HARTFORD -- Laws that allow police to confiscate guns in cases of domestic violence will be better enforced with the help of a new centralized computer system, the state's victim advocate said Monday.

In a 40-page investigative report, James F. Papillo also criticizes Shelton Police for not taking guns last year from a man accused of harassing, stalking and threatening his ex-girlfriend, who had a restraining order against him.

Go ahead, register your guns. The Government will never use that informtion to confiscate them...

If local departments do not have manpower to confiscate handguns, they could ask the state police for help taking the weapons,

Why in the world would there be a problem with confiscating weapons? Can't they just tell the peasant to turn them over? Har!

Papillo said some police departments are not aware that subjects of restraining orders must surrender their handguns in two business days.

Because as we all know, one can kill someone only with a handgun.

I just read "Unintended Consequences."

Anyone out there concerned with 2A rights going away, please read this. It's a great read.
