Connecticut gun registration

[Tech Jacket]

This isnt a federal program, its a state program, I dont think there is a chance in hell that this happens in GA, or AZ, or TX, or NH, the people of the state wouldnt support it, and the state legislature wont support it.

demographics in GA are changing....50 years from now it'll be a different story if something doesn't change. It'll be 30% 2nd gen amnesty legalized Hispanics and 40% other democrat groups...

Apparently there are a whole bunch of new felons in CT today.... http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...-staging-a-massive-act-of-civil-disobedience/

Is it just me? or has the term "Felon" lost some of the stigma it used to carry? I mean, it seems these days anything more than a speeding ticket is a felony. I hear Holder is pushing to have voting rights re - instated for non violent felons like those who refuse to register their fire arms.

The Felony game is BS. virtually anything can be upgraded to a felony.

History has proven thistime and time again. In a speech, Katie Worthman, who was an eyewitness to Hitler’s occupation of Austria, said:


“We also had gun registration. All the Austrian people… had guns. But the government said, ‘the guns are very dangerous. Children are playing with guns. Hunting accidents happen and we really have to have total controlled safety. And we had criminals again. And the only way that we can trace the criminal was by the serial number of the gun.’

“So we dutifully went to the police station and we registered our guns. Not long after they said, ‘No, it didn’t help. The only way that we won’t have accidents and crimes [is] you bring the guns to the police station and then we don’t have any crimes anymore and any accidents. And if you don’t do that: capital punishment.’

Legislature May Consider Gun Amnesty

Connecticut just as Colorado's successful recall efforts will be the state to watch closely.

What will the state do with the 50,000-100,000+ felons they just created? Amnesty, and if that fails, then what? The state could repeal the law-but that would be admitting they were wrong and the law unjust. I just don't see that happening, at least until after the November elections. The state could just ignore it and make examples of the few that get caught by accident. They could take a court order and start going from FFL to FFL and collecting the data stored there to identify who purchased "Assault Weapons" and comparing that with those who registered. It would create a data base of potential "felons" who may be in violation of the state's unjust Law.

Now what the state does with that information is critical to the outcome of this impasse.

Do they send threatening letters with a promise amnesty for their compliance? Do they start kicking doors of once honest citizens who embrace the notion of the bill rights and committed no other crime?

However it plays out, if formerly honest citizens begin having their doors kicked in by the state the potential for bloody fight exist. One a government power attempting to take and one the citizens attempting to retain. The story as it unfolds will sent a clear message no matter how it plays out.......

Step 1).

Mike Lawlor, the Undersecretary for Criminal Justice Policy in the State Office of Policy and Management, told Blaze reporters that he isn’t seeking prosecutions on the massive scale represented by the CT citizens’ outright defiance at this time. He expressed that two things are realistically likely to happen to the resolute gun owners in any kind of immediate sense:

1). Someone sends them a threatening sounding letter.

2). The registration period is extended further in hopes that more gun owners register their “assault rifles” in compliance with state law.

[B. Byrd]

Law enforcement officials report, “the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000.”

That's a pretty big gap in the estimates. Means they don't have any idea. I'm guessing that those who didn't observe the original deadline for compliance won't meet the extension either.

Courant demands on gun enforcement present dilemma for state


“But the bottom line is that the state must try to enforce the law,” The Courant concluded, calling on the state to use the “background check database” to identify who has not obeyed, and to go and get them.

If ever there was proof that citizen disarmament demanders are lying when they scoff at legitimate fears that background checks providing a registration capability, this is it. And if ever there was further corroboration that they intend using that registration to enable confiscation, The Courant just removed all doubt.
“If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences,” they pronounce.

.

Citing a Feb. 10 article in which The Courant estimated “as of Jan. 1, Connecticut has very likely created tens of thousands of newly minted criminals -- perhaps 100,000 people, almost certainly at least 20,000,” Vanderboegh went on to note “CSP currently has around 1,248 troopers.”

Simply as a matter of resources and logistics, the state will be hard-pressed to allocate the manpower, budget, jail facilities and court case load capabilities to do more than scratch the surface to try to frighten everyone by making examples of a few.

.

Logistical considerations aside, have The Courant editors got an estimate for how many heretofore law-abiding gun owners the state will need to actually kill before their demands can be met? And that’s all assuming those defying the edict on principle are willing to allow a force they so demonstrably outnumber to destroy their lives.

.

Has The Courant got a plan for when a percentage of Connecticut gun owners -- and it needn’t be more than, say three percent -- meets the order to surrender or be destroyed with defiance? Have they, along with Gov. Malloy and his enforcer Mike Lawlor, considered what their next move will be when that determined minority answers back that the state is going to need to do things the hard way?

And have they considered what having their bluff called will do to produce an epiphany, and embolden gun owners everywhere, when it suddenly becomes clear to all who holds the true power in this country if they would only first realize and then exercise it?

And just how would have registration prevented Sandy Hook? Better yet, just where has registration reduced crime? Most importantly just how has registration been utilized in honest application?

An Open Letter to the Men and Women of the Connecticut State Police: You are NOT the enemy (UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO BE.)

The following letter was sent via email to members of the Connecticut State Police, Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. There are 1,212 email addresses on the list. There were 62 bounce-backs.

1st paragraph:

15 February 2014

To the men and women of the Connecticut State Police and the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection:

My name is Mike Vanderboegh. Few of you will know who I am, or even will have heard of the Three Percent movement that I founded, though we have been denounced on the national stage by that paragon of moral virtue, Bill Clinton. Three Percenters are uncompromising firearm owners who have stated very plainly for years that we will obey no further encroachments on our Second Amendment rights. Some of you, if you read this carelessly, may feel that it is a threat. It is not. Three Percenters also believe that to take the first shot in a conflict over principle is to surrender the moral high ground to the enemy. We condemn so-called collateral damage and terrorism such as that represented by the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Waco massacre. We are very aware that if you seek to defeat evil it is vital not to become the evil you claim to oppose. Thus, though this letter is certainly intended to deal with an uncomfortable subject, it is not a threat to anyone. However, it is important for everyone to understand that while we promise not to take the first shot over principle, we make no such promise if attacked, whether by common criminals or by the designated representatives of a criminal government grown arrogant and tyrannical and acting out an unconstitutional agenda under color of law. If we have any model, it is that of the Founding generation. The threat to public order and safety, unfortunately, comes from the current leaders of your state government who unthinkingly determined to victimize hitherto law-abiding citizens with a tyrannical law. They are the ones who first promised violence on the part of the state if your citizens did not comply with their unconstitutional diktat. Now, having made the threat (and placed the bet that you folks of the Connecticut State Police will meekly and obediently carry it out) they can hardly complain that others take them seriously and try by every means, including this letter, to avoid conflict.
