Is it a bluff?

I guess they’ll find out.

Better yet -

Require the Legislators to go door to door to confiscate the firearms.

This is the best way to fight these unconstitutional laws. Ignore them. Ignore Obamacare too.

Make these commies show their true hand, a hand that resorts to being the instigators of violence against law abiding Constitutionally protected citizens.

California already started their friendly at-your-door confiscation service.

We have a moral obligation not to submit to truly unjust laws.

Hmmm...How do I put this...IMO anyone who lives and pays taxes to corrupt commies in Connecticut are insane. Now imagine those people armed to the teeth and not going to give up their guns! Looks like a Violent Crimes: SUV episode in the making.

The laws will never be repealed. They may not enforce them through daily physical confiscation. However, since they will still be on the books, the laws will be “enforced” only when they become convenient, kind of like IRS tax audits.

As a resident of a far-left state (Maryland), for family reasons, I understand the quandary facing armed CT residents. They have so many choices, all of which pose risks or costs:

They can buy parts to modify their firearms; that AR-15 is okay if they replace the barrel with one that doesn’t look as scary and replace the standard-capacity magazine with multiple smaller-capacity 10 round magazines. That is a waste of money that does nothing for public safety, but it does make the individual’s problem go away, at least in the short term, and with minimal effort.

They can buy new CT-compliant firearms and store their current weapons in another state, at least until the house-to-house confiscation talk dies down. That is a waste of money that does nothing for public safety, but it does make the problem go away, at least in the short term, and with minimal effort.

They can (especially if they have grown children so the heavy-handed enforcement will not disrupt their duty to family) openly defy the law and challenge the thugs to “come and get them”. That can result in a felony conviction that will make firearms ownership illegal, or worse, and I’ll bet leftists would love that outcome.

They can ignore the law - not openly defy the law but also make no effort to comply with even the letter of this unconstitutional law. That will probably mean the law has no effect unless and until they use a firearm in self-defense, at which time they will be the ones charged with a crime (and sued by the criminal “victim” of an illegal gun and its violence).

Finally, they can devote all their available time and money to electing a conservative state government and a conservative federal government that will protect this fundamental God-given right. That is what I will be doing.

The 2nd amendment fight is the only one we should be concerned about. The commies are covering us up with other issues to splinter our efforts when the God given right to protect ourselves and our property should be our only cause. Win this fight and we win all others, lose it and we lose all others. We must stop allowing ourselves to be distracted by all the other issues the ba5tard raises.

Taking a cue from totalitarian states like Cuba and East Germany, Connecticut gun grabbers could locate unregistered guns by using neighborhood snitches and even coercing kids to rat on their parents.

It’s like this.

Dear panty waste commies,

You are going to have to use more than a pen and a phone if you want to take my God given rights.
