Hartford Courant demands blood in the streets if that's what it takes for firearms confiscation. Only thing is, they don't seem to believe that it will be THEIR risk they're running. Silly sods.
"State Can't Let Gun Scofflaws Off Hook -- Gun Registration: Break the law, pay the price." I don't think they appreciate the dimensions of the problem Lawlor and Malloy have made for themselves.But the bottom line is that the state must try to enforce the law. Authorities should use the background check database as a way to find assault weapon purchasers who might not have registered those guns in compliance with the new law. A Class D felony calls for a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Even much lesser penalties or probation would mar a heretofore clean record and could adversely affect, say, the ability to have a pistol permit.
If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences.
Yeah, right, you morons. That also applies to you and the Law of Unintended Consequences. David Codrea points out: "Courant demands on gun enforcement present dilemma for state."
And have they considered what having their bluff called will do to produce an epiphany, and embolden gun owners everywhere, when it suddenly becomes clear to all who holds the true power in this country if they would only first realize and then exercise it?

I don’t think these leftists have thought to recall what happened to Musolini. If they try it, hanging from a light pole should be the best they could hope for.

The editors of the Courant should be assigned to lead any gun confiscation raids that take place. Let’s see if they’re willing to put their bodies where their mouths are.

They do, it’s spelled out in the article. The state will use the existing database to locate the scofflaws, send them a letter, then see if they comply.

The book is out there on the web for free download.
Even Wiki has a good description.
Feel free (yet anyway) to do some web research.

They want peace and the end to violence. That’s why they want to get rid of guns. And they are willing to kill to make it happen.
No irony here.

If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences.
The 0bama administration, to say nothing of 20 million or so illegal aliens running freely throughout the country, has made it abundantly clear that the concept of "the law" is no longer of any importance in America.
