Connecticut MANDATORY RETROACTIVE gun registration starting now...

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Look at the sheeple. Well, when the National Guard and local authorities start confiscating you better believe they'll print up those registration lists and start going door to door and then you're really fucked if you're non-compliant. They have you on record of confessing to owning a weapon. Why on Earth anyone would voluntary sign up for such non-sense. As evidenced by that dumb ass broad - the answer is they're stupid and naive beyond belief.

Well the 'gubmint said so, so's I must'nt disobey. Lock step, lock step. CHOOOOO-CHOOOOO.

Where is this? Somewhere in Hartford? I should get down there with some Free State Project brochures.

Come on CT residents, vote with your feet, move from one of the worst states to one of the best with only a couple of hours drive. I for sure am getting out of here within a few months, as soon as I finish the transition that will allow me to work remotely.

We need more people doing this. In essence, if you choose to stay and pay taxes in a state where such atrocious laws are being passed, you are passively feeding the beast. It should be a win-win for conservatives/libertarians to cut ties with liberal leeches by leaving. I for one refuse to live in a state where my tax dollars will be used to strip me of my rights. Having said that, Georgia isn't all it's cracked up to be, but at least it's no New York or Connecticut.

Yup. It takes less than an hour to drive from the CT border to the NH border. Less than 2 hours from the main CT airport to Keene, NH. I see plenty of plates with CT cars at the stores in the Keene area. Those folks come here to buy stuff. Some of thm might be pro-liberty. And if they are looking for a warmer area. Parts of the southern NH Seacoast have higher winter highs than some parts of northeastern and northwestern CT. Heck, that part of NH is also warmer than the Springfield, MA area too. http://nhfreedom.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/part-2-putting-new-hampshires-weather-into-perspective/

I know exactly what you mean. For the longest time I didn't have sound so I couldn't watch, but now I find that I just don't care to watch YouTube videos. I think it's an age thing. Two generations down the road people probably won't even know how to write any more - they'll communicate entirely by video.

I hope I am dead before then.

Acronyms slow me down. I don't mean obvious ones like NASA or NATO, but ones people use to make phrases on this forum. I know a few like LOL or IMHO, but there are a lot that i have to stop reading, open another browser and search. Sometimes i never finding anything.

I think people have until the end of the year (I may be wrong about that), so we won't know much about noncompliance for a while. As far as I know, there aren't any militias in Connecticut. But the Connecticut Citizens Defense League is a very principled and very active (politically, legally, and for recruitment) gun rights group which formed in 2009 and they have had some success in pushing back against state and local government. They're one of the groups suing to stop this. They've also gone from around 2,500 members just before Sandy Hook to about 8,500 now and are still growing rapidly.

They've all but declared war on every politician who voted for the law. They have always selectively endorsed candidates, but now they have taken to issuing press releases stating that they won't be supporting anyone who voted for this.

I went to boarding school in connecticut. It is a shame that a beautiful state (Kent Falls, Long Island Sound, and Lake Warramug is basically heaven) with a history of defending Liberty has succumbed to Malloy's bullshit. He went to my middle school to encourage learning disabled kids to reach for the stars. I really hope he was kidding. Connecticut, even in Litchfield County, is a place where good intentions go to hell. THe teacher i had a huge love for, lives in Cornwall. I fear for her.

I know. They are now the most fawning compliant pussies in the nation. It turns my stomach.

These days its filled with Former New Yorkers and Northern New Jersey Residents (like myself) that populated the area. Its a good place to be rich. My dad once considered buying a house in Greenwich. The Public schools (if you live in the good areas like Redding, Easton, Greenwich, and Weston) are tremendously high class. Joel Barlow is the 9th best one in CT. Weston and Greenwich gets people into Tier 1 Colleges. Housing and living costs can eat up most of you income. But if you are in say, Greenwich you'll pay the lowest property taxes in the nation. Private Schools are Associated with America's elite. Other than the good schools and suburban culture, i would't live there

I was the state co-coordinator for the Gary Johnson campaign. One trip delivering lawn signs and stuff took me first to a very... urban... neighborhood in Stamford. My next stop, one town over in Greenwich, was to a mansion in a neighborhood filled with nothing but mansions. It was surreal, but it reaffirmed my faith that liberty transcends economic class.

