Tracing device triggers backlash from gun industry

http://www.sacbee.com/capitolandcali...y/2427189.html

One in an ongoing series about new state laws that take effect in 2010.

California regulators have approved far fewer semi-automatic pistols for sale in the wake of a state law that required new safety devices in 2006 and 2007.

Now, with a new bullet-stamping law scheduled to take effect in 2010, the gun industry predicts it will introduce even fewer new models in California rather than install a device necessary to trace individual casings to a statewide database.

"California will become like Cuba with cars," said Lawrence Keane, senior counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents the gun industry. "You will only be able to get very old models of guns....

Oh Woe is me, I won't be able to get the latest guns! How ever will I survive in my bland, pedestrian suburban neighborhood? How will I get rid of my squirrels now? What if someone breaks into my house, I can't shoot them with LAST YEARS GUN! They'll think I'm lame.

I know! That glock is LAST years model! It just doesn't have the stopping power of this years model. If I can't bring down a bull moose with one shot, then why do they even have handguns!?!

Smell that? It's fresh sarcasm.

The whiskey on your breath...yeah I can smell that all the way over here (Tip: Don't breath heavily around someone that is just about to light a cigarette)

The headline SHOULD read: Stupid Posts Trigger Backlash From Gothic Community

However, I get the impression most people here are beyond caring. I notice you're getting fewer responses to your latest posts, which means more people here are wising up to your unbalanced, anti-social, borderline psychopathic love affair with guns. As you continue to post your polarized, extremist views you will alienate more and more people, till finally you'll be posting to a minority of 2 ... yourself and whatever whack job is currently spamming this place.

This is my last time clicking on a thread you start and I'm adding you to my ignore list. So if you were seeking to educate or inform, you lose. If you were seeking to yank my chain, you lose. If you were trying to be heard, you lose.

Good luck with the underground shelter and the arms stockpile.

Why would you want a newer model when an older model kills people just the same?
Or is it like kids with the newest trainers?
