Perhaps they’re talking about stamping the firing pin, somehow. Are you aware of the forces at work at the tip of a firing pin? A “micro” stamp won’t survive 2 shots.
each bullet would have a unique marking
Yeah, stamped in lead. The material that flattens, deforms, shatters on impact. This is as dumb as the Batman scene where he extracts shards from the wall and magically reconstructs the bullet.
Or maybe they don’t know what a bullet is and they meant the shell/casing? And we’re going to micro stamp the billions of shells produced annually? And what does that get us? Doesn’t tell you anything about the exact gun that fired it. Aaaand we’re back to stamping the firing pin.
Let’s ignore physics and pretend this is still technically feasible. Stamping any sort of unique ID on a firing pin, bullet or shell is going to be wildly cost prohibitive. Which is the exact point.
Legislate impossible tech, or in a magical world where possible, make it so no one but the rich can afford it. This bill would effectively make every gun and shell illegal in CA.
