Last month, April, 2018, the California Department of Justice raided prominent Kern County Farmer, Jeffrey Scott Kirschenmann. The justification for the raid was pictures the farmer had sent to the Department of Justice in an attempt to register a rifle. The DOJ claimed the rifle was an illegally modified “Assault weapon”. During the raid, the DOJ confiscated 230 rounds of ammunition, a dozen guns, two objects claimed to be “silencers”, and some sort of trigger activator.
There is reason to be wary of the accuracy of the claims of what was found during the raid. California law is very complex. California law enforcement officers have been known to make mistakes about what is an “assault weapon” and what is not. “Silencers” can only be determined with a test to see if the devices actually reduce the sound signature of a firearm. There are many fake look alike simulated “silencers” on the market. From kget.com:
Retired KCSO Commander Joe Pilkington is a court recognized firearms expert. He could not speak directly to Kirschenmann's case but says the laws are changing so frequently, it's often hard to keep up with the latest regulations.

Never trust the government.
That will teach you to comply with gun registration schemes!

Gang bangers, not attempting to comply with the law, today will be just like yesterday - no problemo.

Of course not because the lefty scum bag commies running that state need to have an armed infantry to carry out their insane ideas free from any interference by an armed opposition.
Surely it’s a coincidence that this new strong push against gun owners came out at the same time Berkley announced that to save the planet they felt humane population control measures were needed.
Lucky for them conservatives have now been determined to be inhuman.
Same exact pattern that generated the holocaust.
California is working hard to make gun owners a persecuted minority.

First they are forcing them to become lawyers.
