Connecticut sends out the first gun confiscation letters

Second Amendment · Feb 25, 2014

I wonder how many of those folks getting the letters purchased non-regulated HBAR's and will say they sold them privately?

Since when do we have registration in MD. I haven't purchased anything since 2011.

Maybe they'll line up shoulder to shoulder like after the Boston Marathon incident and sweep the state street by street. Guess you'd better put your belongings in a boat in the yard since they'll miss it.

Does Connecticut have secondary FTF sales for rifles?

I don't think they have HBARs.

Handguns have been registered for a very long time in Maryland. The state even keeps a souvenir of your purchase in the form of a fired shell casing. Regulated long guns were registered before they were banned.

We have a de facto registration here.

Baron von Frosh was forced to admit last year, on the Senate floor, that anything purchased as a Regulated Firearm in Maryland is considered "registered"

A special kind of stupid, I know......

I hope those that comply after a visit don't still get charged with a felony. Well for that matter, I hope those that don't comply don't get charged either.

If God forbid someone fires on an officer trying to confiscate a weapon, the government will either have to go in balls to the wall on the remaining ones or stop and rethink the entire thing. I think one gunshot will remove any middle ground. I feel bad for those good american citizens put in this position by stupid politicians.

The Gov of Conn should be held responsible for the murders.

well that beats the quote "from my cold dead hands" :tdown:

it's a lose lose situation...definitely don't expect 300,000+ individuals happily inviting the swat team in with open harms and some Kool-Aid

I feel bad for the innocent victims who would be killed in their own home by an overzealous officer enforcing an unconstitutional law.

If one knows an action is wrong, they do not have have to perpetuate it using the Nuremburg defense.

It all depends on how the state decides to proceed. Hopefully they decide to send sheriffs to serve papers during daylight hours and let the courts settle whether the law is legal or not. But, if they start breaking down doors in the middle of the night than people are going to get hurt.

I hope this never comes to MD. If they state said that we must register all our HBARS, VZ's, AR-10, 80% AR's and AK's, etc... Would you?
Don't post your answer here, but seriously consider the question. When the time comes to choose, you'll need to already have an answer.

Politicians made the bed, but they WON'T have to sleep in it because they are not the innocent gun owner who is about to have his legal possessions confiscated nor are politicians the ones who will receive the orders to do the confiscating. Law enforcement and lawful gun owners need to join together and put corrupt politicians where they belong...in prison.
