#5  Next time riots, burning, mob violence and looting occurs in California, the outcome is going to be one-sided.

#3  This will reduce *lawful* ownership of handguns, which is a stated goal of the Left.

I would love to see all police firearms microstamped. I mean, it's for 'safety' right? And cops might even be stupid enough to leave their brass lying around.

#1  Guns will sell, as usual, among those to whom guns are illegal and unauthorized already. If the manufacturers are closing open sales in these states, they also should not honor requests from law enforcement as well.
