Letter to the editor
Today's Courant says that there could be as many as 330,000 people with assault weapons who refused to register them according to the law [Feb. 11, Page 1, "Thousands Ignore Law On Gun Registration"]. Then now is the time to increase the penalty and start rounding them up.
At the first sign that someone has an illegal weapon , they should be immediately tried and imprisoned. These are the people we must be worried and concerned about -- the ones who need to keep their ownership secret.
Something wrong when they refuse to obey the law -- a law necessary for the safety of the rest of us and our children. Lots of laws are not pleasant, but we do not deliberately break them.
Pam Bergren, East Hartford
“Rounding them up”?
LOL, she’s the first liberal to actually get to use that phrase publically in America!
She must have wet herself with excitement.
Not tracked down, just get turned in by Collaborators.
The Letter writer would have been a great Collaborator for the Nazi Regime, any Communist Regime and any Fascist Regime that existed throughout History. I’m surprised she didn’t send the Letter from North Korea.
The Authorities make something that was Legal, Illegal. They create overnight Felons, people who one day were Lawful Citizens minding their own Business and the next become Scape Goats targeted by the all powerful Government.
Never thought I would see the day. The Useful Idiots really did it this time.
My weapons are not illegal, just undocumented.
In 1946, Athens Tennessee, a few World War II veterans,
local businessmen, and farmers decided to have an
honest count of their ballots after putting up
a slate of candidates. They had complained to the federal government...but politicians in Congress were tied to the local criminal system...The Ballots were counted...
no one died...but the rifles from the local Armory were cleaned and wiped by morning when the State Leaders called and asked for terms...wikipedia-The Battle of Athens
Tennessee(1946).

Pam Bergren perfectly embodies the mindset of America’s gun grabbers - irrational, vindictive, and power mad.
THAT is the pertinent question.
When one buys a long gun, there is no record of what type of long gun it is.
Sure, they know how many AR-style rifles were bought in Konnecticut, and they know who bought a "long gun" - but no way to tell which of those households the ARs belong to.
They would have to:
a) Get a search warrent for several hundred thousand houses in Konnectucut, or
b) Perform "no-knock" raids on several hundred thousand houses in Konnectucut.
Legally, a purchase of an ambiguous "long gun" cannot constitute probable cause for a search warrant, and
several hundred thousand "no knock" searches would draw a ton of flak (not metaphorical flak, either).
Bingo!
...Could free Connecticut from the infection of socialism in a fortnight.
Henry Bowman needs to decorate a street light with Pam.....if you know what I’m saying.
Lots of laws are not pleasant, but we do not deliberately break them.
Our president does
What guns? I don’t own any.
A third of a million liberty-minded Americans in a small state, armed with military style rifles, and pissed off.
I LIKE it!
Pam, so you’re advocating that 330,000 people be tracked down, arrested, charged with a felony, and then imprisoned? Tracked down how? House-to-house search of every house in Connecticut?
The current background check system was designed precisely for this. They’ll use it when push comes to shove.
Mike V. can skin his prey without them realizing why it just suddenly got very cold. His retort to this fascist b!tchs column is worth reading again and again.
You know, though your posting does give me some interesting ideas about civil protests. If some 200 thousand such folks just showed up in Hartford one day(without guns) and demanded to be arrested and jailed right then and there for having illegal guns that they will never turn over..the whole legal apparatus would just break down as the politicians would be forced to face an instant blowback result to their schemes.
200 thousand is what...a large division in the army? Even the state’s national guard couldn’t handle the numbers. You think Obama might send regular army in to support a state law and crack down on peaceful civil resistance...the rest of the country’s gun owners would say “nuts” to that notion!
Just show up non peacefully stating I am John Q patriot..gun owner and I refuse to register my weapons. Force the elitists to bare their fangs so that we can get them out in the open where we can what they really are! Jam up the system the way leftists did in Milwaukee.
“Start with visible raids of their homes (don’t need to be dynamic, just bust in when the folks are away during the day like any burglar). Big trials and long prison terms, seize assets, ruin families. Then, an amnesty, then start up the enforcement again. Most will roll over, no problem.”
That’s why a more proactive approach by the gun owners, is needed...band up in the 5 to 10 thousands, unarmed but absolutely demanding that they all be arrested right there at state police headquarters...refuse to leave. Show up at the governors mansion and demand that he personally arrest all of them. Call your selves Leonidas, or Spartacus or john Q Patriot. Never let them have your guns!
Put the fight on ground of our choosing...not the dead of night incremental, beat down one to scare all the rest sort of approach the elitists prefer...snakes do that sort of hunting.
“The Letter writer would have been a great Collaborator for the Nazi Regime, any Communist Regime and any Fascist Regime that existed throughout History. I’m surprised she didn’t send the Letter from North Korea.”
One of the commentators in the original article noted that very thing. BTW, Pam IS in fact so stupid she didn’t think to also demand a state-paid bounty for turning in your neighbor.
