It did not work in CA ... 2,500 guns were confiscated
This really isn't the same situation. In the California case, the AG permitted the continued registration of banned firearms for years after the deadline for registration. Since it appeared to several anti-gun groups the this practice was going to go on indefinitely, they sued to stop the AG. The AG's mistake was letting the registration go way beyond a reasonable accommodation for people just a little late. The confiscation was the result of the anti-gun folks arguing successfully that the guns registered after the deadline should have been disqualified from registration and therefore illegal.
In this case, there are well defined conditions and a finite set of applications that are included in this "waiver" action. I really doubt California set any type of precedence for the situation we have here. Also, since it's been two days since the MSP news release and the AG has NOT issued any contrary statements, he has effectively condoned/approved the message. Unless it can be shown that the press release was some type of fraud, I think anyone acting in good faith with respect to the Advisory and press release cannot be shown to have had specific intent to break the law.
I'm not a lawyer, but sometimes wish I were.
