15. It's kind of twisted, but here is my take on it
The microstamping bill expands California's definition of "safe handguns", which implies that any handgun that does not comply is unsafe in the eyes of the state.

If police were required to use only certified "safe" handguns, their options would be limited. And if they ever shot someone with an "unsafe" handgun they could be sued. The exemptions in the laws protect them from that possibility.

The whole idea behind most California gun laws is to limit peoples' choices. The authors want to eventually ban all firearms from non-government use.
