Connecticut halts plans to round up firearms after finding most cops in the state are on the list
Connecticut has been making news due to their hastily passed gun registration laws. According to some sources as few as 15% of gun owners have actually registered their firearms. News Blogs have been warning state officials are talking about mass confiscations of the unregistered firearms.
Plans for these confiscations hit a snag when a legislative intern dared to ask a question. “Who will be going door to door to take all the guns away?” asked the 21-year-old college senior.
Reportedly multiple people in the room in the most sarcastic voices they could muster said “the police”.
The unnamed intern then pointed at the list and said, “my dad’s name is on the list, and he is the police chief. I see three other names on this list of family members, all cops.”

The first ones to DIE!
Even if this is fictional, it is a wonderful teaching moment in civics. One of the RKBA memes should loudly be: any law enforcement officer who is called upon to enforce this law should consider that his oath of office requires him to resign.
Must be different folks in CT than CA. CA citizens rolled over for assault weapons registration years ago without even a wimper.
Connecticut wouldn’t do ANYTHING like stopping a roundup. Mallory HATES guns.
I would expect the enforcers to be exempted, as well as the politicians and their associated Union thugs, party donors, bureaucrats and political hacks.
I would not expect to see the doors of any inner city gangsta cribs being kicked in, nor confiscation SWAT teams venturing into any Muslim enclaves.
Enforcement is typically quite selective, and I presume confiscation will be too.
Race (White), religion (Christian or Jewish) and political ideology (they have the voter registration and political donation data base as well as NRA Membership lists and whatever else the NSA cares to share with them to compare with their “scofflaw” list, you can bet) will be factors in determining who gets visited by the gestapo first, and who will be “taught a lesson” and “made an example of”.
Anyone who resists will be used to reenforce the propaganda that all NRA or TEA Members, Veterans or whoever can be associated with the probably dead insurgent are “radical/violent/terrorists”.
Thousands of sheeple will cheer the gestapo on and bleat with delight while they mow you down and / or incinerate your home and family.
I keep getting a sinking feeling that this is probably not going to end well.
If you think that armed resistance is going to work, check with those who resisted gun confiscation under Hugo Chavez in Venezuela a few years back.
Yeah! Because until the law is repealed, it is still there to be used.
haha Connecticut —egg on your face!
It only counts as “satire” if it’s an exaggeration or somehow ironic. This is not.
Well, who's to say that isn't exactly how the gun grabbers have it planned anyway?
A good hoax is always based on a partial truth. LEOs often have the mindset that they personally *need* better and more powerful firepower.
And it does not take a “rocket surgeon” to figure out that this registration scheme is nothing but a confiscation scheme. So, while LEOs generally do want to obey the law, like everyone else, they are far less likely to obey stupid laws that can hurt them.
So, bottom line: yes, LEOs likely have a LOT of such weapons, and are also not likely to register them, especially if they can avoid doing so. For example, I can imagine a lot of them having caches with friends just across the state borders. Having your gun an hour drive away is far better than not having one at all.
Amen to both...
One commenter had the perfect solution—those fools who passed the law should be the first to lead in the confiscation!
I challenged Chet Edwards in the 90’s over the Golden Cheeked Warbler. Told him don’t send some young deputy with kids to get shot, come yourself. Never got an answer, I’m sure it was included in my Secret Service file.
