Connecticut residents waited in long lines on Thursday to register their firearms and high-capacity magazines before the state’s new gun laws go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
WFSB-TV reports that a “long-line of people” stood outside the Public Safety Building in Middletown, Conn., all day to register semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. Several residents were upset with the “unconstitutional” requirement, while at least one person didn’t appear to mind.
“I understand why they’re doing it, but I don’t think it’s constitutional,” resident Scott Boccio told WFSB-TV as he was registering his guns.
Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines, told the news station that he would have a problem with it if the state was trying to ban the magazines or firearms, but said “if they want to just know where they are, that’s fine with me.”
However, not one gun owner who was registering firearms or magazines said they think the new laws will reduce gun violence.
“If people are going to do things illegally, they’re not going to be here registering their gun,” Jared Krajewski, another resident registering firearms, said.
For now, in Connecticut, the law is the law. The new gun control measures were put into place following the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
State police Lt. Paul Vance said that gun owners must fill our forms completely and some may require a notary.
Interesting philosophical attempt, but ultimately that would be the Congress/administration that is transgressing the law.
Our responsibility is at a different level. We aren’t policing our body politic for integrity. We have a Constitution. We’d have less problems, possibly a lot less, if we insisted more on integrity TO the Constitution.
That's the first question that comes to my mind, every time I read about this registration cr@pola. Let the criminals go first.
So you’re advocating the murder of...someone...because the state enacts a registration scheme? I hope I misunderstand. I can’t condone such a thing; in fact, I condemn it. Silently refusing to register is fine in my book as an act of civil disobedience, but not acts of violence against...well, who exactly? Do not allow yourself to be provoked into rash acts. Your enemies are aching for some fool to pull something before the elections; they would see it as a gift from above to draw attention from the fact that they are running America into the ground. In fact, if nobody is fool enough to oblige them, I fully expect at least one manufactured incident before November. Probably more. Again, I hope that I have misinterpreted your post.
If an agent of the state, acting outside the law, breaks into your home and kills you is it murder?
This is not entirely rhetorical: it happens so commonly there's a term for it — no knock raid
.
This is without registration, with registration they basically have a list of names that they can kill or otherwise dispose of
at will.
We've already seen the response of the government to Treason and, incidentally, State Sponsored Terrorism with Fast & Furious: nothing.
We've also seen that they will commit treason under the color of law, and that the courts will make logically incomprehensible decisions to continue allowing it. (The War on Drugs is a war on the Several States, therefore treason; it was held by the USSC in Gonzalez v. Raich that the non-commerce of drugs, falls under the drug-laws which are derived from the interstate commerce-clause as expanded to intrastate via Wickard v Filburn.)
So, having this list of gun-owners means one thing: a list of probable perpetrators, dangers to the state, provided to a group of people who can murder you with no consequence. It cannot end well.
but not acts of violence against...well, who exactly?
Any agent who says you must do this as opposed to those who flat-out say this is illegal and I cannot/will-not allow it.

Then what? Bend over and take it?
Is Justice worth so little to you that nothing would impel you to take up arms against abuse?
Is "peace" worth so much to you that you would condone the forced enslavement of your countrymen to petty and whimsical 'law'?
Is "submission" so great a virtue that any with power must be obeyed?
If they're going to manufacture an event anyway, then you believe that they will lie to achieve the very thing here, no?
Perhaps I should have phrased it better as if you wait for them to show up at your door, you've already lost
or don't let the enemy decide where to fight
, but it's something that needs thought about. — Where is that line?
(I actually believe it's already been crossed, the extent of the corruption in government [IRS/NSA/DEA/BATFE/etc] is astounding — and we don't know the half of it… and nobody in government is rushing/vigious to address any of it.)
“Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!”
> “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!”
But not said where the British wanted the fight to happen.
So how do those cagey yawning Canadians practice with, trade, and train their children with those unregistered guns?
And with that, a very good night to all.
Horse hockey. By that standard, no one has ever been a slave. You're just monkeying with the terms to save face and provide yourself with some sort of religious patina.
So you answer a question of such import with joke videos?
Nice.
Faith is not a patina.
Faith is a foundation reaching into eternity itself.
You are, basically, strawmanning about something you yourself are quite possibly shallow about. Yes it is possible to sell your soul (or attempt to — because of Christ you can’t actually sell your soul) for guns. And until you stop you won’t be able to reason sensibly about the matter.
Such import. More important than God? I guess so, to you. God’s just some statue in the corner who gives the nod to your gun-olatry? (Which is no better than gun-phobia.)
One does not "murder" enemy combatants.
Your enemies are aching for some fool to pull something...
They also know many on our side will always be aching for a justification to remain passive. It corrodes morale, and weakens resistance.
It is when it is used to provide you a convenient excuse for cowardice, and inaction.
Oh please. Do you really think your little "focus in the wrong direction" tactic is fooling anyone?
Read what history has to say about those failed-martyrs who denounced Christ, so they could repent later.....
Or should I say “repent in safety....?”
