Should Microstamping guns be unconstitutional?

The challengers to California's law argue that microstamping is "unworkable technology" and that is will effectively make the sale of guns illegal in the state of California as some gun manufacturers have already stated that they will no longer sell new guns in California due to this law.

What are your thoughts?

Gun rights groups await judge's ruling on California's 'microstamping' law

California's gun laws are among the nation's strictest, but a looming decision in a federal lawsuit could effectively ban handguns altogether in the Golden State, according to plaintiffs who want a judge to toss out a state law requiring all new handguns to be equipped with technology that stamps each shell casing with a traceable mark.

Looks like they found a method around the 2ND Amendment. I do not like it at all.

This is California, they live in their own fantasy world. It's a land of Gov Brown sugar cookies falling from the sky.
There state is beyond broke and every law they use just hurts it even worse. I think the people who can afford it, will start moving out. Way to many liberal policies there

I dunno about unconstitutional, it is absolute nonsense however that's not going to do a damn thing to stop a crime.

I did a full write up for the gun blog I'm a staff writer for if any one wants to see the full, and fully cited info on why this is stupid: https://www.facebook.com/riflesandreason/posts/ [login to see] 05739

All microstamping will accomplish is significantly raising the price of a firearm because it is a expensive and burdensome manufacturing process.

If it goes into effect, whomever can get a working model first will make a ton of money.

That could be construed as a violation of the 4th Amendment... Ya know, being secure in one's person, papers, and possessions....

Microstamping technology, is another form of attempting to overturn the second amendment. I see no technology that has the ability to be subverted by criminals. Microstamping being one.
It is presently not available for a gun, rifle, pistol, revolver, shotgun. The size is not yet small enough and neither is the cost reasonable
It is driven by the leftists who are out to stop gun sales, not realizing that criminals will keep buying illegal weapons, those that don't have the technology, while law abiding citizens will be caught holding the bag!
I'm an FFL holder. I'm a Master Gunsmithing. I was raised around guns, taught you respect them, use them properly and use them for hunting.
I served in the Marines, and only used weapons when my life depended on it.
Please note, the only state discussing microstamping, is led by an idiot for a Governor, and a state Assembly and Senate, dominated by leftist fools. I speak of California, the home if Dianne Feinstein , Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, all know anti-Constitutionalists, anti-second amendment, and all greedy fools.
I live in California, for now, and witness each day,the destruction of a former Golden State!
Shortly, I will be relocating to a Red state, Arizona, where guns are allowed, where ownership of guns is accepted, and where two other idiots, M Cain and Flake, are being replaced by pro-constitution, pro-gun rights persons!
