Who is the registered gun owner? If not one of the people arrested, the owner should be arrested as a participant in this robbery if if they were not present. They are just as responsible.

Sorry for the typo. I meant:

Who is the registered gun owner? If not one of the people arrested, the owner should be arrested as a participant in this robbery even if they were not present. They are just as responsible.

@gun you don't have to register handguns in California.

Why the **** not? Gun registration would be a very effective way to reduce gun crime and gun accidents. We register our cars. Why not guns?

California Law: All handgun serial numbers and sales are recorded by the state (registered) in the Department of Justice’s Automated Firearms System. Long arm serial numbers are not recorded, only the sale. While there is no requirement for California residents to register previously owned handguns or firearms with law enforcement, §12025 and §12031 enhance several misdemeanor offenses to felonies if the handgun is not on file in the Department of Justice’s Automated Firearms System. California §12025 states that handguns must be transported unloaded and in a locked box other than the glove compartment or utility box in a motor vehicle. New residents must register handguns (purchased outside of California) with DOJ within 60 days.
