Bullet Encryption Defeated in CA

Looks like common sense just squeaked by in California. From the Monterey Herald (scroll way down):


BULLETS - The Assembly also rejected legislation by Assemblyman Paul Koretz, D-West Hollywood, that was intended to help police solve shootings by creating a tracking system for bullets. The measure, AB352, would require new semiautomatic pistols sold in California after 2008 to stamp bullets with an identifying mark that would allow police to trace them. It got only 38 votes, three short of the bare majority it needed to move to the governor's desk.

This would have mandated special manufacturing procedures for guns and probably ammo. Thugs could have simply replaced or filed the hammer of the gun or stolen ammo, etc. It would have accomplished NOTHING. The measure had been passed by the state senate a few days ago.

For more on the defeated scheme, see my post here.

Thank God!

That would have been a colossal boondoggle!

How about engraving the foreheads of the repeat offender mutants? Jack.

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
