That means over 3.6% of the entire adult population of Connecticut has been transformed into a felon by the new registration law.

As many as 100,000 people could face heavily armed police smashing down their doors and be charged with a felony. The legislature of CT says that a registration is needed so they can know where the guns are.

I'm callin' just a bit of hysteria here.....the "anti folks" may be chumming a bit for goofy reactions.

I wonder how many of these new felons are democrats?

Folks who submitted to registration in the first place were not thinking. I really don’t see judges issuing warrants based on registration records. If not, we’ll see how serious people are when it comes to civil disobedience. And by civil disobedience, I mean shots fired.

Fist they take the guns. Then they open up the camps.

This is why you don’t ever register your firearm and why registration is bad.

What was legal can become illegal and then suddenly the police have the right to enter your home and confiscate the now illegal firearms.

At one point, the information collected during background checks was supposed to be dumped after the verification was complete. Don’t know if that is still true. Keep this in mind if you have older firearms that there are no records of. Keep them separate since the police will only be looking for firearms that they do have records of (from recent purchases).

Damn. I can’t believe I am saying this. Sad state of affairs when you have to protect yourself from firearm confiscation.

I heard of a CT resident who registered his ‘assault’ rifle and then the state sent him a letter wanting to know who he bought the rifle from. CT has turned into Nazi Germany with citizens being compelled to turn other citizens in.

Moral of the story—don’t register. Leave the state.

Bury the guns in the back yard. They will be needed some day.

And now they can never vote again... ever.

Hide the guns with a friend or family member, and when the cops show up, the owners should just say, “Oh, my goodness, we were robbed last night and I didn’t have the chance to call you yet! I can’t believe they took all our guns! I’ll be happy to come down and file a report right now, if you like.” ;o)

I assume the vote to turn these people into criminals wasn’t unanimous. Where are the pols who voted against this mess? If they don’t do something radical to stop this, they’re complicit.

Hmm probably explains that rash of boating accidents in Connecticut, recently.

With any luck, maybe Russia will invade CT, asking the residents if they have unregistered assault weapons, and letting them leave if they do. Then the CT police and politicians can celebrate the Russian army doing what the law alone could not, namely, getting such people out of the state. Next, the CT politicians can celebrate their shared victory, in the State Capitol, um, completely surrounded by Russian tanks and soldiers. Yay, gun control!
