Yikes that is pretty sad.

It does illustrate a real threat when legislators require guns to be registered. In this case, assuming the story is true, the government did indeed use such a weapon registration list to enable them to confiscate firearms.

This appears to be no longer a possible or potential threat, but an actual example of government weapon confiscation with little probable cause.

Glad I live in a state where guns do not have to be registered.
