This is nothing. I live in the Los Angeles area and used to work with a pro-gun advocate who set up a PAC. Things were going fine until he drew the attention of our (rabidly democratic) state government. They tried to fine him for not filing some forms and he tried to fight it. In the end he lost everything (several hundred thousand dollars). It can be dangerous being an activist in California if your cause is unpopular with the liberal state government.
