After Connecticut enacted one of the most draconian gun-control regimes in America, official estimates suggest that the overwhelming majority of the citizens targeted by the latest assault on gun rights failed to comply. Indeed, analysts say it appears that most people largely ignored the new statute, which purports to ban numerous non-registered “assault” weapons and standard-capacity magazines. Now, despite resistance by the governor, state lawmakers are reportedly “scrambling” to come up with a possible amnesty plan allowing gun owners to register past the deadline.

“Of all of my gun-owning friends I only know 1 who registered his magazines. And even he didn’t register his so-called assault weapon. “

He shouldn’t have registered the mags. It’s a flag for a rifle.

Show up in force and make them arrest you. Tie up their court system and fight them to the bitter end.

I like the plan, but can the State confiscate before the trial?

“isn’t the refusal to comply with an unpopular law the American way?”

Yes, Americans are natural born anarchists. If they dom’t like a law they don’t obey it.

Have Connecticut’s gun owners nullified the “draconian law?”

Why bother with amnesty? The law itself is invalid because it is unconstitutional. Laws without legitimacy do not require amnesty; that’s what jury nullification is for.

Compliance with Tyranny is Treason.

Now we know who the true Patriots are, and they aren’t lining up to be “Registered” like the Jews in 1936 Berlin.

The first ones they should go after are the ones who Voted for the Idiot Governor and his Minions in the Legislature.
