NEWTOWN, Conn. - A California Appellate Court has reversed the Fresno Superior Court's dismissal of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) lawsuit seeking an injunction to block enforcement of the state's ammunition microstamping law and remanded the case back to the lower court to hear arguments.
"We are pleased by today's ruling because it means we will now be able to prove in court that this ill-considered law must be enjoined because it is literally impossible to comply with its requirements, and the law never requires the impossible. We have long maintained that this nascent, unproven and unreliable technology should not have been mandated. When we ultimately prevail in this case, law-abiding consumers in California will once again be able to purchase new models of pistols this law currently prevents our industry members from selling in the state," said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel.
What this means, of course, is that California shooters may have one less Impossible Thing to do before breakfast. Doesn't it feel good when you fight the Jabberwocky, and win?

I thought the whole purpose of the two laws was to keep ammunition and new guns from being sold in California. The leadership of California would probably be happy if they could make the whole state a GFZ. Think of the money to be made smuggling firearms over the border.
That is one tough chick. She might make a good USPSA shooter, if we can get rid of the armor. That will slow you down.
