Connecticut gun owners refuse to register "assult weapons"...deadline passed

[backfire]

I'm glad to see some residents there have some stones to make a stand! The sheeple line of folk's that stood inline in the cold a couple of months ago to give up their Constitutional Rights should be ashamed of themselves...

Officials in Connecticut Stunned by What Could Be a Massive, State-Wide Act of ?Civil Disobedience? by Gun Owners | TheBlaze.com

"At roughly 50,000 applications, officials estimate that as little as 15 percent of the covered semi-automatic rifles have actually been registered with the state. “No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000,” the report states.

Lawlor, the undersecretary for criminal justice policy in the state Office of Policy and Management, also suggested that the legislature should reopen the registration period to encourage more gun owners to register their firearms.[/QUOTE]
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh......Riighhhtttttttttttttt!

There are several threads devoted to this topic in the 2a subgroup.

I saw this recently as well. I dare say (and hope) it's a massive FLOP, good for those who decided not to participate. Not sure I'd go so far as to call it "civil disobedience", but I like that they're putting some dirt in the eyes of the political machine out there. November is just around the corner, so really, what are the elected really going to do to enforce this?

Looks like it's your move Conn. officials. What'cha gonna do now?

Mike Lawlor, “the state’s top official in criminal justice,” suggested maybe the firearms unit in Connecticut could “sent them a letter.” However, he said an aggressive push to prosecute gun owners in the state is not going to happen at this point.

How could they "send them a letter" ????? Have they had "Registration Logs", for a while ?????

Funny this infringement coming from the state that calls itself "The Constitution State".

Glad to see people taking a stand.

Very interested to see how this plays out.

"Guglielmo said he really thought the “vast majority would register.”"

Typical politician that doesn't care about or pay attention to what his constituents think.

Well this should send a powerful message to him about how serious an issue this is to all those that are taking on the risk of being charged with a felony.

Are the officials willing to take it that far? Are they willing to turn otherwise productive citizens of the state into felons and everything that decision would entail?

The nation is watching carefully Conn.

I am somewhat surprised only 15% have registered. I agree, it will be interesting to see how this plays out from here.

I think somebody won't be seeking reelection next time around

To be fair, I think there are plenty of like-minded, 2A-believing people in states who are oppressed by their mega-city politicians. My wife's family lives in IL, and I've heard them complain more often than not about how Chicago screws it up for the rest of their state.

I know plenty of potential felons in Illinois. They just happen to be law abiding citizens and haven't been busted by the powers that be

The sad part is that one has to go out of their way and put effort into not being a felon these days. It used to be you just didn't do bad things [no robbing, stealing, killing, attacking, etc] and you were not a criminal.

very true. i have always wondered if the north west part of our state is like that being so close to Chicago. i am sure there are lots of Illicagos up there wishing Indiana was more like there blessed home state. thanks that the majority of Hoosier will always stand true to their state.

I too am surprised it was that low. If MA did it ( well we have a defacto type regisitry like MI already...) There woould be over 75% compliance. There would be people who refused west of Worcester.
Good for the citizens of CT. Also interesteing what some upstate NY sherrifs ad DA's have done in refusing to enforce or prosecute

Glad I live here. I hope they stand their ground
