Tens of thousands of Connecticut residents refuse to register guns under new law

[Randall53]

I just saw this headline from back in February. I didn't see anything recent. Any updates have obviously not been good news for the gun hating unconstitutional law makers and therefore squashed by the MSM.  Here's the last thing I found:

NY police have refused to release the numbers on AW registration.   Apparently, they are very low and this would be viewed as a failure.

 

comrade coumo is loosing ground in the polls too.

Next step is guv'mint will try to introduce and pass laws against relocating your business to another state...due to the dreadful impact on those down trodden people at the trough who are dependent upon the tax revenues guv'mint exports from businesses to feed the looters...playing the guilt card, "see how greedy those people are, they have more than enough and are not willing to throw alms to the poor." Who is John Galt?

Noncompliance is good in theory. But in reality they will deal with them one at a time seizing weapons and possibly arresting them.
There is no win until they get the law changed.

Tell that to the state troopers in PA who are still beating the bushes...  Doesn't take very many to move from simple noncompliance to forceful resistance before  things go sideways fast.

Threatening to kill cops won’t intimidate anyone; especially cops. All that will do is give the gun grabbing legislators something to point to. And that is not civil disobedience; its criminal homicide. All that leads to is being a dead azz criminal or spending the rest of your life in prison.

Not necessarily, the Bundy Ranch incident proved that armed resistence can make the feds back down. No different than an authortarian state government. If there's a real fear of chaos and blood, the elitist will do what they can to preserve their cozy little spoon fed existence even if they have to back down.

It's all about numbers. Noncompliance by 100 people and you're right. Noncompliance by 100,000, and you're not. I agree that getting the law changed is the ultimate solution. But with that said, I would be one that wouldn't comply.

I'm not sure why people aren't fighting this all the way to the supreme court...there is the Gun Owners Protection Act of 1986 if I'm not mistaken that prohibits gun registration at the Federal and State level...

FOPA (Firearm Owners Protection Act) does not prohibit states from having a registry.

 

It also does not prevent a registry on federal level from a number of sources by the ATF Firearms Tracing System. I think the largest source of the data is from FFLs out of business records.

I think Canada tried the gun registration thing, and finally called it quits in 2012...was a major FAIL

"No such rule or regulation prescribed [by the Attorney General] after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary's authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation."

 

 

​I think that's verbatim from the Act that was passed... reads like it would prohibit ANY government at the state and federal from registering firearms...
