Not if Canada was his final destination, and he didn't do the paperwork, because then his final destination would not be a place he could legally possess the guns.

One would assume that his final destination would now be Florida.... he didn't actually GO anywhere that was not legal, he never intended NY to be his final destination, he was turned around at the border and it could reasonably be concluded that his new final destination would be home, in Florida. This should be treated no differently than if he went 50 miles into NY and realized he forgot something and turned around, or his car broke down, or someone in FL got sick... he is simply no longer making the trip as planned, nothing illegal at all.
I mean, should someone be arrested on felony charges for forgetting (or not knowing) to fill out a form?
