Feds Seize Land Rovers From Owners in Nationwide Raids Over Bad Paperwork
Feds claim vehicles, about 40 of them, were illegally imported
Some 40 Land Rover owners across the U.S. woke up Tuesday morning to police and federal investigators knocking on their doors and demanding they hand over their trucks. Officials say it's part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the illegal importation of Land Rovers into this country, Jalopnik has learned.
But that will likely come as little consolation to the 40 owners of the Land Rover 90s, 110s and Defenders, many of whom contest what federal authorities claim about the legality of their cars.

So why are you gun nuts worried about registration? We register cars and the government doesn't confiscate them, does it?
