URGENT
 
AB 1471 (Firearm Microstamping) Passed. Email or call Governor Arnold to Veto.  
I also urge members from other states to do the same because if this bill passes, it will follow you.

Re: AB 1471 (Firearm Microstamping)
 
Dear Governor,
 
I am emailing to respectfully request you to veto this bill.
 
Here are some of my points of consideration:
NanoMark is a private company not specifically expert in firearm.
This company is the only source of this technology.
This technology has never been tested outside the lab.
It will make firearms expensive and unaffordable to people for sporting and personal home protection also to law enforcement officers. Thereby affecting taxpayers.
Ammunition will greatly increase in price making training for ordinary citizens and law enforcement officers extremely costly due to the fact that spent cartridge casings may not be reused and reloaded. This will also affect taxpayers.
Criminals can easily defeat it by simple tools.
Spent cartridge case can be picked up by criminals and defeat the system.
Criminals can use revolvers that does not eject the fired case.
 
Sincerely...

This is a bad law. I hope Governator sees what the majority of California assemblyman did.
 
I will be sending a letter and encourage some of my students to do so too.
