In one of the biggest mistakes in Governor Schwarzenegger's administration, he has signed the handgun 'microstamping' bill, which will require all handguns to have microstamping features in order to be added to the CA DOJ Safe Handgun list (the list of handguns approved for sale in CA).
You can see the press release on the Governor's website here:

Schwarzenegger wrote a message regarding his signing of AB 1471 which reads:
I am signing Assembly Bill 1471.
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.
Public safety is one of the most important roles of government and I encourage all stakeholders to work on improving this technology so that it may become an even more effective crime fighting tool. |
