RE: Is it a crime to drive 65 mph because you’re avoiding breaking a 70 mph limit?
I dunno, here in NY State, the speed limit in many highways is still 55 MPH and ALMOST NO ONE I know drives below that.
And close to 300,000 gun owners in the state of Connecticut are defying the new laws requiring registration.
Mass defiance in Connecticut against assault weapon registration law
by Rick Moran
As J.D. Tuccille points out in this Hit and Run article on non-compliance with the new Connecticut assault weapons registration law, the morons who wrote it evidently knew nothing of history.
A bit of miltary wisdom has it that you should never give an order you know won’t be obeyed. Issuing such an order accomplishes nothing except to undermine your authority and expose the extent to which, no matter what enforcement mechanisms are in place, you rely upon voluntary compliance. But now that Connecticut’s resident class of politically employed cretins has awoken to the fact that, in their state, like everywhere else, people overwhelmingly disobey orders to register their weapons, they’re acting like this is a shocking revelation. They’re also promising to make those who tried to comply, but missed the deadline regret the effort (proving the point of the openly defiant). And the politicians’ enablers in the press are screaming for the prosecution of “scores of thousands” of state residents who, quite predictably, flipped the bird at the government.
