State orders owners of newly-banned, unregistered firearms to turn them all in

The State of Connecticut is now demanding that gun owners across the state turn in all newly-banned, unregistered firearms and magazines or face felony arrest.

The State Police Special Licensing & Firearms Unit began mailing out notices to gun owners who attempted to register their firearms and accessories with the state but did not do so in time for the Jan. 1 deadline of Connecticut’s newly enacted gun control law.

The law bans the sale of magazines holding over 10 rounds and “assault rifles” manufactured after 1994 and requires that residents who possessed either before the ban to register them with the state.

“We are returning your application for [an] assault rifle certificate and/or [a] large capacity magazine declaration because it was not received or postmarked prior to January 1, 2014 as required by law,” the notice states.

The letter breaks down the gun owner’s “options,” including surrendering their firearms and magazines to the police, selling them to a gun dealer, removing them from the state or rendering them inoperable.

Because these owners attempted to register their guns and accessories, the state can now prosecute them at will because they know exactly who they are.

But when it comes to the vast majority of gun owners who did not register at all, Connecticut lacks clout.

Last month it was revealed that out of the over 2.4 million high-capacity magazines in Connecticut, only 38,000 have been registered.

[Lucky1]

There are some very brave people in CT.

Registration always leads to confiscation. I applaud the brave gentlemen in CT and hope that people in every other state that enacts unconstitutional laws have the same response. Unconstitutional laws are illegal and should not be obeyed.

Now that I looked closer at the letter. It is dated Jan 2nd. I don't think they would have sent them out that soon if they were requiring that the application had to be postmarked by the 1st.

[Lucky1]

I guess the requirement was before the 1st. Still to soon to send out the letter.

Lets say the certificate application was dropped in the mailbox just after pick up on December 31st. It gets picked up and post marked January 1st after the dead line. Now add 2-3 day delivery time for 1st class letter delivery according to the USPS web site, and you have the letter being received on the 3rd at the earliest. Unless they somehow knew who was applying before the applications were actually received, that letter is phony.

The difference between our founding fathers and the individuals of today is that the founding fathers would meet and assemble.  You won't see that today.  And those that defy the law will be arrested one at a time while those watch it and talk under there tongue of what they would do if it happened to them.  Unfortunately it may happen and nothing will be done about it.  Armed swat teams will roll in and burn the structure down around you as we have watched on several occasions.  They will label you as whatever they want to justify there actions to the media and public.  It becomes an acceptable form of witch hunting for so called right wing militia extremist.  Despite ones love for life, family, God and country.

MILLER: New Jersey bill is outright gun ban on .22-caliber rifles and leads to confiscation

Gov. Chris Christie’s state is ground zero for gun control legislation this year



The New Jersey Assembly's Law and Public Safety Committee was scheduled to hold a public hearing on Monday (postponed for snow) about a bill that reduces the maximum magazine capacity from 15 to 10.

Since the legislation covers both detachable and fixed magazines, it has the effect of to banning popular, low-caliber rifles.

The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs gave the draft legislation to top firearms experts in the country to determine what guns would fall under the expanded ban.

They discovered that the bill would affect tube-fed, semi-automatic rifles because the magazine cannot be separated from the gun.

Thus, the experts found that at least 43 common rifles would suddenly be considered a prohibited “assault firearm,” such as the .22 caliber Marlin Model 60, Remington Nylon 66 and Winchester 190.

Just having one such gun would turn a law-abiding owner into a felon overnight.

 Several Conn. Police Officers Refuse to Confiscate

http://www.examiner.com/article/conn-police-refuse-to-enforce-new-gun-laws

 A  showdown is developing between a sizable number of Connecticut state police officers and the politicians who passed into law highly restrictive gun control, gun bans, and bans on high capacity magazines.

Gun rights legal expert and activist David Hardy reported Friday that 250 law enforcement officers in Connecticut have signed an open letter stating that they will not enforce the new anti-gun and magazine laws, which they consider to be a violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

A major news story on these developments is due to be published soon, but Hardy received an advanced notice via email from Tyler Jackson, the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers Association, the organization that sent the open letter.

According to Hardy,

“
Tyler Jackson has emailed me an interesting story, soon to appear online (I'll link to it once it does)-- the gist is that the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers' Assn has released an open letter stating that the police will not "be party to the oppression of the people of the state by enforcing an unconstitutional law." So far 250 LEOs have cosigned the letter.”

Gunowners in the state have already ignored the mandate to comply with the new laws, refusing to register with the state government their possession of so-called "assault weapons" and forbidden magazines.

It is estimated that over 300,000 gunowners have practiced civil disobedience in refusing to register and give up the newly forbidden items. Only roughly 50,000 citizens in the state have complied.

But now these courageous citizens have key support in high places. With at least 250 law enforcement officers joining them in disobeying an unconstitutional law, the gunowners have a new weapon in their arsenal -- the support of hundreds of police officers.

What other organization is trying to be prepared? What should we do if they start raiding homes in CT? It's a rhetorical question. I don't really know what to do, but I am looking around and trying to be prepared.

I know exactly what I'm going to do if I get a knock on my door by Mr. Gun Grabber.  (We really need a shovel smiley con).

Oath Keepers would have done well with their first article of faith, so to speak. "We will NOT obey orders to disobey the American people." That was good enough. Then they get into other loopy stuff:

" 7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext." What the heck do you call jail? A cop who wants to be a part of Oath Keepers can't take someone to jail now.

"2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people"
Yeah? Cops conduct searches without warrants all the time, and the SCOTUS has ruled them Constitutional. There are exigent circumstances such as Hot Pursuit or Readily Mobile Conveyance exceptions that plainly allow for searches without a warrant. The 4th Amendment doesn't prohibit searches without a warrant--instead that people be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. This is what courts rule on: constitutional reasonableness. The 4th then goes on to describe how warrants shall be issued.

Just some concerns I saw.

Conn. Cop: I Will Kick Down Doors To Confiscate Guns

March 12, 2014 by Mikael Thalen in Amendment II, Columns, Connecticut, Defense, Property with Comments (0)

UPDATE: Since the release of this article, Branford Police have confirmed that Officer Peterson has been placed on paid leave while an internal investigation is carried out.

A Connecticut man revealed shocking comments made by a Branford police officer this week who has openly defended door-to-door gun confiscation.

After the tragic Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, Conn. lawmakers mandated that all “assault rifles” and “high capacity” magazines be banned, requiring all in circulation to be registered with the state. Fearing the obvious move towards confiscation, the vast majority of gun owners have refused to submit, with estimates finding less than 13 percent of rifles being registered.

Navy veteran and firefighter John Cinque, who made national news after telling state lawmakers he would not comply with gun registration, briefly commented on the officer’s statements in a discussion with gubernatorial candidate Joe Visconti last Friday.
“I’ve had contact with a police officer in my home town, I live in Branford, and his words straight out were, ‘I cannot wait to get the order to kick your door in,’” Cinque said.

In an exclusive interview with Storyleak, Cinque further detailed the disturbing comments made by Branford Police Officer Joseph Peterson, one of the state’s most highly decorated officers.
