight).

HS I understand all weapons RIFLES-SHOTGUNS-PISTOLS-REVOLVERS will eventually be required to have Micro-Stamping capabilities. I hope I misunderstood, but only time will tell. Link to comment
Korupt Karl Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Some politician with no knowledge of guns thought this was a good idea. Semi autos leave a casing and thus by their logic could be traced to a gun.....and if it were stolen where would that leave them. Whether through firing or filing, the "stamp" would not last long....and what about just replacing the firing pin with one out of your inventory? Just my too scents KK Link to comment

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Or when the micro engraved code gets filled with gunk. I can see this leading to owners being responsible for ensuring they're always legible and subject to fine (or confiscation!) if not. Link to comment
Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The anti-gun element is getting exactly what it wants and doesn't have formally reference or touch the Second Amendment which by the way is not mentioned in California's constitution as I understand. It will take a long drawn out and expensive court battle to beat this if in fact the law is implanted fully. The courts, the streets, the ballot box and the witholding of service by Ruger and S&W to government agencies are the available choices as it now stands and the withholding of service may not be a long term course of action.

The courts, the streets, the ballot box and the witholding of service by Ruger and S&W to government agencies are the available choices as it now stands and the withholding of service may not be a long term course of action. On the other hand, the Constitution of the State of California does say that the Constitution of the United States is the law of the land: CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTIONARTICLE 3 STATE OF CALIFORNIASEC. 1. The State of California is an inseparable part of theUnited States of America, and the United States Constitution is thesupreme law of the land. And that should include the 2nd. Also: CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTIONARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTSSECTION 1. All people are by nature free and independent and haveinalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life andliberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuingand obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy. Which suggests that one has an inalienable right to effective means of "defending life and liberty" and "protecting property....and obtaining safety." Link to comment
