Isn’t this what is known as an “ex post factor” law and illegal to enact?
You can’t make a law making something illegal and prosecute someone for violating that law before it was enacted
Who cares anymore? Nothing will be done to stop them. And if someone actually tries to hold government back, there is no one supporting them as they’re denigrated and chastised
It’s a joke and I’m getting ready to give it up cause no one has the gumption to stand up and say “ no more”.
“Isn’t this what is known as an “ex-post-facto” law and illegal to enact?”
Somewhere in the Constitution it says,
“Congress shall pass no ex-post-facto laws or bills of attainder.”
It seems to fit the definition of un-constitutional, but these gun-grabbers really don’t care about a constitution of “negtive liberties”, as described by the President.
We live in scary times.
IMHO
Therefore, with what you concern yourself at this point is moot.

Wiki says ex post facto enforcement of new laws is unconstitutional .
That doesn’t necessarily make it illegal in Connecticut.

That said, I think this is a prank— it just teeters over the edge of credibility.
The people violated the law by not registering their firearms before Jan 1, 2014. An ex post facto law would be making a law retroactive to a date before it was enacted.
The law forbids owning something, and requires owners of things to register them. Failure to register, and continuing to own after the ban, are violations committed after the law was passed.
This is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment; it is a clear infringement on the "right of the People to keep and bear Arms."
