Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation.

[I want the USA back]

This is a sign that ca has gone full left. It is implementing all the left’s desires and wishes. It has become fascist, repressive, totalitarian, and unfair.

I said a million times, that the left wants to take guns from non-violent citizens and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.

I’ll add this: by passing laws, they declare innocent people to be criminals and arrest them, destroying their lives, and this is their intention. They have no intention of destroying criminals’ lives, only honest peoples’ lives. The governor writes his name on a paper, and the troops swoop down on innocent, non-violent, law-abiding citizens and ruin their lives.

At no time do they ever think of taking guns from criminals, or of destroying criminals’ lives with false prosecutions.

You think this is the land of the free?

Why would anyone attempt to comply with California forearms law without consulting an attorney first. Similarly should my state pass some license or registration law I would not ever try to comply. Let them find me...I won’t help them.

I've seen several nearly identical reports on this over the past week, including an email from NRA last night. Problem is they all end in mid-May and tell nothing newer. Also, was he registering guns and items that even registered are illegal? (1) Illegal in California and (2) Illegal in US?

Seems people need to seriously challenge all of California's gun laws vis-a-vis the US Constitution. I do not understand why they are allowed, why Californians are so gullible and complying, to allow their rights to be abridged and denied.

I for one am going “California Compliant”. I’m not going down that road.

“Just in the last few years, there have been lots of changes in gun laws,”

Americans constantly waking up and finding they are now criminals in their own homes, having done nothing illegal in the past.

“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.” -Attributed to Mark Twain, but maybe Gideon J. Tucker, 1866.

More and more cases of "I did not break the law, the law broke me."
Yet no raids and gun confiscations in known criminal infested areas. Only harmless good old folks.

Apparently many thought that registering a rifle or pistol as an AW allowed them to delete the hated "bullet button". (It didn't.) So they removed the "bullet button" and they submitted photos to the state of their AWs with conventional magazine release buttons which became full-fledged (and illegal) AWs and therefore couldn't be registered.

Generally this has "only" lead to the confiscation of the rifle, to be destroyed. (And any attached accessories and optics, if the agents are ****s.)

In the farmer's case, he apparently had a room full of bullet-button-less evil-featured ARs, high capacity magazines, suppressors...

The agents hit the jackpot in this case.

From the article:

California's monopoly on power by far-left Democrats has not helped. The legislature seems to be in a race to pass complicated and severe laws. Several laws have been upheld by the Ninth Circuit. The Supreme Court does not seem interested in hearing appeals.

Interesting "comment" from the Supreme Court on the Ninth Circus.

Keep this in mind when they talk about doing background checks to prevent criminals from getting guns. Sounds like a good idea until you realize that ANY violation merely associated with a firearm is considered a “gun crime”. Most folks hear “gun crime” and think robbery.

So, for example, this farmer now has committed a “gun crime” and won’t be able to get a concealed carry permit in any state - ever.

230 rounds of ammunition

Barely enough for a day at the shooting range.

Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

- Ayn Rand, ‘Atlas Shrugged’ 1957

Here you have a guy who tried to “do the right thing” by coming forward himself to comply with the law and they SWATTED him.

The lesson is crystal clear, never trust the government! Goes double in Kalifornia.

Leftists are horrible people. We must fight them continuously to keep our God given freedoms. Never believe a leftist. Never negotiate in good faith with one. They are evil, mentally disturbed humans and there is no shortage of useful idiots like the police who arrested this farmer who are willing to do the bidding of leftists.

" Confiscated 230 rounds of ammunition."

It must be a crime to have ammunition in California.
