Connecticut residents waited in long lines on Thursday to register their firearms and high-capacity magazines before the state’s new gun laws go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
WFSB-TV reports that a “long-line of people” stood outside the Public Safety Building in Middletown, Conn., all day to register semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. Several residents were upset with the “unconstitutional” requirement, while at least one person didn’t appear to mind.
“I understand why they’re doing it, but I don’t think it’s constitutional,” resident Scott Boccio told WFSB-TV as he was registering his guns.
Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines, told the news station that he would have a problem with it if the state was trying to ban the magazines or firearms, but said “if they want to just know where they are, that’s fine with me.”
However, not one gun owner who was registering firearms or magazines said they think the new laws will reduce gun violence.
“If people are going to do things illegally, they’re not going to be here registering their gun,” Jared Krajewski, another resident registering firearms, said.
For now, in Connecticut, the law is the law. The new gun control measures were put into place following the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
State police Lt. Paul Vance said that gun owners must fill our forms completely and some may require a notary.
But the best thing about it - works from both sides of the door.
Hard to believe. Even with his philandering and everything else, at least he DID serve in the military, and by all accounts tried to do his job.
He would not be welcome in the Democrat party today, they have gone so far left it is nearly incomprehensible to me.
It is the radicals of the Sixties who did this.
“For now, in Connecticut, the law is the law.”
Unconstitutional decrees are null and void. This is illegal.
Real American's would've REFUSED.
Good point. I was thinking you were headed in a different direction.
I will bury my guns in cosmoline before I take part in anything like that.
I like my northeast state's gun laws.
A simple REFUSAL to register would've been enough. Now that you've REGISTERED, they know what you have, and know they can disarm you.
So you'll be WORTHLESS when the revolution starts. You'll be disarmed. Nothing more than cannon fodder for the State of CT.
Bears repeating. Over, and over, and over again!
You have to admit it's no picnic for men to control children or government when there are more women to vote than men.
I wonder ... will he understand why they're doing it:
- When they're confiscating his bank account to redistribute his wealth? Afterall, Obama said fixing wealth disparity was his #1 goal in his secon term.
- When he's denied health-care because he voted for the wrong political party?
- When his home is confiscated, because he doesn't need all those rooms?
- When he's told he's too fat, and has to eat what the Government gives him (or does NOT give him?)
- When his children are taken away to re-education camps because Daddy doesn't agree with the Proliteriat?
Yeah, this list can go on, and on, and on...
Obviously his stint in the re-education camps is successful by Government standards.
My, my, my, how times have changed, when we see how the heavily militarized thug cops & swat teams marched Bostonians out of their houses at gun point during the Boston Marathon bombing. Any resisatance & you would see armored vehicles smashing right through their houses. We now live in a Gestapo/Staci police state, run by the elitists (0dumb0shit, demoCRAPs & RINOs). God help us..... we need a great bloody battle civil war II if we are to ever restore & regain our country.
Plants, and set up questions,
...... answers from those ALREADY in line, what a surprise.
YOU took the words.....
The trains should be next, in Connecticut.
Not too many electricians about...I ain’t one but my pops was a Master.
All in a watertight container, locked and loaded and ready for action.
dumb question from me....if you had some on the inside of the door, would you blow the door out along with those standing behind the door?
A Texas legislator would have to first propose the law, then both houses would have to pass it. A Texas Governor would then have to sign it before any LEO was ever forced to even consider enforcing such a heinous tyranny upon Texans.
Ain't never gonna happen.
