A lib “otter” ian view from Phoenix,Arizona

Kindergarten state: Governer Schwarzenegger signs handgun microstamping bill legislating the impractical for the joy of appearing to do something.

There has to be some special level of heck for people that carry out the worst kind of    “good Samaritan”  act  where it looks like they are helping the guy that’s  on the ground up but what you didn’t see  was them beat him up in the first place.  These are the people that D.A.R.E to spend money forcibly removed from you to educate the kids you’re too stupid to teach.. and given that you allow this charade to continue  one has to admire their ability to read the public’s need for daddy to make it all better.  

 Kindergarten state.

The bill requires all new  semi-auto pistols to mark the cases ejected from them to the degree that they can identify the pistol from the casing.  The bad news is that it won’t have any effect. The police are exempt, odd that, why would such a trivial, non invasive and even better for your guns long term reliability be deleterious to good policing?   Oh because if people steal the gun the police are worried that it was traced back to them which given the number of pistols, rifles and other assorted toys lost by US law enforcement  ,that’s one branch.   You can  remove the identifying marks easily, cheaply and  who cares if it’s illegal when the gun was going to be used in a crime anyway?   Nope the idea here is to remove as many suppliers from the market as possible and I can only hope that the manufacturers do a Barret and refuse to supply the state agencies with the weapons they seem to have a need for that far outweighs that of their titular masters ( ok I kid but it still sounds good) 
Some reasonable objections

Criminals could collect cartridges from firing ranges and strew them at crime scenes, implicating innocent citizens,

 Sen. Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Temecula.   Well that’s one problem,  that  the reliability of the method, even  when working properly, isn’t sufficiently developed to pass legislation on is another.BBA ( Big Bahstud Ahnuld) must just have been ignorant of the findings of the study  that the state commissioned… Sucker, crap, we’re the suckers.

Schwarzenegger signs handgun “microstamp” bill

“While I appreciate and understand that this technology is not without limitations, I am signing this bill to provide law enforcement with an additional tool for solving crimes committed with semi-automatic handguns in California,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
