Looks like it grandfathers in anything already on the approved list, but nothing new can be added without microstamping technology.

will see if this stands up in court since microstamping does not exist on guns for sale now. . .

What Ohio Shawn said. Of course, I wonder whether guns that are already on the list will be able to stay on it without adding microstamping when it comes time to
refresh their bribesrenew their listing.May 19th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
Fuck, Unc, sensationalist headline much? What Ohio Shawn said.
I’m in CA with my Kimber, and for a moment I thought I might have to haul ass back to Vegas with it toot suite. Post Colorado, Maryland etc. California doing something that stupid lies uncomfortably within the realm of plausibility, even if Calguns would eventually rip it up in court.
At least put “new” in the headline.

Fair enough but I don’t find that substantially less frightening.

Since they time out all approved guns every three years, this is effectively a BAN… Time lapsed, but a BAN!!!

The California Attorney General may annually retest up to 5 percent of the handgun models that are listed on the roster. (California Penal Code 32020. (a))
By adding in the additional requirement of microstamping it is not hard to see that the AG will simply “retest” 5% of the listed guns immediately and then finding they do not have microstamping remove them from the approved list.
Sucks to be in California.

We’ll all be outlaws. And that’s cool too.

I note that the California Department of Justice does not certify that the technology exists or is practicable, only that it is not restricted via patents.

California just added to the price of any gun manufacturer selling in CA.
Microstamping works well enough to produce one fired shell for testing by the state; after that if the law requires the stamping stay legible, only the gun owner is at risk!
