Registration

The California AW registration scheme has built in confiscation, it occurs upon your death.

The California AW registration scheme has built in confiscation, it occurs upon your death.

Inaccurate: the law says

Any person who obtains title to an assault weapon registered
under this article or that was possessed pursuant to subdivision (a)
of Section 30630 by bequest or intestate succession shall, within 90
days, do one or more of the following:
(a) Render the weapon permanently inoperable.
(b) Sell the weapon to a licensed gun dealer.
(c) Obtain a permit from the Department of Justice in the same
manner as specified in Article 3 (commencing with Section 32650) of
Chapter 6.
(d) Remove the weapon from this state.

None of those options is 'surrender the gun to law enforcement'.

Now, none of them is 'my inheritors get to keep and use them here', either, but no confiscation as the law is today.

One need look no further than the 1999-2000 SKS debacle right here in our beloved Utopia.

I'd never give up my guns as long as I'm alive... I promise you that.

Tax

With out registration,

How could they tax you to keep your guns?

How could they mandate more expensive liability / home owners / renters / even business insurance?

How could they ever confiscate?

Could someone school me on why registration is a bad idea? This isn't a rhetorical question!

I'm on the fence...

And if it leads to confiscation like I have heard, then what are some examples of that in occurring the US.
