California’s Assault Weapon Registration Program Flops, Reveals Gun Owners Personal Info
The anti-gun lobby is doing everything it can to demonize the National Rifle Association, and when we see stories like this, it’s clear why.
The NRA has reported what they call a ‘massive breach’ in California’s Assault Weapons Registration Program.
After the assault weapon registration period closed, both the NRA and the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) started getting hundreds of complaints from people who said they were not able to comply with the registration law due to the fact that the DOJ online portal couldn’t handle all the traffic.
The site was plagued with errors, crashed as hundreds of thousands of law-abiding gun-owning California residents attempted to comply with the law. Owing to the fact that the DOJ provided only one means to register “assault weapons” those who were not able to access the site in time have no other way to comply with the law.
Now, if we can just stop here for a moment and inject some dearly needed sanity… Let us not forget that there is no real definition of an “assault weapon.” This is a term that was brought to us by Hollywood because it sounds cool. It was readily picked up by anti-gun news sources since it defies clarity making reporting on “assault weapons” that much easier.
If you wanted, you could reasonably say that an “assault weapon” is one designed for use in war. But the truth is many weapons of war are less deadly than a shotgun loaded with slug ammunition. So this is just another example of how CA gets it wrong on guns.
But this data bottleneck combined with a short registration window isn’t the “data breach” that the NRA was talking about in its report. There has been a slew of reports that the information of users was improperly disclosed to other users as this registration was going on.
Several reports have confirmed that people attempting to register their guns had their information given to other users. The information divulged gave the wrong users access to accounts that did not belong to them. All the evidence suggests that these data cross contaminations were due to the poor design of the site and the problem of the data choke point. Information improperly shared included addresses, payment information, phone numbers, email addresses, passwords, and pin numbers.
Not surprisingly, this isn’t the only time California’s Dept. of Justice has screwed up this badly in this way. In 2016, CA DOJ admitted that it had accidentally released the names, birth dates, driver’s license numbers and other sensitive information about people who attempted to register their guns as commanded by state law.
In response to the first flub up, the CA DOJ issued free one year memberships to an ID security service. Yeah, we’re shaking our heads too.
The problems with the website, in addition to the brief window of opportunity, were similar to those that plagued the Obama health care registration website. It would appear that liberals either refuse to hire proper IT people to do their coding, or they just think it’s funny to watch law abiding citizens hit their heads against walls.
And, of course, there is the overwhelming lack of sensibility stemming from the fact that criminals would never go to a website to register any so-called assault weapons that they may own.
Now, despite the fact that the CA DOJ is the one responsible for so many people failing to register their weapons those who have not registered their guns are at risk of being held in violation of the law.
To help out, the NRA and the CRPA have put together a team of attorneys who are developing a bulletin on how to stay out of jail. The bulletin provides summaries of the legal options available to those who either missed the window or who are unwilling to label their guns as “assault weapons.”
At present, attorneys from both organizations are examining the legal situations members may find themselves in soon. These organizations have earned a reputation for standing up for their members.
That’s why, if you’re a gun owner, being a member of the NRA or similar groups like the USCCA or CRPA is a good way to protect your right to self-defense and the right of other Americans to keep their guns where they belong.

Gun registration is totally un-Constitutional — We must put an end to this.
Similar situation here, all apartments had to be lead certified by June 30, but 90% weren’t and those tenants were all going to be thrown out in the street as landlords feared huge daily fines for renting out without the certification and were going to just get out of the business. A judge put the law on hold. Meeting the requirements might have cost them 100 years rental profits, so not worth it.
It is very apparent that all of the active shootings that have occurred have been liberals! These same folks that want to outlaw guns! California & New York have the highest # of liberals in the nation! Does this tell you anything? The liberals are supporting Atheism & Socialism! These are not true American values nor are they what this country was founded upon! Everybody needs to “Wake the Hell Up” and vote Republican in November if you want the America we all know and love to survive! Otherwise we will start taking orders from a bunch of queers and lessies! Wake up America! Vote Republican in November. Drain the democrat swamp that is trying to ruin our nation!
99% of DAILY Religious Terrorism in the USA is Christian Religious Terrorism !!! :
Footnoted small sample of Judeo/Christian Religious Terrorism WRITTEN ORDERS direct from the Christian BuyBull (Quran has even more) for Murdering of innocent people:
“Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for WAR, my fingers for BATTLE.” Psalm 144:1.
Jesus: “ Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a SWORD. 35 For I have come to turn…
“a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law…” Mathew10:34-35
Jesus, who wanted to be King of the Jews, said: “But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them–bring them here and KILL them in front of me.” (Luke 19:27)
Anyone who curses or blasphemes God, should be STONED TO DEATH by the community. (Leviticus 24:14-16)
Anyone who dreams or prophesizes anything that is against God, or anyone who tries to turn you from God, is to be PUT TO DEATH. (Deuteronomy 13:5)
If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God, KILL them. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)
If you find out a city worships a different god, destroy the city and KILL ALL of it’s inhabitants… even the animals. (Deuteronomy 13:12-15)
KILL anyone with a different religion. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7)
KILL all men, women, children, and, even, babies already of the 20 nations/50 belief systems/religions of the Promised Land when moving into it. (Deuteronomy)
Imaginary Jesus of gospel stories said his followers must obey the Torah/Old Testament (N.T. not invented yet) (Jesus invented ~150 A.D.)
A lot of this stuff was written in the old testament which has been replaced y the new testament. I just read today tah reading about Jesus telling the disciplines stuff in Mathew. It is disturbing what he meant by that. I think he means that if you family does not believe in the Lord then they are goners. To me Jesus preached love and forgiveness. I am going to get to church early next week and as k Father about that passage. Thanks for bring that up. As far as the old testament is, Jesus came to replace it. I don’t take that stuff to mean anything anymore. But someone who does not have Jesus i n their heart-I could see how they would think that.
As far left California has gotten I wouldn’t doubt that they ever intended to safe guard anyone’s personal information. There reasoning would probably be that they want all far lefts to know who has guns so they would know who to harass. Getting on the van wagon with Water’s logic.
Registration leads to confiscation.
It certainly enables confiscation.
yes-that is what they did in Connecticut. One wonders how they can take away the right to bear arms. I think this is one of he first amendments.
In my view, the situation in California, possibly other places too has come to this. Playing the houses game, where the deck is marked and stacked in favor of “the house”, that being the anti gun bureaucracy combined with similarly disposed elected things is obviously a loosing proposition. What is needed is the following. An individual or individuals to whom money is no concern will have to become involved on the gun owners side. Such a person or people will essentially be able to tell the state to peddle it’s hogwash elsewhere, and that we shall see you in court, that including The U.S. Supreme Court. Complying with the anti’s ever changing rules is an exercise in futility, as long since should have been realized. Others may see the thing differently, the above is my view.
