Deadline fast approaching for new Connecticut gun ban/registration edict
That raises a key question for gun owners opting for obedience: If an order is later given to surrender your registered firearms, will you also obey that? After all, the same justification and reasons can be given for doing that as are being given now, and the compulsion to obey would actually be stronger -- the “authorities” will now have conveniently coerced lists which you provided to assist them in identifying you, where you are, and what you have.

Statement from CCDL in re Registration Deadline
I like that on their website, they phrased it "If you wish to be in compliance you can find all of the forms needed here."Groton, CT- December 20th, 2013The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (The state's largest grass roots 2nd Amendment rights group) Is reminding the gun owning public that the deadline for registration and declaration of certain firearms and magazines is fast approaching.
CCDL President Scott Wilson stated the following: " Many People are still not aware of the law itself, or the actual date of implementation (January 1st). While CCDL wholeheartedly believes that this law is unconstitutional, we want to make sure that law abiding gun owners do not become felons on January 1st".
"Of particular concern is the fact that many handgun magazines as well as semi-automatic rifle magazines with a capacity of greater than ten rounds were sold standard along with guns prior to April 4th. These magazines with more than 10 round capability must be declared. Registration of newly re-defined assault weapons must be registered by the deadline as well.
The CCDL President also stated: "Until Public Act 13-3 is resolved in the Federal Courts, this is sadly the law for now. I sincerely hope that no, unaware, law abiding person(s) receive a prison sentence, being made an example of, by the State".
"This law could potentially ruin the lives of entire families. People that had absolutely nothing to do with what happened in Sandy Hook last December".
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League is helping lead to legal the challenge of the new law along with other plaintiffs. Oral arguments will be heard in Federal court this coming January 30th in Hartford. More information may be found at www.ccdl.us
I like it because it acknowledges there is a choice.
I can't tell anyone else what to do. I can only point to what I did, which some, no doubt, will dismiss as foolishness followed by extreme luck, but which I would counter was only because everyone didn't do it.
I will ask one question though, to those of you complying: If an order is later given to surrender your registered firearms, will you also obey that?

Call for independent counsel better late than never but false premise continues
“[E]xpecting a truly independent [counsel] to be appointed by a department that is up to its neck in stonewalling and cover-up, by a president whose own role and interests are appropriate for scrutiny, is at best problematic, and at worst a recipe for ensuring those responsible for ‘Project Gunwalker’ are never held accountable for actions that have resulted in human deaths on both sides of the border," this column explained in October, 2011 ...

You still don't get it. The greatest hope of the average Joe for political journalists is not that they find their Kentucky, but that they remember the history of their profession.[Via Dan Gifford]
Journalists were supposed to be part of the checks on tyrannical governance, to report the truth, not to be a part of the story. It was never about 'you' or 'I', it was about being a voice for the people. And someone who would be really good at that, would naturally end up being a hero. It's the place where journalism is a calling, not a stepping stone towards being part of the corrupt nature of the system. Where nests are feathered and the point is lost.
When or if you ever discover what you really were supposed to be doing in DC, then we can have a conversation. I applaud your attempts, but you've only just started your journey.
This is so much bigger than individual players, the politicians du jour or the political posturing of the day. This is about a fundamental tenant of how this country was supposed to work. Go to where the story is, follow it to the end of the road, tell the truth, and you could be a beacon of light of redemption for all that is oh so very wrong. You want to know what the people want? They want THAT and they can't get it. And it's absolutely the reason why they hate the media, despise politicians and despair at what their country has become.

The thing is, you guys who will apparently follow any order and not break the code of silence, you who abuse your authority, you whose highest priority is to make it home at the end of your shift and to hell if the people you're falsely presumed to protect and serve do, haven't exactly been making any friends.
One note of caution about the way things are presented on the linked site: I don't accept on blind faith that 5,000 were "murdered" by the police. I'd have to see that explained before assuming that none of those were legitimate DGUs against bad and dangerous freelance predators. That said, I'd love to see a credible breakdown, and have no doubt just from stories posted here that many (most?) are ruled justifiable and consistent with department protocols just because they can be.
