Yup, the Mulford Act was signed by Reagan with support by Republicans and Democrats and microstamping was signed into law by Schwarzenegger passed by a Democratic controlled state legislature. And the "son of microstamping" was passed in 2020 by the Democratic controlled trifecta that includes another poison pill,
In addition to the new microstamping measure, the number of types of gun-law compliant handguns in California would be reduced as AB 2847 would introduce a system of removing three handguns from the current handgun roster that are non-compliant with current laws for each handgun added.
Assemblyman Chiu had written AB 2847 to reduce the number of black market firearms in the state, as well as help police solve firearm related crimes quicker.
“AB 2847, would require gunmakers to incorporate microstamping technology — to imprint microscopic characters that identify a handgun’s make, model, and serial number on the casing of every bullet that is fired,” said Assemblyman Chiu earlier this year. “Having this information is critical to solving countless crimes involving firearms, as well as to reducing the black market for guns.”

Another measure that CA law enforcement strongly supports. If it was left up to law enforcement they'd put CCTV cameras on every corner in the US. The science isn't there for microstamping, but CA Democratic politicians and judges would rather support fiction than science.
