Dear God, we could use a tidal wave.
With the signing of AB 28, California will now add an 11% excise tax on the purchase of guns and ammunition
The signings come just days after a Newsom-led campaign to amend the U.S. Constitution passed out of the California Legislature.
The measure passed by legislators calls for a state Constitutional Convention to consider additional federal rules on firearms purchases and use, but two-thirds of states need to pass similar measures in order for the process to advance.
Another new law, SB 452, will require beginning in 2028 that all pistols have microstamping technology, which will leave unique markings on cartridge cases when the pistol is fired, making it easier to trace which weapon was used in a shooting.

Actually I think what will happen is it'll drive the growth of a much bigger black market for guns, cottage industry guys in their garages outright ignoring the potential severe consequences of manufacturing firearms and selling them to their friends.
I think its gonna be a much bigger trend than anyone realizes. It's one thing for people to hate the laws they had no say in passing. It is another thing entirely when they lose respect for the idea of law and laws.
