So every shot fired has to have this little mark-thingy from the firing pin.

OK.

What happens when the bad guys uses a revolver that doesn’t eject the spent casings?

What happens when a bad guy collects his brass after a crime?

Did any of the people involved in this law have any idea what a gun is or how they work?

Unfortunately ive found out all to well that the majority of gun owners here in NY are big on talk, small on action. The last governor’s election proved this out. Theres no way to spin the numbers in positive fashion, the gun owner turn out was terrible. What the country needs to fear is California`s 50 electoral votes and Hillary Clinton. .

I live in TN, to the good people of California all I can say is you guy’s and gal’s ELECT these people. If you want to change the laws elect someone else. Liberals keep getting elected and your state keeps getting stranger???

Response to Chris

Not sure if you ever reloaded before.

The firing pin strikes the primer. If you reload you remove the spent primer and replace with a new one. So there is absolutely no way to get busted picking up casings at the range and reloading. People do it all the time to save money on ammo

This is such a joke but thank the democrats and their dumb antiquated way of thinking to come up with this garbage. Just do not sell any firearms of any kind to California including Law Enforcement and solve the problem before it can become more idiotic. The best defense is a stronger offense.

Also, gun makers should refuse to sell firearms to law enforcement in that state.

No magic here, the firing pin can be filed or smoothed to remove stamp, any fool know this. Or go to shooting range, gather up shell casing from other shooters guns and spread them around your crime site.

The goal is to stop people from buying semi-auto handguns through a cowardly backdoor method. Cal is at war with gun owners, it has nothing to do with crime control and everything to do with control.

“Ballistic imprinting” is NOT the same thing as an engraved firing pin pressing the serial number into a primer. The primer, and the brass casing are not “ballistic.” I guess that’s what happens when people who know nothing about firarms make stupid laws based on fear and ignorance.

I agree it’s about banning guns and making law abiding citizens victims of crime. If we don’t fight this now it will be a domino effect throughout the union state after state…..which will cripple our nation and open the door to more crime and terrorism.
