A Californian from a prominent farming family tried to register his guns online in order to satisfy the most recent gun confiscation law. But instead, his home was raided, his guns seized, and he has been charged with 12 felonies. If this doesn’t scare gun owners and keep them from registering their guns, nothing will.  Jeffrey Scott Kirschenmann took pictures of all of his guns and sent them in as he tried to register his guns online. The next thing he heard was when the police showed up at his door with a search warrant, and they placed him under arrest and charged him with 12 felonies as they took all of his guns.

Bakersfield, CA – A member of a prominent farming family was charged with a dozen weapons-related felonies, after he attempted to comply with California’s state-mandated gun registration laws.

According to court documents, Jeffrey Scott Kirschenmann’s home was raided in April, after he attempted to register an AR-15 using the state of California’s website, KGET reported.

Kirschenmann is the CEO of Scott Kirschenmann Farms, Inc., which is one of the chief potato suppliers for Frito Lay.

The businessman was attempting to comply with California’s ever-tightening gun laws, one of which required gun owners to register “assault-style weapons” by the end of June.

He electronically submitted photographs of his AR-15 as part of the registration process, and soon became the focus of a California Department of Justice investigation.

According to court documents, the weapon was “illegally modified,” and served as grounds for the Department of Justice (DoJ) to raid Kirschenmann’s home.
