Well, I suppose he only has himself to blame. Anyone who voluntarily registers their weapons deserves what they get.

The farmer was charged with 12 felony weapons offenses after trying to comply with a new law.
Bakersfield, CA – A member of a prominent farming family was charged with a dozen weapons-related felonies, after he attempted to comply with California’s state-mandated gun registration laws.
According to court documents, Jeffrey Scott Kirschenmann’s home was raided in April, after he attempted to register an AR-15 using the state of California’s website, KGET reported.
Kirschenmann is the CEO of Scott Kirschenmann Farms, Inc., which is one of the chief potato suppliers for Frito Lay.
The businessman was attempting to comply with California’s ever-tightening gun laws, one of which required gun owners to register “assault-style weapons” by the end of June.
He electronically submitted photographs of his AR-15 as part of the registration process, and soon became the focus of a California Department of Justice investigation.
According to court documents, the weapon was “illegally modified,” and served as grounds for the Department of Justice (DoJ) to raid Kirschenmann’s home.

Moral of the story? DO NOT COMPLY!

I think the following might apply to commiefornia as well as the handful of other states that forget history:

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Time to throw the bums out, preferably using the ballot box.

In NY, the compliance rate for registering "assault" weapons was 4.6 percent.

Of course, I registered all of mine, being a good law abiding citizen.....

The really sickening thing (in NY) is that a previous governor (the father of the current asshole Andrew Cuomo) basically made Klinton's 1994 AWB into state law (including grandfathering pre-ban stuff).

All in all, that wasn't so bad. There were ways around that.

Anyway, to buy mags became a lot more expensive because now sellers said "You're from NY? Sucker I'll sell you these pre-ban mags for triple what they're worth".

The law decided that if a mag wasn't marked "Law enforcement / Export", then it was OK.

So unmarked mags sold at a premium price, screwing over NY shooters.

Now, Andrew Cuomo with his "Safe" act says that ALL mags (over 10 rounds) are illegal so that people who paid a premium to stay within the law are now supposed to "dispose" of those mags that they paid top dollar for. By "dispose" they mean sell it out of state, surrender it, modify it to only hold 10 rounds or destroy it.

Can't sell them out of state, because the same people say "You're from NY? Sucker I'll give you $2 for it".

So, the choice is be a felon and keep them, or destroy them... and 95.4 percent of NY gun owners said "F-U Cuomo" and did not comply.

Just think... peaceful, law abiding citizens who don't even get parking tickets are turned into overnight felons with the flick of a pen.

And, when the "Safe" act was taken to court, the judge ruled (among other things) that it was OK to ban "conspicuously protruding" pistol grips, drive-by knifing muzzle threads, etc... because "these features made it easier for a criminal to use the weapon".

From NRA-ILA: (1/4 of the way down the page)

Nevertheless in finding that the [SAFE Act] bans satisfied intermediate scrutiny, Judge Skretny credited the state’s evidence on the public safety implications of the bans over that advanced by the plaintiffs. His reasoning, in this regard, created a Catch-22 for law-abiding gun owners. “There … can be no serious dispute,” he wrote, “that the very features that increase a weapon’s utility for self-defense also increase its dangerousness to the public at large.” In other words, the court seemed to indicate that the easier a firearm is to use, and the more effective it is in stopping an adversary (or multiple adversaries), the less protection it should be afforded under the Second Amendment.

WHAT???????? That's like saying comfortable running shoes should be banned because they could allow a criminal to run from the scene of a crime faster!!!!

This crap has to stop!
