Homeowner was arrested by police, not because of the shooting, but because the handgun he used he had inherited from his father but never registered the change in ownership with the state. Now he is facing a felony charge.
I have a really hard time not seeing this as an infringement of the right to bear arms. If a poll tax is an impediment to voting, registering a firearm (and paying the associated fee) is an impediment to keeping arms. A person is not required to register other items inherited except for motor vehicles. I wish that a case like this could be used to smack NY upside the head over the 2nd Amendment.
I would argue that you don't have to register the vehicle unless it is going to be on public roads. At least, that's the case in TX.
