California governor Jerry Brown signs law funding seizure of legally purchased guns

[Demeter]

4. I suppose a State Police representative goes to the individual

to verify his status as to (in)eligibility to own a gun, demands the guns or information as to where they went, if the disqualified person is no longer in possession. And then, the State updates the files accordingly. If one is no longer licensed or legal to own guns, the State could demand their surrender without any legal wrangling. Raids wouldn't be required unless there was non-compliance, and in that case, as it is a felony for the disqualified individual to own, there's no legal issues as to the propriety of a raid.



I'm assuming that one doesn't renew the gun license every year (no personal experience), as one does with cars. The only reason they demand yearly renewals of car license plates is for taxation...I don't even know if the State correlates car ownership with driving license validity...Maybe gun ownership should be taxed. It's a means of constantly updating the database, and brings in revenue, too.