The kid I delivered to in Greenwich - a 20 something who lived with his parents - worked for a firm that did high frequency trading on Wall Street. He told me he would be moving to New York, shortly. For the last few decades, Connecticut's main advantage for attracting rich people was that its taxes were lower than New York and New Jersey. That advantage is now gone. The state pushed through 77 tax increases in 2011. Anyone with a high income who can work over a computer is moving to Florida. The state put a "Temporary" 10% surcharge on the corporate income tax a few years back, and instead of letting it expire, they added another 20% surcharges on top of it. People here expect Obamacare to give a boost to the insurance industry, but what they don't realize is that Des Moines has already replaced Hartford as the insurance capital. Gun manufacturers are moving out. Most of the state doesn't realize it yet, but Connecticut is on the fast track to economic Armageddon.

The same year that CT increased taxes the most of any state, NH cut taxes. And the NH border is only an hour from the CT border. No income tax or sales tax. Property taxes tend to be lower in NH for middle class and above people than in CT. Government fees and excise taxes tend to be a lot lower. Peter Schiff received 27,831 votes in 2010 so there are at least several 1,000 people in CT that are open to liberty. Do you have any ideas on how to identify that 28,000 people in CT that might be open to the idea of liberty? I'd love to encourage some of them to move to NH. Even if they are elites, that's cool. NH is perhaps the best place to live if you want your kids to go to the top prep schools in the country and then the best colleges.

The top prep schools in the nation are concentrated in and around New Hampshire

People in Greenwich tend to pay a lot more in property taxes than people in the rest of CT. The rate might be the lowest in CT (I don't know if that is true) but the amount people pay is substantially higher than the typical Northeastern rate, which in and of itself, is above the national average. The lowest property taxes in the US are found in both Alaska and New Hampshire, where there are communities without property taxes. The lowest rates that I know of are in NH but perhaps there are lower rates somewhere else. I guess i get what you are saying. If someone wanted a massive mansion in the outer NYC area, Greenwich is a good location for one.

The LP US Senate candidate also got 25,045 last year, which was a party record. And I know several people that have already moved to other states because of the stuff that goes on here - two to Texas, one to Maine. My parents moved to Virginia, and it's looking increasingly like I'm headed for a permanent move their myself. At least one person has told me he only came to CT for a few years while making his way to NH.

But I'm not sure you're going to convince anyone with schools. People like John F Kennedy and Ivanka Trump went to school less than a mile from my house, and I don't even live in one of the rich areas. You're also probably not going to get many converts by claiming that some areas of southern NH are warmer than northern CT. There's a significant difference in the temperature and snowfall between southern CT (where most people live, other than the Hartford area) and northern CT. I've also seen you mention things like healthcare. I'm sure the price difference is substantial, but that's probably the only thing going for NH. Anyone with serious health issues is going to want to stay near a city like New Haven.

People mostly leave CT for three reasons: job prospects, taxes, and the weather. For weather they go south. I can tell you that when my parents left, they were more concerned with property taxes than income taxes. They looked at NH and considered the property taxes to high. Higher income people look for no income tax states and aren't concerned as much about property taxes.

Anyway, to answer your question, yes, there are people with private email lists that when combined, can reach - I'm guessing - 15,000 - 20,000 of the Schiff voters, aside from Schiff himself, whose email list is roughly ten times larger, although most of his list don't live in Connecticut. Schiff's campaign came as the Tea Party was rising and he got a substantial amount of votes from them. And the people running the Tea Party factions were efficient at harvesting emails. My personal email list has 750 - 1,000 liberty minded folks, but I'm not giving you that. But you can email the following groups and reach approximately 750 different people through their lists. They all have open email lists and as long as you don't look like you're trying to sell something, you're not going to be banned.

And then what?

What will happen to the hundreds of thousands of owners who don’t register?

Ruby Ridge? Regardless, this will not end well.
