Connecticut sends out the first gun confiscation letters
Posted by stargeezer 11 years, 2 months ago to Government
Gun confiscation is one step closer in Connecticut. The mainstream media spins it as “one more chance” for non-compliant gun owners who failed to register their scary guns before the January 1 deadline.
In reality, these letters - 106 to rifle owners, and 108 more to residents with standard capacity magazines – are the first step in the Connecticut State Police beginning to round up guns arbitrarily made illegal last year in that state. These guns include America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15 and magazines over 10 rounds, which include the standard capacity magazines made for that America’s favorite rifle.
Failure to register is now a felony now in Connecticut.
How long will it be before there is bloodshed over this law? We’re not sure, but we’re confident it is coming unless the law is rescinded or struck down by the courts.
Mike Vanderboegh of the edgy Sipsey Street Irregulars released an open letter a couple of weeks ago, warning of what’s coming to Connecticut. The Connecticut State Police aren’t listening. Yet.
We suspect attitudes may change after the first few rounds of bloodshed.
As it stands right now, the best estimates are that 4% of newly-regulated guns and magazines in The Nutmeg State have been registered, leaving a hundred thousand or more newly classified potential felons looking over their shoulder.

One more chance for gun owners

Manchester, CT (Journal Inquirer) – When state officials decided to accept some gun registrations and magazine declarations that arrived after a Jan. 4 deadline, they also had to deal with those applications that didn’t make the cut.
The state now holds signed and notarized letters saying those late applicants own rifles and magazines illegally.
But rather than turn that information over to prosecutors, state officials are giving the gun owners a chance to get rid of the weapons and magazines.

The NRA for years compromised with the anti-gun left, for years pretended it was only about hunters' rights. Well... good for them.
The NRA is 3.5 million members. I don't know the numbers in CT, but if it's more than a hundred thousand, I'd be surprised. They have limited money and are fighting this in all fifty states and DC. Following Sandy Hook there was a huge and thankfully temporary push to "do something" and since Lanza had saved us the cost of a trial, everybody started blaming the tool instead of the madman who used it. Many still do. And many just say it as an opportunity to build THIER powerbase. And worse of all, many saw it as a chance to take down a part of the constitution that keeps their hands bound. These were the dangerous ones.
They took the bodies of those children and used them as drama props to effect legislation that they had been pushing for years without enough support to ever be allowed the light of day. Legislation that run contrary to every principal and value that makes us what we are. They took the horror of those dead children and manipulated the mental images we all had of our own kids going off to school and used them like weapons against freedom. The NRA was just too small, too paralyzed with the horror, too unable to defend a state of gun owner against themselves as the entire country mourned.
So where do I lay the blame for this? At the foot of every voter who is not a NRA member. At the foot of every voter who ever voted for a politician who was left leaning. At the feet of every gun owner who ever who ever bought a politician saying that they supported the 2A - for hunting guns, or who said the 2A didn't apply to "military" guns - and they voted for the evil jerk. At the feet of ANY union member who bought the "party line" and voted for the liberal ticket. At the feet of any voter who ever voted for a politician who ever said "we have to do this for their own good". At the feet of any voter who ever voted for a democrat, because "They were raised to vote that way".
I lay it at the feet of the voters of CT. And they are about to pay for it.
Great idea, but dangerous.
We go there and spend a month with Reno being our "base" as we enjoy all the history and stuff. It also gives us a safe place to leave our guns while we travel and tour into CA.
We try not to get into political discussions since we are polar opposites. On our last visit they were bragging about how hard they had been working to get new tax assessments passed to raise money for the school. They were convinced that more money for education would solve the gang problems - since educated people were not gang members (I HAD to turn them off at this point.
A couple weeks ago we are talking on the phone and they are complaining over how much their taxes were going up - They own a large ranch outside of the city and a large home in the city - mostly so their kids can go to the "best" schools.
They have a total disconnect between what they want and who is going to pay for it. Between words, actions and reactions. They want to be known as kind and caring people, but miss that in order to improve one's living conditions that person must do the work to change things.
You cannot make a person self reliant by giving them everything they need to live.
