California Supreme Court To Hear Microstamping Case

This episode of 'This Week in Guns' covers a range of firearm-related news and discussions.

The video also touches on a Second Amendment rights issue with Madison Cawthorn and the TSA, the history of California's microstamping law, a confrontation over firearm seizure in New Jersey, and statistics on "ghost guns."

Michael Feifer, CEO of Ruger, discusses the impact of California's microstamping law on firearm sales.

Ruger, along with Smith & Wesson, is unable to sell new semi-automatic handguns in California due to this law, and existing models are being removed from the approved roster. Ruger supports the NSSF lawsuit challenging the microstamping law, viewing it as a 'gun grab' rather than a public safety measure.
