Connecticut MANDATORY RETROACTIVE gun registration starting now...

[enoch150]

They either comply or they don't. It will be interesting to see if any of the militias will come to the aid of those that don't comply. I doubt they will.

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.

Press Release On Senator McKinney Gubernatorial Run

Groton, CT July 23rd, 2013

The President for the Connecticut Citizens Defense League (The state’s largest grass roots gun rights group) offers comments on a gubernatorial run by Senate minority leader John McKinney.

CCDL President Scott Wilson: “Senator McKinney was instrumental in implementing a historic gun control law with zero consideration for the constitutional rights of law abiding gun owners. With his deliberate act of siding with gun control supporters, there will be no support from CCDL for his run”.

The CCDL President also stated that other elected officials who went along with the Senate leader and voted in favor of the gun control law, could expect the same from the organization.

I don't understand the question. None, obviously.

Some of them tried to claim the original version of the bill was worse, and this was the best extent to which they could moderate it. But they've held a number of town hall meetings trying to use this defense and are called out for it being bull shit every time. If it was going to pass anyway, as they claim, they could have voted against the final bill with a clean conscious.

That tv crew must have searched for gun owners who agreed with the law. Or maybe the few who don't care were the ones who went out to register on the first day. But every gun owner I've seen is furious. They've already flipped one seat to a pro-gun Republican in a special election.

Obviously?
I have only known ONE,, in my lifetime..
But I have seen many that are considered pro-2nd Amendment both propose and vote for more registration and prohibition.

So the obvious is not so much so.

I actually agree with SMcGee, not the choice of words, but his point. Not everyone has time to watch, or has the data connection to watch, the video. So a little summary would be nice.

Cant comment on the video, can't watch.

I have a short video summary of this video. For those who cannot watch videos, please click on this link and you can watch it.

The lady says... you shouldn't have a problem doing this if you are an upstanding citizen. Thing is, lady, the criminals are NOT upstanding citizens and they aren't going to register their damn guns!

Where are peoples' brains these days? Sheesh.

It also makes it easier for the state to confiscate, when they get around to making it illegal to own/possess any firearm. Someday, I'm not kidding.

sorry, the only thing one can push back with now is a .50 cal.
it's over. read history. it shows the future.

Hard to believe New England was once the birthplace of revolution.

I think this is pretty close to what got it started somewhere around there; isn't it?

Someone coming to rip off an armory?


Gun grabbing in Boston met with resistance

BOSTON - National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Or to stage a war and hand over the list.

Globally.

Allow counterfeiting of the money supply by those inside AND outside of the country I imagine it only a matter of time till everyone could be bought off. Seems to me many of us already are.

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.

I'm in my early twenties, and I have to say I've noticed what you're saying with a lot of people my age and younger. Some people will watch any video about any topic no matter how long it is when they could have spent 1/10th the time just by reading it. Not only is reading faster, but you can easily jump to the section that interests you just by reading a few strings of words in each paragraph then searching through the next one. You can't easily do that in video.

I'll read through an article here and there throughout the day, but I couldn't possibly watch the video equivalent of the amount of articles I read. Video/audio is totally inferior to reading in terms of time spent when it comes to researching any topic.

Of course registration is offensive, but it's really kind of moot anyway. If people are going to surrender their registered weapons when confiscation is attempted, then they obviously never intended to use their guns as a last-ditch defense of their rights in any case. People who will surrender their guns WILL surrender all their other rights as well.

 

[Pericles]

I think we can all agree - ITS A TRAP!

 

[osan]

why don't you post your opinion, or maybe an explanation. Get so fucking tired of clicking on threads that are nothing more than a title and a youtube video. fucking express yourself.

Why don't you post your opinion? Get so fucking tired of clicking on threads only to find someone whining about finding nothing but a title and a youtube video. Fucking express something more than whininess.

Get it?

Ah... now I see where you've been going wrong all these years. You assume they have brains.

Allow me to disabuse you...

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

Molon Labe, bitches.

There. Fixed it for you.

True, but it's not those people for whom my concern lies. Honestly, I don't care if every last willing pretty slaver is murdered. I really do not. I will shed not the first tear for them. If things come to that I am sure I will be plenty shocked - how could any decent human being not be? But once I recover myself, I cannot see that I would feel the least compassion for a single one of them. If you are going to degrade and betray yourself - if you are going to refuse to respect yourself and indeed hold yourself in such freakish and shrieking contempt, I most certainly will show you the same regard. I have never cottoned to cowards and I make no apologies for that.

Does anyone have a right to kill such people? No, but when they do how am I to feel pity, compassion, and outrage for those who laid down for their own doom with smiles on their faces? I cannot. More importantly, I will not. Such people get what they merit. It is your right to waive your rights. It is mine to despise you for it.
