Confiscation is the name of the game

Sounds like beta testing a system that will be used against you and I.

While this particular case might have been a good bust, don't believe everything you read. Of course they are going to tell you he was evil, he had scary weapons.
This system is designed with one thing in mind, identify and remove guns from their owners.

Remember, the whole thing is in CA and if there is a single thing that can be said about CA it is their Gun Laws are Very different than most of the rest of the Country. Their Laws aren't any better and they aren't any more effective they are just MORE!!!

Exactly this. This is why I posted it.

This system is possibly the worst thing I've heard of in the whole scheme of crazy CA gun laws.

Especially when you consider they had this system in place and when they decided citizens needed to register their ARs as assault weapons, they had an instant list of people to check up on. Anyone that had purchased an AR before the registration requirement, and not registered on time may wind up in this "system."

No tragic canoe accidents there... They know who has them and when they become illegal, they'll show up to find them. Insta-felon, just add search warrant.

"11 "ghost guns" with no serial number, meaning they can't be traced"

It's just another reason to not live in the Craziness that's called California!!! I've only been there a few times and I have ZERO reason for ever going back. Now I have ZERO plus 1.

The real tragedy in all of this is that all those awesome guns are going to be chopped up....

"We're the only state that does this. It's a shame – because we see tragedies occur way too often, and mass killings," Becerra [CA AG] said.

The plan is to bring it to a state near you soon.

Of course, the Plus side is the fact that all the other copies of a particular Model will be just a bit more valuable!

I think you missed the part where people get mistaken as felons repeatedly via NICS and other similar systems.

Shall we arrest everyone that gets a NICS denial?

My point was this system is dangerous.

No but they should all be investigated.

Propaganda is a useful tool for controlling the masses. We are so quick to judge and condemn by what a government official says.

Looks to me like someone who resisted registration and who is now being made an example of. I Wonder if the daughter with felony firearms charges was as evil as the father ?

What's sad is how easily we could all be made criminals and felons.

I have 2 "assault weapons" registered in California. Have never had an issue with them but I am not a felon. I wrestled with the decision to register them but decided that I wanted to shoot them without looking over my shoulder. I am not unhappy with the decision and my kids still living in California can legally inherit them.
