HARTFORD, Conn. – Connecticut officials are urging owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish them to the police or make them permanently inoperable. The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection announced Friday it had sent a letter to owners who had failed to register the items by a Jan. 1 deadline, part of last year's gun control law. Officials offered advice on what to do now with the weapons and magazines.

Look for them to hide them.

Tell them to pound sand. Obviously Connecticut is “the” test state to see how this “experiment” will pan out. Probably met the criteria as being the most likely state where it would succeed by the feds.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

What they are doing is illegal per the Constitutuion. I don’t care if they tridd to circumvent it uing. “state” law it’s still unconstitutional.

I think that these were the people that TRIED to register the guns... but *surprise* the applications were rejected. Now Connecticut is telling these people they "failed to register the weapons."

[BCR #226]

The people there need to resist and refuse to comply. This is a keystone event and a historic one. The people of Connecticut need to stand against this crap and they need to stand strong!

No Surrender! No Compromise!

[struggle]

Good luck! I heard there have been a lot of canoe accidents lately.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

How long are they going to put up with this crap ?

[P-Marlowe]

Democrats routinely ignore laws that they don’t like.

[BenLurkin]

Bingo

[Kirkwood]

They could just require the people without guns to be registered. Then by elimination, the rest are those nasty gun owners.

Watch gun owners burn registration forms

Civil disobedience over firearms spreads to New York
Published: 6 days ago

by Bob Unruh

A looming crisis for Connecticut law enforcement officials – the potential that they have 350,000 new felons in their state – soon will expand to New York, where officials have set an April 15 deadline for owners to register weapons that have features the state says are characteristic of “assault” weapons.

The two states are among many re-defining ordinary guns that as many as hundreds of thousands of people own and demanding a registration that Second Amendment supporters view as a violation of the U.S. Constitution.

When the registration program was imposed in Connecticut, a massive number of weapon owners simply ignored the requirement, putting the state in a position of deciding whether the law will be enforced. If so, the problem is what to do with the 350,000 people now subject to felony charges.

In Connecticut, there was no grandfathering for people who already possess the weapons. Branford resident John Cinque challenged two of the members of the legislature, Sen. Leonard Fasano and Rep. Dave Yaccarino, both Republicans.

“I tell everybody I’m not complying,” Cinque said. “I can’t – you have to be willing to stand up and say no. And there are a lot of us who are going to say no.”

An ABC affiliate reported the resistance now has spread to New York.

Barack Obama and especially Eric Holder have demonstrated we are no longer a nation under rule of law.

Ergo, laws no longer apply to citizens, no matter what they say or do.

The first type of registration (guns) leads to the second

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good luck with that.

[The Working Man]

It’s going to take massive Civil Disobedience. Who’s going to blink first?

My guess is that the state will do some heavily advertised SWAT raids on selected people. What occurs after that could lead us into Civil War or to the ouster of all the current Politicians and hopefully long jail sentences for them too.
