    Gun confiscations is one step closer in Connecticut. The mainstream media spins it as “one more chance” for non-compliant gun owners who failed to register their scary guns before the January 1 deadline.

    In reality, these letters - 106 to rifle owners, and 108 more to residents with standard capacity magazines – are the first step in the Connecticut State Police beginning to round up guns arbitrarily made illegal last year in that state. These guns include America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15 and magazines over 10 rounds, which include the standard capacity magazines made for that America’s favorite rifle.

    Failure to register is now a felony now in Connecticut.
    How long will it be before there is bloodshed over this law? We’re not sure, but we’re confident it is coming unless the law is rescinded or struck down by the courts.

    Mike Vanderboegh of the edgy Sipsey Street Irregulars released an open letter a couple of weeks ago, warning of what’s coming to Connecticut. The Connecticut State Police aren’t listening. Yet.

    We suspect attitudes may change after the first few rounds of bloodshed.
    As it stands right now, the best estimates are that 4% of newly-regulated guns and magazines in The Nutmeg State have been registered, leaving a hundred thousand or more newly classified potential felons looking over their shoulder.

    "The first few rounds of bloodshed" would be the worst possible thing to happen and the change in "attitudes" would not be what you appear to be hoping for. The law needs to be changed, but not by armed revolution. This isn't the effin eastern block. It's "irregulars" like that guy and those who promote it that give the 2A a negative appeal, which is becoming more negative in the eyes of would-be bystanders.

    I don't think he is saying to 'go out and kill the oppressors'. I think he means when a door is busted down at O-dark-thirty by several men dressed in black, fully armed and screaming incoherantly that there is a good chance an armed home owner is going to defend themselves.
    I can see that happening.

    Yeah, but how do you think said homeowner will be portrayed in the media?

    A) Law abiding family man, tax payer, husband, father of three, no criminal record, dead for committing no crime except failing to register a tool that up until recently was perfectly legal to own unregistered.

    OR

    B) Early this morning, police swat teams raided the house of suspected right wing militant for firearms violations. It is suspected that the militant was planning a domestic terror plot. The suspected, would-be terrorist died in an ensuing gun battle.
