Shocking
Pants-shitting hysterics about guns from a newspaper in Cali. Remember, this bill could:
But then, restriction is the point. Not common sense. I’m guessing police would be exempt. And, if they are, there’s a good reason for it.
Update: Another idiot named Bill Cavala:
Legislation that would require “micro stamping” of cartridges from semi-automatic weapons (which typically eject their spent cartridges after firing) hasegendered (sic) virulent criticisms from the usual suspects.
Their basic argument is the same they have used for decades. They posit a brilliant criminal who will think of ways to evade the laws, leaving only us dumb honest people to get entangled in a “legal web”, unconstitutional bureaucracy and so on.
Yeah, ’cause no criminal would buy a gun out of state. Nor would they think to get a revolver.
Cali’s got some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. But they still have a gun crime problem. Gun control: what we do instead of something.

[…] sure this microstamping business will fix Oakland and San […]

Revolvers are exempt from the law be-cause they do not automatically eject their casings.
I predict a spike in Ruger and S&W sales in about 6 months.
Do these people even think before they write these bills?

I know what will be next. Periodic inspection uf the guns to check the engraving. Jack.

“Nor would they think to get a revolver.”
…or a brass catcher. Or just steal a gun from someone, use it in a crime, and then ditch it. Please.
I used a brass catcher when firing the AR-15 at the Boomershoot just out of politeness (keeps ejected cases from hitting people in the adjacent position) and because I don’t have to pick the cases from the ground afterwards. The cases stay clean and I’m not on my knees picking through the grass.
But: This particular design means that if you cant your rifle to the left too far, it dumps spent cases into the ejection port, rendering the weapon unusable until you mess around for a while clearing the obstructions.

And California – where we’re about more than sunshine and good times – will once again have led the way down a wise path.
LOL! The only wise path is the one that takes you OUT of California, the path I took 18 months ago.

I was born in California, but I escaped to America. I will never return. I have become addicted to freedom, though it seems the government is trying to wean me from it.
