I just read a summary of this case. Since a felon is prohibited from owning a gun, if they lie on the form, they are attempting to break the law, not to mention their parole/probation (should there be some type of court ordered post incarceration supervision). So while a charge for not registering the gun may not be possible, they shouldn't own the gun. Therefore, they can be charged with violating the law, just not for failing to register the gun. Seems to be nothing more than a matter of semantics.

You DO realize that asking a felon if he owns a gun is unconstitutional... Right?
