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

[stephen87]

I really wanna feel for gun owners in Connecticut, but I wonder how many off them got off their fat asses and called their legislators when the bill was being debated. If they had been involved when the time was appropriate, they wouldn't be felons now (and unjustly or not, they ARE felons). We keep saying that "this is a wake up call for the politicians", but somehow it's not a wake up call for the voters.

You know I'm on board with contacting reps, but what about those who contacted and weren't listened to? It's not always the people, but a lot of times, the politician making choices of what they want.

I like the whole non-compliance thing. I wonder if it would happen if there was such a law nation wide. Only time will tell.

There is already a nationwide law. Can you own a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16 inches without registration and $200 tax?

Never happen fortunately as I don't think congress has enough member that would support national registration.

I'm still trying to figure out how they don't understand what "shall not be infringed" means...

I think that would be a little different. I understand what you are saying but I think the a lot has changed since the NFA was passed. I think that a lot more people were worried about feeding their families than they were about their gun rights. I also think that gun ownership was not as threatened as it is today. Thus, no need for firearms PAC's and lobbying groups. There is also a constant flow of communication that was not present back then.

Wow. How does he fit his balls in those pants?

Actually, I think The Dutchman calls Pinson, AL home.

This letter could effectively be considered an artifact of history decades from now.

Civil disobedience is what made this country in the first place. Connecticut's deal is small potatoes though. If you really want an act of civil disobedience that will bring the US government to it's knees, a country wide income tax boycott would do the trick.

Connecticut halts plans to round up firearms after finding most cops in the state are on the list | Call the Cops

...Just over 68% of Connecticut cops had failed to register firearms according to the new law.

If the cops aren't in compliance with the law, who will then enforce the law? Are they really going to fire over half of the police force in the entire state then hire and retrain new recruits?

No they won't! As you see, the whole shebang is unpopular by quite a few people...

Pretty short on references, like none.

That is an easy fix, just do like NY and exempt the officers.

The deal is, the officers seems to not want to participate in the gun confiscation

I believe that report is a satire.

"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.

Truth. Then again, most politicians seek out echo chambers and assume more people think like them then actually do.
