And you never hear about it on the news.
And they could continue to do all of those things after getting their weapon rechambered to a 22LR or a 9x19.

Those calibers would not be particularly effective against military opponents, so I'll keep my 5.56, 30.06, .45, 7mm, and 7.62 thanks.

That's exactly the point.  The second amendment is about your right to defend yourself augment the military and police if needed.  It was not contemplated that you would be against them.

Gov. Ron DeSantis to WaPo, ‘legacy media’ after ‘smear’ attempt: ‘We don’t care what you think anymore’ | Fox News

...DeSantis also called out media for continuing to push hit pieces against his administration.

"I think what we need to understand is that these legacy D.C. and New York outlets – we don’t care what you think anymore. We know you peddle narratives. We know you lie. We know you don’t care about the facts. And so you can try to smear me or anyone in my administration all you want to. All that’s going to do is embolden us to continue moving forward for the people in Florida," DeSantis said...

Probably an overreaction by DeSantis, but WaPo did not need to publish that story.  
If a person forgets to file the appropriate paperwork, but files it immediately when reminded, that's not news.
WaPo should focus on the news.
However it was certainly the case that 20 years ago a legal technicality exposed by MSM could derail your whole political career. Thankfully people are sick of this now.
