The people in California who owned what are now deemed to be "assault weapons" would surely disagree with you.
I could check, but if memory serves, many of them were told their firearms would have to be registered, only to be told later that they would have to surrender those firearms.
Those that were smart enough not to register them became criminals, but kept their property.
Lockyer, a legendary asshole (IMO) seems to have hit upon a great plan. It's illegal to create a database of gun owners, so he'll just do an end run around the Constitution and create a database of ammunition buyers.
