Best post of the day.

[Psalm 73]

I just can’t imagine people ignoring the law like that....

[Drango]

my beeber was stuned too.

14th Amendment—equal protection of the laws.

Use the least restrictive State’s laws and bring it to the Supreme Court.

If the logic works for gay marriage, why not for guns?

[MileHi]

Mr. Fuller will be arrested, admitted lawbreaker, and to a reporter. Dumbass. Yep

Gun Sanctuary.

Take in an orphan TODAY!

[muir_redwoods]

They’re just pro-choice. On guns

[tanknetter]

In CT non-compliance to a similar law was estimated at 85%.

Which was something like 300,000 guns in the hands of 100,000 gunowners engaged in a massive act of civil disobedience

[semaj]

Same thing happened in California around 1999 I think. "Assault Weapon" ownership was conservatively estimated at about 8 million in private hands. Less than 300,000 were registered.

[Uncle Miltie]

“we are no longer a nation of laws”

Yup. It’s every man for himself.

Tone is set at the top. Laws are for the powerful to attempt to control the powerless.

[jstaff]

Have heard from some folk who live in that general area that many people are registering junk, spare parts, worn out magazines, etc, just so they can surrender something if it comes to that. The good stuff is safely stored away.

[doorgunner69]

As much as the liberals bleated about the registration not being used, BS!

Someyears after the registration, I got into radio scanning and heard a call to a domestic disturbance and the dispatcher told the cops that the record showed assault weapons being registered to that address.

The cops most certainly have that info at their fingertips, at least the ones where I lived in Ventura county did at the time. Cannot be better now a decade later.

[GOPJ]

How about a ‘Sanctuary City’ for people who don't believe in following gun laws?

Surely NPR would back that... they have ZERO respect for our immigration laws... Why would they object to us having zero respet for the laws they favor?

Hypocrites. Liberal elite jerks.Yes, National Public Radio - we're talking about YOU.

[MasterGunner01]

Remember when CT passed their draconian gun laws and all the political talking heads were threatening gun owners that they'd better register or else? Some of the local police actually went on record as salivating over raiding gun owner's homes and killing them to get their guns. That was before the implementation date. Gun owners stood firm and said: “Come and take them.”

Now faced with the prospect of deadly force shootouts and the fascist oppressors going room temperature in the process, plus the fact these very same people have painted themselves into a bulls eye, the rhetoric and hype stopped. It didn't help that other chief law enforcement officers said they would not enforce this unconstitutional law. So far the politicians are hesitating at the possibility of armed resistance to their “law” if they implement it.

“Do not fire unless fired upon. If they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” — Captain John Parker, Lexington Green, Massachusetts, 19 April 1775.

The 2nd amendment says he does not have to register,dumbass

[Cboldt]

-- The 2nd amendment says he does not have to register,dumbass --

I know that, and you know that, but the state of NY doesn't, and the courts don't either.

[grumpygresh]

The SAFE act is a living and breathing law; citizens should be entitled to interpret it as they see fit.

[Gritty]

...60 percent of New Yorkers support the SAFE Act

They likely took this poll down in the Liberal hive of New York City, which voted 80+ percent for Obama. They already gave up their 2nd Amendment freedoms years ago in the interest of "safety". Now they have neither.
