Senate Bill 452 passed on a 29-10 vote Wednesday and goes next to the Assembly for consideration.
The state Senate has approved legislation by Sen. Catherine Blakespear of Encinitas that would require all semiautomatic pistols sold in California to use microstamping technology beginning in July 2027.
The new technology uses a special firing pin to stamp a unique, microscopic identifier on a cartridge as the trigger is pulled. It’s intended to help law enforcement identify the source of a gun used in a crime.
“Gun violence is at epidemic levels in this nation,” said Blakespear, who has championed other gun safety legislation. “We need to do a better job of finding and catching anyone who uses handguns illegally and recklessly.”
“SB 452 simply puts to use readily available technology to help law enforcement catch criminals,” she said. "BULLSHIT" if you drop you spent cartridge's at the range you could become target of investigation.

Thats is not all, we have to pay additional sales tax on Ammo, driving all buyers to out of state sellers. Say goodbye to shooting sporting industries businesses in California.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California will ban people from carrying firearms in most public places while doubling the taxes on guns and ammunition sold in the state under two new laws Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Tuesday that will test the limits of the U.S. Supreme Court’s new standard for interpreting the Second Amendment.
The federal government already taxes the sale of guns and ammunition at either 10% or 11%, depending on the type of gun. The law Newsom signed adds another 11% tax on top of that — making California the only state with a separate tax on guns and ammunition, according to the gun control advocacy group Brady.
The money will pay for security improvements at public schools and a variety of gun violence prevention programs, including those geared toward young people in gangs. The money from the federal tax, which has been in place for more than 100 years, pays for wildlife conservation and hunter education programs.
]]>Perhaps the most compelling reason for purchasing a pistol safe is the safety it offers. Irrespective of whether or not there are children in your household, a pistol safe can prevent accidental discharges that could lead to tragic accidents. It ensures that your firearm can only be accessed by authorized users, thereby eliminating the risk of mishaps.
Depending on the jurisdiction, you might be legally required to keep your firearms locked when not in use. Many states have implemented laws requiring the safe storage of firearms to prevent unauthorized access. In such cases, investing in a pistol safe helps you stay on the right side of the law.
Unsecured firearms are a prime target for thieves. A quality pistol safe can provide an additional level of security against burglary. Many modern safes are equipped with advanced anti-theft features, including combination locks, which can give you peace of mind knowing your firearm is well-protected.
Pistol safes not only securely store your firearm but also provide quick access to it in an emergency. Biometric safes, for example, allow for speedy access with just a touch. This balance of safety and accessibility is a key reason to invest in a pistol safe.
Aside from keeping your pistol out of the wrong hands, a pistol safe can also protect the firearm itself. Safes often come with protective foam lining to keep your firearm scratch-free. Some safes are also fire-resistant, offering additional protection in the event of a fire.
Last but certainly not least, owning a pistol safe offers peace of mind. Knowing that your weapon is secure, that it can't be accessed by unauthorized users, and that it's protected from potential damage or theft can relieve a great deal of stress.

The California Attorney General’s Office published files including concealed carry permit holders’ names, addresses, date of birth, race and date the permit was issued. Leaked information also includes if the permit holder is a member of law enforcement or a judge. California AG Rob Bonta confirmed the leak. “We are investigating an exposure of individuals’ personal information connected to the DOJ Firearms Dashboard,” a spokesperson for the office told The Reload. “Any unauthorized release of personal information is unacceptable. We are working swiftly to address this situation and will provide additional information as soon as possible.” The leak came on the heels of the Supreme Court’s NYSRPA v. Bruen decision which struck down states’ “may issue” permitting systems, which California had. The Reload reported leaked information also included California retailer sales record databases and the state’s “assault weapons” registry. This is the very reason NSSF opposes registries. Despite promises that information will be safeguarded, private information is being weaponized for political purposes.
To those who cannot believe that shotguns are an effective and widely used weapon system on the modern close quarters battle field. I hold no ill towards you, this as any forum should be an educational experience. Just don't be obtuse when someone tries to educate you. Will the shotguns ever replace the rifle on the battle field? No, absolutely not. No one is saying it will, regardless of how effective they are in close quarters. A carbine with a barrel length of less than 20 inches will never replace the rifle either. Carbines and shotguns are too mission specific to replace the full length rifles. That said they all have their place
Germans did try to get them banned during WWI because a relatively few guys (say 100) armed with shotguns loaded with buckshot could clear a Battalion of men out of a trench due to the spread. A shotgun with the right or wrong load depending on how you look at it can take limbs off at point blank range and as the shot spreads out it can take out multiple targets. The Germans were unsuccessful in their attempt to get shotguns banned and shotguns are now used by almost all if not every military in the world for room clearing, and breaching operations.

After less than five minutes of debate, House Republicans pieced together the 84 votes needed to override Kelly’s veto of House Bill 2058, which allows persons 18, 19 and 20 to get a concealed carry permit.
The bill also makes it easier in some cases for felons convicted of violent crimes to reacquire their rights to possess and carry firearms.
“We can respect and defend the rights of Kansas gun owners while also taking effective steps to keep our children and families safe,” she said in her veto message “Legislation that allows more guns on campus is neither safe nor effective, and it will drive prospective students away from our schools.”
Rep. John Barker, R-Abiline, carried the veto measure on the House floor and questioned Kelly’s commitment to gun rights.
“The governor in her message indicated that she has always supported the Second Amendment. Well, I find that hard to believe sometimes, because we already have 18-year-olds that can carry a gun (openly) in the state of Kansas,” Barker said. “This requires them, if they’re going to carry a concealed weapon, to get training and to get a permit and to have a background investigation.
“I think that’s a positive move. Any time people can get training, that’s a good thing.”
He said the law started out as a way for Kansas to honor out-of-state concealed-carry permits, including those from states that already allow 18-20 year olds to carry. “So they would be able to carry in the state, yet a Kansas resident would not be able to carry at that age,” he said.
