**Analysis: Microstamping Déjà Vu in California [Member Exclusive]**
California’s Attorney General, Rob Bonta, has released a report asserting the viability of microstamping technology for firearms, aimed at making it mandatory for all new handguns sold in the state. Microstamping uses internal firearm components to imprint a unique code on spent ammunition, potentially aiding law enforcement in linking casings to specific firearms. This comes after past attempts to implement similar legislation encountered legal challenges, including a successful injunction by a judge in 2023 against the Unsafe Handgun Act, which ruled that Californians have the right to modern handguns. Following this, the state introduced Senate Bill 452, which reinstates the focus on microstamping but requires further investigations on its technological and commercial viability. As of now, no microstamping-enabled firearms are commercially available, raising concerns about the future of handgun sales in California.
