From: Chuck Michel, Chief NRA Lawyer for California

We are preparing a lawsuit against the Cal. DOJ on behalf of a class of people who recently had their "assault weapon" registrations invalidated by Cal. DOJ and who now face potential felony prosecution.

A subset of this class is people who were actually charged with a felony, then, pursuant to the statute, registered their firearm, had the felony charge reduced to an infraction, and got their gun back. These people also got a letter from DOJ saying their registration was invalid and instructing them to turn in their firearm to law enforcement or face prosecution (again).

We need people from that subclass to support an argument to challenge the registration revocation.

If you know of someone like this, please refer them to this office. We will handle their case pro bono.

Who said "Nobody wants to confiscate guns"?


Former AG
Dan Lungren
In 1998, the previous Attorney General (Republican Dan Lungren), ordered SKS Confiscation.
In both of these cases...

  • CRIMINALS EXEMPT ­ The Supreme Court has protected criminals against prosecution for both failing to register firearms and possessing unregistered ones with Haynes v. US.

  • LAW­ABIDING GUN­OWNERS, who had gone out of their way to remain law­abiding (and registered their guns), are rewarded with the confiscation of those arms. (And threatened with FELONY prosecution even after they relinquish their guns!)

  • VIOLENT CRIMINALS, who don't register guns and aren't inconvenienced by laws, are rewarded with more unarmed victims on which to prey. (And... they get to keep their real assault weapons because nobody knows they have them!)
