Looks like the Feds are building an illegal registration list by hook or by crook. I’d bet they’ll do this in every blue state they can shake down.
It is up to the states to resist these fishing expeditions. I sent off a letter to our governor about this issue, hopefully, it will have some affect.
The problem goes beyond the instant issue. There are so many of these cop wannabees and so many with broad authorities at the federal level looking behind every tree for any apparent or imagined problem to make us all felons. The Nazi’s used to have people on every block, named Gliters (sp?), aka blockwatchers. We have the same here now except they work for the imperial federal government. Drones, wiretaps without warrant, e mail purusols, garbage can sweeps etc, all out there looking for the criminals or if they cannot find one, just plant some kind of evidence and we have a crime. When they get this gun control thing up and running and given how many people own firearms there will be a plethora of new felons to prey upon: Those who own guns and don’t register them, those who own guns and take a certain BP med like a beta blocker, those who have more than two boxes of ammo at home. Wow, we can lock up the whole bunch of them or better still, force them to admit to a felony, sieze their guns, and fine them a fortune. The dark days of america have arrived.
