A friend of mine recently told me she was having trouble finding ammo for sale in her home town in California. She kept talking about the "new legislation coming"...

"Micro-Stamping" Your Ammo:
Incremental Gun Prohibition Advances in California
"On October 13, Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California, signed AB1471 into law. As of January 1, 2010, the law will define (and prohibit the sale of) any newly-designed semi-automatic pistol as an “unsafe handgun,” unless the pistol is equipped with two or more internal parts that imprint, onto the cartridge case of a fired round of ammunition, a microscopic array of characters that identify the make, model and serial number of the pistol. Despite claims by the bill’s supporters that it benefits police efforts, it wasn’t supported by statewide police groups." more here:
