    Listen to this moron:
    "If they were trying to make them illegal, I'd have a real issue, but if they want to just know where they are, that's fine with me," said Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines.

    If you ask me this guy isn't smart enough to be allowed to own a gun. When they come to confiscate his it will be no great loss.

    Remember..."Just give us a little piece of the bar for non smokers, we don't want anything more...Its a seat belt law but we'll only ticket it as a 2nd citation"...Give them a little and they'll always want more.

    How close we are to...

    "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. Translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens. Introduced and with a new preface by H. R. Trevor-Roper. The original German papers were known as Bormann-Vermerke.

    Of course, in our case the "subject races" are law-abiding individual rights advocates.

    Agree it resides in a political will of those who are responsible gun owners to show how electioneer officials will have consequences for their decisions ( both good and bad ) and CT politicians continue to show a very good understanding on how not to get to the root cause of the problem.

    My advice, bug-out instead.
    Check out the Free State Project in either New Hampshire or Wyoming.
    Choose one, then bail.

    This may sound like bluster, but I think I'll stick to it when the time comes. I won't have any legal trouble if I get raided, because I'm going to be around to see the end. But neither will the ones who try to raid my house.

    I'm in poor enough health that I wouldn't last more than a year in jail, so if I'm going to die it might as well be in defense of a cause I believe in.

    I'm appalled that any of my fellow Connecticut citizens are actually falling for this registration scheme. None of the fellow gun owners I have spoken with have any intention of registering guns or magazines. I'm not saying I have any high capacity magazines, but if I did it's none of the states business and I would have no intention of registering them.

    Everytime I have discussed this topic with fellow gun owners all we do is laugh and laugh and laugh.

    I don't own any guns that would require registration, but if I did I wouldn't be one of the ones waiting in line.

    All of my firearms and magazines which would require registration have been FFL'd out to Wyoming and are waiting for me there.

    Are you active in the CCDL?

    The article mentions nothing about the CCDL, a very large and motivated group of CT gun owners who are looking to bring the political pain to the CT legislature next election.

    This is a truly disturbing development, and most likely not the last state this will happen in. We also should not assume that the people in line were totally compliant with the law. Here is an example. If they started this crap in Tennessee (How laughable it that?) I would certainly “register” the firearm I carry every day, along with the one that I keep for home defense. Those are the only ones I would register, because if I ever had to use them I would not want the additional legal troubles.
    Are those the only firearms I own? Why yes, I lost all the others in a boating accident. What a shame. What a shame.

    Yeah, if I were to hold out on the government and be stupid enough to store unregistered guns in my house I would deserve to be caught for my stupidity. My story is hypothetical. My point is just that some are most likely holding out. Me? I would hit the road.

    I'm afraid Co. may not be able to turn the tide fully. Not unless they can reverse their march to be central Commiefornia . I truly hope they can, but those of us who are active in the firearms industry have watched Co slipping away for some time.

    They will need a lot of courage to stand upto the libs who are running the cities now. Places were votes are bought with tax payer 'services' and making governmental decisions based on 'feeling' instead of logic and reason.

    Gun restrictions are the symptom of the disease of liberalism with the goal of domination and tyrannical rule by a 'dear leader' being the golden ring they seek.

    They can not achieve this without first disarming the American people. The question is at what point will we join together and say enough.

    Not at all. I'd have been gone by now if I were. I live in officially in Illinois, but have homes in Texas, Florida, Arizona and soon in Tennessee. I'm waiting for the market to pick up and I'll most likely sell all of them and build a new one someplace quiet. But it won't be CT, that's for certain.

    Exactly. This is why they make you sign forms when you register your firearms listing all guns in your possession. If they have knowledge that you own more guns then you report on the form then expect them to show up at your door and confiscate all of them whether registered or not, while losing your permit in the process.
