"California's Unsafe Handguns Act, which bans new semiautomatic handguns that do not stamp identifying information on the cartridge when a bullet is fired, is constitutional, a federal judge ruled."

"The Unsafe Handguns Act prohibits the manufacture or sale of any gun that does not meet certain safety requirements. The California Department of Justice keeps a roster of tested revolvers or semiautomatic pistols that have been deemed not to be unsafe."

"The purpose of the law is to reduce crime by reducing the sale of cheap handguns, ensuring that handguns fire when they are supposed to and do not fire when dropped.'" ...

Criminals, ever cognizant of the firearm laws, will be sure to use only those guns that have been approved by the California legislature in order to avoid getting in trouble when they commit crimes.

I for one am sick of these liberal judges that impose their prejudices instead of ruling in accordance with the constitution.

One of the worst hand gun laws was that prohibiting "Saturday nite specials". The (unintended?) consequence was criminals soon had reliable weapons. Seems like cA is way "behind the curve" on this one !

The "upside" of this decision - if true/factual - is it conflicts with federal law/standards on multiple levels. The obvious case is to contend how "micro-stamping" - an unproven/untried technology - renders a firearm already meeting industry and federal standards for safety and performance is rendered "unsafe" by lacking an unproven modification.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both. — William Rawle, A View of the Constitution 125-6 (2nd ed. 1829)
