The following gun-related bills have been signed by the Governor:

They will be awfully fast to confiscate them, but you can bet that getting them back will take nothing less than a Herculean effort involving time, aggravation, money, stress, lawyers, time wasted maneuvering the legal system, as well as the cops.

All by design.
