S&W Bolts California
California lawmakers may not be able to outright ban firearms, but they’re adding enough regulatory hurdles to make it nearly impossible for gun manufacturers to continue doing business.
Smith & Wesson is following the footsteps of Sturm, Ruger & Co. in ending California sales thanks to a bill requiring microstamping — tiny engraving of information such as make, model and serial number — on all new semiautomatic weapons and shell casings.
S&W pointed out that “a number of studies have indicated that microstamping is unreliable, serves no safety purpose, is cost prohibitive and, most importantly, is not proven to aid in preventing or solving crimes.”
Therefore, “Smith & Wesson does not and will not include microstamping in its firearms.”
We applaud S&W for not caving to draconian gun control measures and for rejecting decrees from those who won’t honor their oaths of office.
Concur.
To the detriment of Fornicalians, but one in the “win” column for S&W and Ruger. A reason that Barrett no longer sells their .50 caliber rifle to Fornicalia LE agencies, and refuses to service same: Fornicalia’s Draconian gun laws.

A beautiful place to live it may well be, but there is beauty in AMERICA too… California hasn’t been America for a long time now…
That’s pretty much true. Which is why I am examining Washington. State, that is. Fewer taxes/regulations. And more water.

You know Washington state is a leftist state, although there are lots of areas where conservatives have the majority. Can’t you find a state that better suits your beliefs?
That was MY thought too… It’s called *The LEFT Coast* for a reason… It has nothing to do with geography…
I’d consider Texas but I just can’t take the heat anymore, nor humidity. And the Pacific Northwest has water which will be a HUGE issue in the coming decade — and for electrical generation as well.

Yes it is, with some enclaves. But FEWER taxes than Fornicalia.

Good news for Nevada firearm dealers.
Yes, I’m certain they’re smiling. Nevada needs some positive news.

WSF beat me to it… sigh…
Let them move to the southern states, they would be most welcome, I can guarantee that.
We love our guns!
That is correct. They are more than welcome to come to Texas. There is room
right off 190 in Rowlett that would suit them immensely.
