I noted in my letter and subsequent title as "severely criminalizes". Criminalizes does not do justice to what they are going for. A B felony is a serious crime reserved for robberies,rapes, burglaries, and serious assaults. Charging law biding citizens to that level of crime for owning what was bought legally is absurd. Also i noted that this "exception" is rigorous
That is such a great point. Imagine getting a Class B felony because you had a unregistered 30 round magazine in the garage. Jail time and no more soup, I mean guns for you! It's Redic x1000. It nearly makes my blood boil every time I think about this stuff.
