Gun confiscations is one step closer in Connecticut. The mainstream media spins it as “one more chance” for non-compliant gun owners who failed to register their scary guns before the January 1 deadline.
In reality, these letters - 106 to rifle owners, and 108 more to residents with standard capacity magazines – are the first step in the Connecticut State Police beginning to round up guns arbitrarily made illegal last year in that state. These guns include America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15 and magazines over 10 rounds, which include the standard capacity magazines made for that America’s favorite rifle.
Failure to register is now a felony now in Connecticut.
How long will it be before there is bloodshed over this law? We’re not sure, but we’re confident it is coming unless the law is rescinded or struck down by the courts.

OK - so where is the NRA on this issue?

Manchester, CT (Journal Inquirer) – **When state officials decided to accept some gun registrations and magazine declarations that arrived after a Jan. 4 deadline, they also had to deal with those applications that didn’t make the cut.
The state now holds signed and notarized letters saying those late applicants own rifles and magazines illegally.
But rather than turn that information over to prosecutors, state officials are giving the gun owners a chance to get rid of the weapons and magazines.**

Break...

So, what happened to the "500,000 criminals"?
106 letters? 108 letters?
Is that Connecticut LE in the picture? What a fascist-looking uniform.
Time to clear out of CT. I feel badly for the rural people. City dwellers should move to another state.
Does CT have elected County Sheriffs?
OK, I get it.
200-some-odd tried to register (dummies) but their applications weren't accepted.
But now...
bullets first.

Ruling Upholds Connecticut’s Expansive Firearm and Magazine Bans Despite Findings that Banned Items are Commonly Used for Lawful Purposes

Connecticut was designated the “Constitution State” by the General Assembly in 1959. As early as the 19th Century, John Fiske, a popular historian from Connecticut, made the claim that the Fundamental Orders of 1638/39 were the first written constitution in history. Some contemporary historians dispute Fiske's analysis. However, Simeon E. Baldwin, a former Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, defended Fiske's view of the Fundamental Orders in Osborn's History of Connecticut in Monographic Form by stating that "never had a company of men deliberately met to frame a social compact for immediate use, constituting a new and independent commonwealth, with definite officers, executive and legislative, and prescribed rules and modes of government, until the first planters of Connecticut came together for their great work on January 14th, 1638-9." The text of the Fundamental Orders is reproduced in Section I of this volume and the original is on permanent display at the Museum of Connecticut History at the State Library.
Connecticut has also been known as the “Nutmeg State”, the “Provisions State”, and the “Land of Steady Habits”. source:

That’s a state cop. Pray for us.
If *she* pulled me over for any reason.....I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing. Really.
Yep. That’s us. Ironic, no?
I hang my head in shame at what we have become.
If they know who they are to send them letters, what’s the registration for?
They were against the original legislation, but I just checked the NRA-ILA.org website and it is oddly silent on the current crisis in CT. Even the news section that links to other websites. I found two articles. One from before the illegal “law” was passed, the other was the NYT article that came out a few days ago.
As an NRA Life member, I’m not amused.
>Failure to register is now a felony now in Connecticut.
How does a state law violation become a federal felony?
At least the hand is off the trigger and the muzzle pointed away from people.
Ok... That’s better. Wonder why my search didn’t find that article?
My Search Fu needs more coffee...
Pretty much, this is the moment they were designed to be used for and why the Second Amendment is in place.
It’s no longer speculation.
They mean to MAKE you comply.
