Assembly Bill 1471 has been scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, June 26.
AB1471 would require that after a certain date, the make, model, and serial number be micro-stamped onto the interior surface or internal working parts of all handguns in such a manner that those identifiers are imprinted onto the cartridge case upon firing. Under AB1471, the manufacture, sale, and transfer of handguns that do not include their identifying information would be a crime. AB1471 ignores the results of a recent University of California study of this technology, which concluded, "At the current time it is not recommended that a mandate for implementation of this technology in all semiautomatic handguns in the state of California be made."
