makes our communities safer by giving law enforcement the resources they need to get guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous individuals,” said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for the governor.
That’s like the Chinese gov charging the family of the criminal for the bullet they are going to use to kill him..(I was going to go with charging the Jews for their boxcar seating but didn’t want to take the chance of Godwining the issue.)
…close loopholes on the existing assault rifle ban…
That’s a good one. There is a bill to reduce the “one feature test” to a “zero feature test”, so I guess “loophole” means “all those guns which we said we ok but are now calling ‘assault weapons'”.
And no notice given, nor any chance to sell or give a firearm. So maybe that Sharps that has been in the family since 1863 will be destroyed, not handed to a sibling or descandant. Certainly the M1 grandpa carried ashore on D-Day will be, or that Glock you bought last year…
I can [barely] see the “violent criminal” concern, but first doubt if their guns are registered and ask if they are registered why was confiscation not part of the sentencing? Not to bring up how many “criminals” are not “violent.”

I predict this will be misapplied. Such “bright clear line” laws almost have to be. One case a couple of years back, in California, shows it clearly. Two armed robbers stick up a store, and force the two workers into a storeroom. One robber goes back to the store to empty the till and take other stuff, one stays to tie up the employees. The latter eedjut has trouble with knots, and puts his gun down. The second employee grabs the gun, has the first employee tie him up, goes out to the store and subdues the robber there, calls the police.
Guess who went to jail? Yeah, the employee who foiled the robbery. Seems he was on parole, which he violated by being “in possesion of a firearm.”

So they’re intentionally charging more than they should, then?

I hate everything about this state, except the weather.

Registration is ALWAYS used for confiscation.

Isn’t any individual potentially dangerous?

The money comes from a surplus in fees paid for background checks by people purchasing guns.
They lied. They said that money would only be used to maintain the DROS system.
