California Bullet Imprinting Law Drives Smith & Wesson, Ruger From State (Read 3751 times)

Bunker

FOX News reported that California passed the law in October 2007, but the state only recently decided to implement the law. Rather than comply with the new requirement, Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger have decided to no longer sell their guns in California.

“Smith & Wesson does not and will not include microstamping in its firearms,” the company said in a public statement. “A number of studies have indicated that microstamping is unreliable, serves no safety purpose, is costs prohibitive and, most importantly, is not proven to aid in preventing or solving crimes.”

Soon California will be populated by only anti gun liberals, criminals, and the poor LE that will have to deal with that sh*t.  Sad sad experiment in social utopianism.     See where that goes.   :(  :popcorn:

NY and CA are in a race to outdo each other.  I fear the single-celled amoebas towing the party line won't leave HI far behind.

oh I wouldn't say there will be less guns, just less guns legally bought from those brands.  you can still legally import them from other states and their prices will bring in a premium!
