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.
IT HAS STARTED
One FOIA request from a newspaper willing to print all of the gun owners names and addresses will answer that for you.
I am so sure all the criminals are on line waiting to register their firearms.

They won’t have to come by and collect them because anyone willing to register their firearms will turn them in when the government demands it.
How many criminals were in line registering their illegal guns?
just wondering
Yup.
The stupid sheep queue up for their slaughter. “... The people’s right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. “.
And we all know how we are nation of laws, not of men. Plus, "it's settled law," so you can't challenge its Constitutionality.
The government come to collect them? Nah, it can’t happen here.
This is a very bad thing, and it will lead to much worse things. This is a good time to pray.
Let’s see. Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C have registered guns. I think I’ll burgle Mr. D, Mr. E, and Mr. F tonight, instead.
Connecticut residents waited in long lines on Thursday to board the boxcars to the concentration camp.
“the cops would have known the serial number of the gun he used. Or something,,,,,”
Maybe the news reports would have been less confusing, able to focus on the correct BAD gun more quickly.
Don’t think this is restricted to the Northeast or will stay there because of a line on a map.
Every state, including stalwarts like Texas have liberal elements in them, and liberals are like rust.
They never sleep.
Connecticut residents need to vote early, often, and from the roof-tops.....
Whatever natural disaster God brings down on Connecticut, it can’t be too disasterous.
No good citizen American should line up to satisfy an unconstitutional mandate of a local, state or the federal government. Ignore it and stay home. Passive resistance, when done by many, is a tactic that gums up the government’s nasty plan and inspires other good citizens to join and support the resistance. If they call you in it, say, “I forgot” or “what difference does it make?” Words that have let Hillary skate past misdeeds.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Any fool who complies with that law deserves what is coming to them.
