AN ACT REQUIRING REGISTRATION OF ALL FIREARMS.
To require registration of all firearms.
Introduced by: Rep. Toni E. Walker, 93rd Dist.
Sen. Toni Nathaniel Harp, 10th Dist.
Rep. Gary A. Holder-Winfield, 94th Dist. [More]
Here's the bill.
I know some counsel to be polite.
But this is an act of aggression, an order to obey them or be destroyed.
So my advice would be to tell them to go **** themselves, that if they want to know who has guns assume we all do, and then conduct themselves accordingly.

Do you suppose these (ahem) representatives have any idea how big that particular can of worms is?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, either.
As I recall, during The Terror, the French had a Committee of Public Safety also, probably the first true communist govt. And being what Conn. is, and is populated with, they'll probably get this in some form. Squeeze,baby,squeeze.
ReplyDeleteSean, in defense of Connecticut, the general mainstream population is comprised of average, hard working blue collar folk.
ReplyDeleteThe problem in this state is what one might call "New York carpetbaggers", who live on the southwestern Fairfield Gold coast and Litchfield county.
Not to mention we are surrounded by NY, MA, RI, and precariously close to NJ. Quite frankly compared to those states we are far better off.
This is what skews the states AGI figures and unfortunately inhabits the Hartford political machine.
Sort of comparable to the differences between N.Y.C and upstate New York or Boston and the western Mass. area, for that matter.
Regardless, vigilance is required no matter what state it is.
California and New York are the models all pro-control states want to emulate.
Cue Alvie's "Don't take me alive" video, because that's what it'll lead to.
ReplyDeleteI think we all learned a few things from Hurricane Katrina. Namely, the GROUP of gun owners hanging out together who refused to surrender their weapons, and the forces of confiscation found somewhere else to be and someone alone to mess with.
As for "They'll never go that far," New York City first banned smoking in restaurants, and people griped but complied. The it was all indoor nonresidential spaces. Yesterday, they added the 1,700 city parks and all the 14 miles of beaches. And possibly people's CARS soon.
For their own good?
People who die young pay less in taxes over a lifetime and tend to be in a lower bracket anyway until late middle age.
Thanks, David. I sent my representative a simple message, and that message was, "No."
ReplyDeleteUsing California's Assault Weapons Registration and Confiscation law as an example, no more than about 5% of owners of guns would comply. I numbers I saw the last time I checked, something like 40 to 60 thousand assault weapons were registered, out of at least 900,000 owned. The actual figure of total ownership is unknown because AR-15 lower receivers, FAL upper receivers, and others continued to be sold for years after the law took effect. Parts kits to make them into usable firearms continued to be shipped in as well. I may know someone who made half a dozen usable firearms that way.
ReplyDeleteThat means that millions of people living in that puerile, puritan, Yankee state would remain armed despite the law.
Last, this bill is unlikely to pass, as soon as the cost of and the enormity of this scheme is revealed, it will be thrown on the dung heap of history, at least for now.
