^^^ Follow up. I too just re read the bill and haven't
seen the amended version, but I do have this from
the CRPA. Maybe it's a scare tactic, I don't know. But
I do know one thing AB 352 is a terrible bill. From
the way I interpret the bill, ANY semi auto new or
used that doesn't have this micro stamping
nonsense incorporated into it would be illegal.
Am I wrong on this ?
I would like the option of selling mine legally here
in Ca should I decide so, but it seems this bill
would make that illegal..It's very short reading.

This is from the CRPA link regarding all ammo.

SB 357 (Dunn), bullet serialization, has been stopped in its tracks and amended to be used for a totally different non-firearms related purpose. HOWEVER, BULLET SERIALIZATION HAS COVERTLY BEEN SNEAKED INTO AB 352!!!!! The backers of bullet serialization apparently think that FIREARMS OWNERS ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO NOTICE!!!!! As now amended, AB 352 would give the State Attorney General the power to simply mandate bullet serialization by regulation. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE BILL DOES NOT SPECIFY THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL MUST FIRST HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE MANDATING THAT BULLET SERIALIZATION BE REQUIRED!!!!!
Sorry for the long posts, but this is important not only
to us out here in Ca, but you can believe the gun
banishment front is biting at the bit for a chance to
get this going nationwide.
