Why? Because you cannot function without those things. You cannot work you cannot feed your family.

You have no voice without a means to defend it. Without those, all your other battles are lost before they're begun.

There are plenty of people throughout history that had a voice without being behind a gun or holding a weapon. I'm not arguing that the 2nd amendment isn't a right and should be infringed. I'm just arguing don't denegrate or give up your other unalienable rights by ignoring those battles.

I think it is amazing and a bit heartening that even in dark blue Connecticut that 85% of so-called “assault” weapon owners had the courage to thumb their noses at this unconstitutional law. If it had been 10%, the liberals could have just written it off as some law breaking kooks and brought the hammer down. But 85% or close to half a million gun owners is hard to write off as a handful of crazy kooks. The ball is the libs court....

Someone named Holder ordered a SQL query on NCIS for CT background checks? That would be possible but not foolproof, and certainly miss any illegal purchases.

Your observation becomes easy to understand with a quick look at the axis between Islam & the Left. These are more co-belligerents than soulmates, but share a common enemy: Judeo-Christian based Western civilization.

Since both Islam & liberalism preach first & foremost the destruction of their enemies (to rally their forces) with a side order of control freakiness, they have methodology in common as much as they do their `sacred’ beliefs.

A marriage made in h***, in other words.

>”In this case, I think the notices are going out to people who stupidly registered, but after the deadline”<

I had a “registered” AK-47 Assault Weapon way back when. I sold to an out of State Retired LEO when I decided I didn’t want to be on “THE LIST”.

I put Registering that Rifle and Voting for Perot in 1992 as two of my biggest blunders. Lessons learned and never forgotten.

After I sold the AK, I bought a ‘CA Compliant” Stag AR-15.
It isn’t Registered, and it never will be.

I’m not buying into the Commie “Overnight Felon” crap. Last time I checked this was America, not 1936 Berlin or the Jewish Ghetto.

Compliance with Tyranny is Treason.

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

Better yet, go to their door and invite them to take them.

Gulags were/are full of people with 'a voice'.

Mao - fat genocidal communist maggot that he was - had one thing absolutely right: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun

While we may have to agree to disagree, I respectfully submit that without the 2nd, all the others are at the whim of the tyrant du jour.

Perhaps we're coming at this from two vastly different perspectives.
In my view of this world, all that's accomplished by 'turning the other cheek' is to end up with both sides bloody.

F that, imho.

"How do they know who has a rifle?"

When you buy a firearm and the gun dealer calls in for a check - it only goes down as either a "long gun", "hand gun",or "other".

Only the gun dealer has a record of model and serial number.

They would have to physically check the records of all gun dealers to find out who's bought rifles in the now-banned categories.

BUT,
Up until this year, you could sell, trade, or give away any type of long gun without filing ANY type of paperwork.
SO,
They still have no idea who has what, even after they (illegally) check the gun store records.

Almost certainly every person who allegedly didn't register is because they no longer own a scarey-looking rifle........

I can see a lot of “Let’s get Mikey” looks on LEOs’ faces at the prospect of going door to door to search for and confiscate firearms. “I’M not gonna try it!”

However, if this crap does go nationwide, I still suggest the strategy of “retreat and escape, organize with others, and engage those who sent the confiscators, but on YOUR terms”.

Yep. Some folks, who’ve put a bit of thought into things, will be in the wind once the fires are lit.

After that, hunting season is in full effect.

Damn them for getting us to this point.

You are right about other battles that need to be fought but if we lose on the 2nd we will lose on all others. Period.

I would hate to be the cops they send out to start collecting. Talk about a crappy assignment. And dangerous.
