Looks like a spoof. The feds normally grab the DNS entry and redirect when they steal a domain. This appears to be a graphic stuck on the defensedistributed.com server.
As I mentioned to Gary Marbut the other day, satire and spoofs of politicians and govgoons is getting pretty tough when what they really do looks like an Onion article.

I smell spoof, for the reason Bear mentioned, and the fact that storing an image on a seized domain could be considered tampering with evidence. I expect a gag announcement from them tomorrow.

Has to be a spoof. Everyone knows that the government does stuff like this on April 19.

William Grigg was reporting a couple hours ago that it’s a confirmed spoof.
No official news whether it’s an April Fools Joke, but this forum post has evidence that it probably is: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=736390
