Microstamping now mandatory for any new firearms in California?

created 5/19/2013 - 6:15 pm by Chris Mangrum

As of 5/17/2013, looks like California is officially requiring microstamping on all new semi-auto firearms.  No stamp, not legal in Cali.  Read the memo at oag.ca.gov:

In 2007, Assembly Bill 1471 was passed and signed into law, requiring all semiautomatic pistols 

to be equipped with microstamping technology—“a microscopic array of characters that identify 

the make, model, and serial number of the pistol, etched or otherwise imprinted in two or more 

places on the interior surface or internal working parts of the pistol, and that are transferred by 

imprinting on each cartridge case when the firearm is fired.” (Pen. Code, § 31910, subd. 

(b)(7)(A).) The legislation further provided that this requirement becomes effective when the 

Department of Justice “certifies that the technology used to create the [microstamp] imprint is 

available to more than one manufacturer unencumbered by any patent restrictions.” (Ibid.) 

Certification of the Microstamping Technology 

On May 17, 2013, the Department of Justice issued a certification that the microstamping 

technology is available to more than one manufacturer unencumbered by any patent restrictions. 

A copy of the certification is attached to this bulletin.

Official in charge of corrupt IRS department promoted - to top ObamaCare enforcer

created 5/17/2013 - 9:26 am by Chris Mangrum

Read the whole thing at humanevents.com:

If you haven’t tuned President Empty Chair out completely, you may recall him making some absurdly tough noises about cleaning house at the IRS and firing some top officials.  It has now been confirmed by multiple sources, including ABC News, that one of those officials – Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller – was due to leave in June anyway.  He’s not being “fired” at all; he’s leaving on schedule.

But Obama looked America right in the eye and lied through his teeth about demanding Miller’s resignation.  That’s almost a scandal unto itself, isn’t it?  Shouldn’t reporters be swarming Obama and demanding to know why he made such misleading statements about sacking the IRS commissioner?  Or will the excuse be that Obama was once again clueless about what was going on at the IRS, and only discovered Miller was due to leave anyway when he read the newspapers last night?  Would even the true Obama dead-enders be stupid enough to believe that about an IRS official whose appointment is directly controlled by the President?

U.S. Military Grants Itself the Authority to Deploy Troops in American Cities Without Presidential or Local Approval

created 5/17/2013 - 9:22 am, updated 5/17/2013 - 9:22 am by Chris Mangrum

The summary is this: the DoD published an update to US code outlining military power during civil unrest.

It was slightly altered during a May 13th update which now grants the military authority to unilaterally declare martial law without presidential approval.

Many sections outline plans and policies for a martial law scenario, and should be read by any American worried about a hostile police state.  The whole article can be read at shtfplan.com:

Most worrying is that the examples given as possible reasons for when the military would need to use their, “emergency authority,” are so broad and open to interpretation that it essentially gives them the power to declare martial law whenever they choose.

A recent piece published by the Long Island Press further expanded on the repercussions of these “subtle” changes to the US code.

The lines blurred even further Monday as a new dynamic was introduced to the militarization of domestic law enforcement.

Why America is Collapsing Morally

created 5/16/2013 - 4:23 pm by Chris Mangrum

From RWN:

Ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? It’s a classic economics argument that goes like so:

The tragedy of the commons develops in this way. Picture a pasture open to all. It is to be expected that each herdsman will try to keep as many cattle as possible on the commons. Such an arrangement may work reasonably satisfactorily for centuries because tribal wars, poaching, and disease keep the numbers of both man and beast well below the carrying capacity of the land. Finally, however, comes the day of reckoning, that is, the day when the long-desired goal of social stability becomes a reality. At this point, the inherent logic of the commons remorselessly generates tragedy.

As a rational being, each herdsman seeks to maximize his gain. Explicitly or implicitly, more or less consciously, he asks, “What is the utility to me of adding one more animal to my herd?” This utility has one negative and one positive component.

1) The positive component is a function of the increment of one animal. Since the herdsman receives all the proceeds from the sale of the additional animal, the positive utility is nearly +1.
