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.
Nah, Real Americans are only the ten percent. The rest follow the lead.
Look what happened when the US Gov. demanded that all Americans turn in THEIR GOLD! .....they turned it in for a supposed good price. Same thing will happen with guns unless THE TEN PERCENT LEAD.
Like Sheep volunteering to visit the Slaughterhouse.
Compliance with Tyranny is Treason, PERIOD.
Absolutely correct. As a freedom fighter, we must delay, obstruct, refuse, destroy all attempts by the enemy to deny us our rights, our freedom and liberty under the Constitution. We eliminate tyrants, we do NOT obey them.
Boating accident...
...or just give them the middle finger and tell them to F’off.
“Why not stand up and fight?”
Because it didn’t say confiscate it said register. Huge difference.
“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. “
Translation: “I don’t think it’s constitutional so I’ll swallow the blue pill”.
“No Knock, Shoot Dog, Cuff and abuse inhabitants, realize it’s wrong address, leave without apologizing,. Did I miss anything? “
SWAT shoots the homeowner who survives and is then charged with obstructing justice?
They already knew what I have. I had to register the purchase of my pistol when I bought it. It's a Ruger SR9 that came with 17rd magazines. I had to "register" or declare the magazines but they already knew about the gun.
So you'll be WORTHLESS when the revolution starts.
Will you be starting it in PA? Or, are you waiting for someone else to start it?
Perhaps. But, my family won't be wondering how to get me out of jail when it does start.
Good little lemmings doing only what their masters tell them.
They don’t deserve liberty OR freedom.
“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.”
We had utterly stupid people like this at my gun club. We called them “Golfers with Guns”.
But they didn't know about your magazines did they, at least until you volunteered the information.
You could've resisted - passively, by omission - and instead you chose to comply with an unconstitutional law.
Keep telling yourself that. In every country where registration was passed, confiscation followed. You'd be well advised to prepare a backup plan to arm yourself once they take your weapons away.
FYI, the breachers don't usually stand on top of it when it goes - they back off.
True story.
This will be a template for the rest of the country.
“..Charles Gillette, but said “if they want to just know where they are, that’s fine with me.” ...
Good little sheep Charlie Gillette... do what you’re told Chucky... Be sure not to pee down your leg too much when they come asking for them...
1. There are no dumb questions.
2. Detcord would cut a channel about twice it's diameter on a wooden door. Normally, three to four strands are taped to a silhouette which is taped to the door and detonated, blowing a hole through the door and allowing access. A different method is using water impulse charges which are nothing more than 18" of detcord between two IV bags, placed at the top, bottom, and center of the door. This has the benefit of bending steel reinforced doors in a V-pattern and knocking them off of their hinges.
3. Anyone near the door would be injured, but not necessarily killed (unless they were actually in contact with the door). The guys detonating the detcord are usually within 6ft of the cord when it is ignited.
It may be a bit of a bad analogy, but remember what the feds did to Waco.
Think about it.
