California's heads up, part two

A while back I noted a report that an LA County task force composed of deputies and ATFE agents was executing search warrants aimed at unregistered fiearms. I've since gotten a relayed email from someone who says they have relatives in LAPD, and a friend who is retired ATFE, and none have heard anything about this.

Just did a quick Google News search for California and Assault Weapon, and there's been no news of any relevant type. I'd assume that if this were going on, some politician or PR person somewhere would have boasted of it to the press.

Unless I can find some confirmation, I'd tend to see this as a false alarm. Looking over the original information, the hard info given is that (1) there is a gun task force, and (2) that it searched and arrested one person. The conclusion that it was part of a wider plan doesn't have any data given in support.
