The law passed has created an estimated 350,000 armed felons in the state of Connecticut. Literally. These were law-abiding citizens before; now they are class D felons, for doing absolutely nothing. Before they could rest secure in their homes, at least insofar as the government of that state recognizes the 4th Amendment any better than the 2nd. Now they face five years' imprisonment. For doing absolutely nothing.

That works both ways, however. If the law enforcement officers of the state of Connecticut took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, then those who enforce this law are betrayers of that oath and by extension, traitors to their country. If that is an uncomfortable position for them to be in, I suggest that suddenly becoming a felon for doing nothing is far worse. This train is headed down a very bad piece of track and the brakemen are asleep.

I suppose God will just have to sort out their moral quandary in that case.

. . . then those who enforce this law are betrayers of that oath and by extension, traitors to their country . . .

Yes, but . . . for this age's generation trained by unfaithful citizenship teachers and police academies, which will take preference--your (and my) principles, or their paycheck?
