Admittedly convoluted but honestly asked question, RE: registration laws [View all]
It is established case precedent that a person intent on using a gun to commit a crime cannot be charged with failing to register their gun because doing something would violate their 5th Amendment protections against being forced to incriminate themselves (Haynes v US)
But suppose someone intended to violate no law except the law requiring registration? What could they be charged with?
