Letter From Attorney General / LAPD Regarding Recent Purchase

[Press Check]

Started DROS on a pistol on April 1st, and based on the date noted within the correspondence, this letter was dispatched to me on the April 2nd. Granted, it's been about a year since I've purchased a pistol, so this might be new, but I've heard nothing about it. In all the pistols I've purchased, I've never received anything.

Lets see it, or at least tell us what the frikken thing said

Stupid browser

Had a look at the return address, and apparently, this is called a "Purchaser Letter," and a quick search on Google turned up zilch.

I wonder what else this joint program mentioned in the second paragraph involves beyond sending out harassing letters to gun owners.

Is the state allowed to notify municipalities about which residents are buying guns? This is a perfect example of how registration can be abused.

[Xombie]

Anyone write "return to sender" on the envelope and left it for the mail service to return?

Old news. Many threads on this letter.

[socal-shooter]

So basically registration is already being abused

Ok, thanks. Again, I haven't purchased a pistol in over a year, so I didn't know they existed. Searching a bit further, I found a thread from last year.

Who is that from? Mike Fuhrer? Oh wait no.. I guess not...

[AceGirlsHusband]

Let us hope the next letter isn't, "Dear gun owner: due to current laws, you are hereby required to surrender your handgun at the nearest police facility within 30 days."

Here's the interesting part: my household received its first "purchaser letter" this week, but I DON'T live in City of L.A. I thought this letter was only supposed to go to City of L.A. residents. Can anyone else chime in on this?

Well what city? Beverly Hills or Barstow?

[Mayor McRifle]

This letter is extremely lame, and provides no meaningful new information to responsible gun owners. All it does is make law-abiding gun purchasers feel like borderline criminals for exercising their constitutional rights. To the extent that this is by design, this really is a form of intentional harassment. I have no doubt that another intent of this letter is to have on record the fact that it was sent, so that it can be introduced later in a criminal prosecution to show that the gun owner was "on notice," and was thus "willful and intentional" rather than merely "negligent or reckless" should he or she run afoul of the laws related to otherwise legal, constitutionally-protected gun ownership. Doesn't L.A. have any real crime to focus its limited resources on at this time?
