This was true in New York City:
In 1991, New York City Mayor David Dinkins railroaded a bill through the
city council banning possession of many semiautomatic rifles, claiming that
they were actually assault weapons. Scores of thousands of residents who had
registered in 1967 and scrupulously obeyed the law were stripped of their
right to own their guns. Police are now using the registration lists to
crack down on gun owners; police have sent out threatening letters, and
policemen have gone door-to-door demanding that people surrender their guns,
according to Stephen Halbrook, a lawyer and author of two books on gun
control.

It may be, somewhere, but all I've seen is the movies that run in the
heads of paranoid gun nutz.
