Well, well....big-bad Peterson is fraidy-scared?

Funny how the First and Second Amendments complement each other.

If anybody tries “kicking down my door”, they are likely to get killed. How is that a “threat”? It’s simply a statement of fact.

.. has been placed on 24-hour guard due to threats on his life.

” I applaud the efforts of patriots like John Cinque and others who have drawn a line in the sand, and unlike a certain occupant of the White House, don’t blink when the line is crossed.”

OH SNAP

[Chickensoup]

He hasn’t been fired? No one with this sort of attitude should be policing the public.

Apology is not enough.

"The first words out of the police chief's mouth… were 'How can you help us with this?'" Cinque said...

My answer would have been: Unless you can provide evidence that you, in your capacity as a chief of police, formally and publically OPPOSED the passage of Connecticut's new unconstitutional gun laws PRIOR to their illegal adoption, then there is NOTHING I can or will do to help you.

[DJ Taylor]

This path leads directly to Lexington Bridge.

“How can you help us with this?”

Uh, you idiots got yourselves into it, get your own darn selves out.
Ta-ta...LOL.

The Police can’t fix what the CT legislature broke.

What they CAN do, is make a clear statement that their responsibility to uphold the Constitution trumps the legislature’s UNconstitutional actions.

And therefore, they will NOT participate in any gun confiscation, intended by such a law.

I wonder how often the Branford, CT police department provides 24 hour guards for ‘regular’ people who have received death threats.

It seems to me a tough, highly trained police officer would be much better able to take care of himself following a few threats than, say, a battered wife whose psychotic spouse and his psychotic family have vowed to kill her.

But it’s a safe bet the Branford, CT police department would not provide 24 hour guard for such a woman.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Resist bad law. Resist penalties for resisting bad law.

[IronJack]

Kick down my door you tinhorn Gestapo and it will cost you a lot more than your left nut.

[Kartographer]

"Threats of violence are not the way to go about things."

I disagree it is the cold reality of violence that has this Police Department's attention, It is the fact that their violence could be returned to them 10, 100, 1000 fold that has brought them to the table. Otherwise they would have simple did just as Peterson boasted.

[tacticalogic]

The cops are looking for defuse this through diplomacy.

Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie!" while you look for a rock.

[skinkinthegrass]

yeah..funny that, the 2nd Admt. defends the first..10th
for that matter, the foundation of the Bill or Rights.
IF the Bill of Rights had been properly used it would have slowed
WW in his tracks; (hopefully) THEN FDR/LBJ/RMN/WJBC &
Dictator B@$t@rd wouldn't have gotten far.

A few questions? Are his friends in the department guarding him with assault rifles? Do they have more than 10 rounds in their magazine? Why do they need this type of fire power against one intruder?

[ryan71]

Wow! This really hammers home the sensibility and functionality of the Second Amendment. Thousands of law abiding gun owners, peaceful, yet very insistent this law goes far beyond “infringement”. The state government of Connecticut appears very small. That power is impressive.

[Joe Boucher]

looking very much forward to seeing how this plays out in Ct.
Love to see a cop goon squad rushing homes to take weapons away from lawful owners.
That should endear the cops to a whole lot of folks.
