Until now, gun control laws hadn’t mandated the confiscation of weapons; generally, banned guns were grandfathered in under previous laws so their current owners could continue to legally own them. The Connecticut law changes all that.

Uh, not quite. The writer is obviously unfamiliar with the New Jersey "assault weapons" ban jammed through the legislature by Gov. James Florio in the early 1990s. It BANNED the possession of a whole list of guns, plus any magazine capable of holding more than 15 rounds...and it is still on the books. NO GRANDFATHERING AT ALL!

Now NJ's rat-controlled legislature is about to give Gov. Christie a bill that outlaws any magazine over 10 rounds, and it'll outlaw tube-fed .22s that hold more than 10 rounds. We'll see what fat boy does - try to please his sheople in NJ, or try to not piss off Republicans around the country by signing it.

NJ never went door-to-door to collect anything - they just used the gutless way out, that of tacking on charges to anyone who the arrested who also had a prohibited weapon or magazine. I left that $hithole in 2000, and had about 200 years worth of prohibited mags sitting 18 inches behind my arse as I passed the "Welcome to Delaware" sign on the way out. As we passed the sign, I told my wife, "Now you won't have to bail me out of jail." When I explained why, she turned white as a sheet. She asked me, "They don't have laws like that in Texas, do they?" I told her, "No, Texas is in America."

“They don’t have laws like that in Texas, do they?” I told her, “No, Texas is in America.”

Fair enough, but America is not part of the Untied States, and neither is Texas.

Geez guy, read what you typed.

The author says "generally", then you rant about his not mentioning NJ.

Do you know what the term "generally" means?

CT will do it that way as well.

I left that $hithole in 2000.

You can hear the sheep baaing across the river on the PA side of the Walt Whitman Bridge.

Love your last line — I’m sure some Texan will be along shortly to claim it as a sigline.
