A federal judge on Monday blocked California from enforcing a state law requiring new semiautomatic handguns to have certain safety features, finding it violates the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
It would be trivial to attach something that would catch the casings to collect them.
The point of this isn’t to actually work. No company does this right now, and no company has plans to do this. The point of this law is to effectively ban guns without outright calling it a gun ban. That’s just not the right way to attempt to do it.
In defense of this awful law, it would at least help catch anyone careless enough to leave their casings at the crime scenes and get caught with the weapon.
Optimistically, maybe everyone who’s been put in jail because of the pseudoscience of forensic ballistics could get a retrial, when the state admits that actually forensic ballistics is fake and we need serial numbers stamped on the bullets in order to identify them
The real problem is that all of those parts would print on the shell casing, not the bullet. What good would that do?
I guess they’re assuming most hoodlums don’t pick up their brass. Jury’s out on revolver users.
