The Resistance Begins: New York Gun Owners Refuse to Register; “Largest Act of Civil Disobedience in State History”
Mac Slavo
January 25th, 2013
With emotions running high in the aftermath of the Newtown Sandy Hook shooting, politicians on the State and Federal level have begun introducing legislative actions to curtail access to firearms protected by the Second Amendment. In Missouri, parents may soon be forced to register firearms with their child’s school under threat of criminal penalties. In Massachusetts, another proposal would require storage of semi-automatic rifles at government approved storage depots. And, in the State of New York, congressional representatives have already passed legislation that requires registration of every semi-automatic rifle and reduces maximum magazine capacity to 7 rounds of ammunition, and Governor Cuomo has floated the idea of gun confiscation.
Now, in what is sure to be a growing trend across the entire country, New York gun owners are organizing a resistance against what many believe to be the most, “brazen infringement on the right to keep and bear arms anywhere in the nation,” according to The New American:
Preparations are already being made for mass resistance.
“I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said President Brian Olesen with American Shooters Supply, among the biggest gun dealers in the state, in an interview with the New York Post.
Even government officials admit that forcing New Yorkers to register their guns will be a tough sell, and they are apparently aware that massive non-compliance will be the order of the day. “Many of these assault-rifle owners aren’t going to register; we realize that,’’ a source in the Cuomo administration told the Post, adding that officials expect “widespread violations” of the new statute.
Threats of imprisoning gun owners for up to a year and confiscating their weapons are already being issued by governor’s office, headed by a rabid anti-Second Amendment extremist who suggested before the bill passed that “confiscation” of all semi-automatic rifles was being considered. If tens or even hundreds of thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens refuse to comply, however, analysts say New York would either have to start raising taxes and building a lot more prisons, or give up on the scheme that experts say will do nothing to reduce violence and that lawmakers say is aimed at eventual confiscation.
Activists involved in the state-wide boycott against the unconstitutional statute who spoke to the Post almost taunted authorities, saying gun owners would essentially dare authorities to “come and take it away.”
According to the paper, leaders of some of the state’s hundreds of gun clubs, dealers, and non-profit organizations, citing the New York Constitution’s guarantee that gun rights “cannot be infringed,” are currently involved in organizing the resistance. Among the primary concerns is that, with registration, authorities would know where to go for confiscation, an idea already proposed openly by Governor Cuomo himself.
“They’re saying, ‘F— the governor! F— Cuomo! We’re not going to register our guns,’ and I think they’re serious. People are not going to do it. People are going to resist,” explained State Rifle and Pistol Association President Tom King, who also serves on the National Rifle Association board of directors. “They’re taking one of our guaranteed civil rights, and they’re taking it away.”
Opponents of the right to bear arms, take heed. The American people know what you’re up to and they will not stand for it.
The resistance has begun.
The state has to know you have the weapon, to know enough to cancel your license. It's those folks the State doesn't know about that pose the problem.
The Missouri bill is going nowhere...
I am over 50 years old and have my wife and two children still at home. All four of us are ready and willing to fight to the death for our GOD given rights. No holds barred. We will fight if the US Government tries to enslave us.
“People are not going to do it. People are going to resist,”
Stage two is us standing up for those caught up by this law.
“NOPE, the date is April 15th, 2014 to complete registration.

Assault weapons must be sold off by 15 January 2014 to avoid registration. “
Thank you for the clarification.
Of course, those from communist/socialist countries know the score, and appreciate what America offers — or used to offer.>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes!
Here is a video you would like to watch of a Chinese man in front of the Massachusetts State Legislature, a naturalized US citizen. I do not think Feinstein’s initiative will survive long, even if passed as a bill into law:

Thank you for responding I’ve been slathering postings in FR’s with campaign suggestions such as what you responded to for years and I began to feel it’s been a waste of time .
Chicago political “mechanics” is “in your face” campaigning not the woosy tippy toey krap the GOPES use . That’s because GOPES rely on issue polling created by the mainlining socialist media and respond to it and not to the “bread and butter” concerns of the average voter which cuts across all demographics. Check out my website
http://www.theusmat.com/ This site discusses why Republicans lost and what I mean about issues..
A word about the achronym choice G(government)O(of)P(the people)ES(elite(s)I like it because it’s easier to associate the meaning if you change the letter G to a D.
While you will never find a GOPE refering to a member of the Democrat party as a Demo-Com it rolls out easier than what they really are which is fascist. Inmelt and Buffett are fascist pigs as well as others that includes Pelosi,Reid, and dozens of others who have used their political party influence or position to advance their station in life at the expence of the tax payer.
I also have one about campaigning http://www.theusmat.com/home.htm which I haven’t updated in 2+ years.
There’s a “central command” the demo-coms are using and why their campaign themes are uniform. Often those assertions are so subtle that their direction is obfuscated until they emerge later and it becomes clear what they’re after.Usually an attack on the constitution. If you watch ABC,NBC,CBS, CNN etc they pound away with the same propaganda line sometimes offering a variation on a theme. But they don’t deviate from the topic.
What I advocated particularly in Free Republic and had posted a vanity on it. Was when a posting a “news” outlet report propaganda. Do a review. citing the article source (where published) and the authors name and take the piece apart. That also should be done with network news.

His daughter Nancy is a total nutball ~ so who knows ~ like I referred to them, Southern European criminal class.
FYI, saying that to the wrong person (even in jest) can be hazardous to your health.
I know. I learned that from my Irish father-in-law who used to do exactly that in the East Boston Italian club. He tried to tweak me with that line too. Didn’t work.
Brooklyn used to be HEAVILY Italian immigrant. Is it still that way? Eastie has totally changed since the 70s...

Please be with every one of the New York people who fight this cause.
AMEN
That bitch sure acts invisible, bulletproof and protected.
I don’t know where it was from. I picked it up from another post and loved it
Time to start building a Gallows across the Street from the State Capitol Buildings in MA and NY.
