Different issue.


Not entirely. What happens when the suddenly decide to make a gun you
own, illegal?
Then they decide the fair market price is the melt weight of the steel
or some other ridiculous price and they want you to turn it in for
that "just compensation" (assuming they even honor the 5th amendment).
You registered it, they know you have it.

If you had a pre ban AR in California, you had to register it, when it was
banned, pay a $200 license, and if you got caught later, without the
license, they take it and arrest you. What if they decide, that you now
have to pay a $1000 license for each firearm you own? Yearly? As much
legality and possibility as the AR tax.
