CONNECTICUT GUN OWNERS WAIT IN LINE TO DO SOMETHING MANY GUN OWNERS HOPE THEY NEVER HAVE TO

Connecticut residents waited in long lines on Thursday to register their firearms and high-capacity magazines before the state’s new gun laws go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.

WFSB-TV reports that a “long-line of people” stood outside the Public Safety Building in Middletown, Conn., all day to register semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. Several residents were upset with the “unconstitutional” requirement, while at least one person didn’t appear to mind.

“I understand why they’re doing it, but I don’t think it’s constitutional,” resident Scott Boccio told WFSB-TV as he was registering his guns.

Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines, told the news station that he would have a problem with it if the state was trying to ban the magazines or firearms, but said “if they want to just know where they are, that’s fine with me.”

However, not one gun owner who was registering firearms or magazines said they think the new laws will reduce gun violence.

“If people are going to do things illegally, they’re not going to be here registering their gun,” Jared Krajewski, another resident registering firearms, said.

For now, in Connecticut, the law is the law. The new gun control measures were put into place following the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn.

State police Lt. Paul Vance said that gun owners must fill our forms completely and some may require a notary.

“Connecticut residents waited in long lines on Thursday to board the boxcars to the concentration camp.”

That pretty much sums it up.

“I was wondering, did the American Colonist register weapons before Lexington and Concord? How did the British know where the cache of weapons and gun powder were at?”

Someone finked.

“Why not stand up and fight?”

Yup. Thank God someone else said it, too. Freedom is worth fighting for, to obtain or to preserve.

Interesting question, and one that has been posed many times, in many places. Everyone must answer that question for themselves.

But let me just say this: There are a hell of a lot of people, throughout many millenia, who, faced with that same question, at the end wished with all their heart and soul, with every fiber of their being, that they had chosen differently.

“I will bury my guns in cosmoline before I take part in anything like that.”

If the time comes when you have to bury them, the time has come when you have to use them.

Here's hoping Charlie gets a window seat in that boxcar to the camps...

If “it’s fine” with you telling the government where your weapons, magazines and ammo are, what will you do when they come to get them?

And ANY hackers that can easily get this info...
