This woman is a frequent contributor to the HC.....she may be on the payroll.
Her screeds are over-the-top and she is a useful idiot for the HC anti-agenda. She deserves the mockery and derision that she has been getting on gun forums. To laugh.
Wow!
Pam, so you’re advocating that 330,000 people be tracked down, arrested, charged with a felony, and then imprisoned? Tracked down how? House-to-house search of every house in Connecticut? Do you have ANY idea how many resources would be required to do these searches, arrest this many people, run this many people through the courts and imprison this many people? Why you’d have to build at least a 100 new prisons alone.
How much taxes would need to be raised to accomplish this? And then the taxpayers would have to support the wives and children of the 330,000 felons, which would be about another million people made destitute. And then what about the 330,000 or so mortgages that would go unpaid and the 330,000 foreclosures performed on the 330,000 empty houses then dumped on the market? Wonder what all of this would do to the economy of Connecticut?
You know what, Pam? You’re nuttier than a fruitcake and have less intelligence than a box of hammers.
A hammer is a useful tool. So is Pam though the first one is actually productive.

Not tracked down, just get turned in by Collaborators.
The Letter writer would have been a great Collaborator for the Nazi Regime, any Communist Regime and any Fascist Regime that existed throughout History. I’m surprised she didn’t send the Letter from North Korea.
The Authorities make something that was Legal, Illegal. They create overnight Felons, people who one day were Lawful Citizens minding their own Business and the next become Scape Goats targeted by the all powerful Government.
Never thought I would see the day. The Useful Idiots really did it this time.
THAT is the pertinent question.
When one buys a long gun, there is no record of what type of long gun it is.
Sure, they know how many AR-style rifles were bought in Konnecticut, and they know who bought a "long gun" - but no way to tell which of those households the ARs belong to.
They would have to:
a) Get a search warrent for several hundred thousand houses in Konnectucut, or
b) Perform "no-knock" raids on several hundred thousand houses in Konnectucut.
Legally, a purchase of an ambiguous "long gun" cannot constitute probable cause for a search warrant, and
several hundred thousand "no knock" searches would draw a ton of flak (not metaphorical flak, either).

The current background check system was designed precisely for this. They’ll use it when push comes to shove.
You know, though your posting does give me some interesting ideas about civil protests. If some 200 thousand such folks just showed up in Hartford one day(without guns) and demanded to be arrested and jailed right then and there for having illegal guns that they will never turn over..the whole legal apparatus would just break down as the politicians would be forced to face an instant blowback result to their schemes.
200 thousand is what...a large division in the army? Even the state’s national guard couldn’t handle the numbers. You think Obama might send regular army in to support a state law and crack down on peaceful civil resistance...the rest of the country’s gun owners would say “nuts” to that notion!
Just show up non peacefully stating I am John Q patriot..gun owner and I refuse to register my weapons. Force the elitists to bare their fangs so that we can get them out in the open where we can what they really are! Jam up the system the way leftists did in Milwaukee.
