So, just saw this on the NRA-ILA website.  A farmer was attempting to comply with the myriad draconian gun laws, and ended up getting arrested and having all his guns confiscated.

From the article (bold mine):

The KGET report explained that during his attempt to comply with state law, Kirschenmann submitted photos of “an illegally modified” AR-15 to the California DOJ. This prompted an investigation by the DOJ that culminated in a raid of Kirschenmann’s home. Once inside the property, investigators allegedly discovered several unregistered “assault weapons,” a pair of suppressors, and what California terms a “multiburst trigger activator.”

Kirschenmann was arraigned on May 21 and given $150,000 bail. The farmer faces nine felony counts of unlawful possession of an “assault weapon,” two counts of possessing a suppressor, and one charge of possessing a “multiburst trigger activator.” There is nothing in the report to indicate Kirschenmann violated any federal laws or that he has misused his firearms in any manner.

If their goal is to get more gun owners to register, then they're failing miserably.  This will only drive more people to avoid abiding by the law, in order to keep the state out of their business.

You'd think he'd done a little more research before sending pictures.  Are suppressors legal in cali?  I would guess not.

I'm sure glad that I don't live in that ridiculous state. I visited California a couple of times back in the 80's and 90's but I have no desire to visit it again.
