At roughly 50,000 applications, officials estimate that as little as 15 percent of the covered semi-automatic rifles have actually been registered with the state.

I think the most salient questions are, what makes them think that? How do they know? On what information is their "estimate" based?

Good point.
When only a handful comply with the law, just what will they do?

Oh no its just that most of the people don’t know about the new law yet. Even though its on the news blogs 24/7 they just don’t know about it. LOL!!!

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

They can’t find what you don’t have at the address contained in the warrant.

Why would anyone register something lost in a boating accident?

Needless to say, officials and some lawmakers are stunned

I am stunned as well. GOOD for the people of Connecticut! Officials and some lawmakers might want to refer to the 2nd Amendment.....

I won’t be obeying any illegal laws coming from this illegal administration, or any other illegal law coming from any administration.

A person or person only have as much power over you as you give them, and I have taken all my power back.

Where’s the quote about “if we’d have just resisted a little bit instead of cowering when they came to our homes - if they had to worry about whether they’d go home to their families...”

I think it means whatever the government wants it to mean. Meaning, you walk if you turn in a neighbor or you go to prison if the prosecutor is a lesbian.

Awwww. The sheep aren’t sheep any more. How will they respond to this? Calling out the federal troops to fire on innocent American citizens?

I’m not surprised. When the Tri-State Chapter was having events in New York, one of our Connecticut members refused to come because he couldn’t come armed. Remember harpseal? He signed every post: “Stay well, stay safe, stay armed. Yorktown.”

On another note illegals drive drunk behind the wheel of a weapon and kill Americans and the politicians rejoice and protect
