The Connecticut Peace Officers’ Assn will release an open letter stating that police in Connecticut will not “be party to the oppression of the people of the state by enforcing an unconstitutional law.” So far around 250 police officers have cosigned the letter.
An estimated 100,000 people in CT have not registered their guns in accordance with the new law, turning them into felons.
Now we have hundreds of law enforcement refusing to comply. Of course, there are a lot of cops that will….and we can see the squaring off of sides coming into view.
Civil war coming soon to a city near you….
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.
Hardy reported that with the lack of support of police, Connecticut faces massive civilian resistance, with police officers refusing to enforce a law that to most citizens crosses a line that is unacceptable in a free society.
If such a thing can happen in a deeply blue state in New England, what would law enforcement encounter if they attempted such an ill-fated attack on Constitutionally-protected rights in Texas, Wyoming, South Carolina, Utah, or Kentucky?
This is something that the political powers that be in government and law enforcement — and in the Courts — should think long and hard about before acting in such a knee-jerk fashion as Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Massachusetts have done.
This is all a f**e report, it has been going around for awhile now. There is no such orginization in CT.
No such thing as the “CT police officers association”
thanks Dennis.. you are 100 % correct.. after some lengthy research, this organization dose not exist !!!
therefor, the letter dose NOT exist.
I would really hope that the Ct. Police would do their own street injunction and uphold their oaths. Time will tell. Ct. Is like a powderkeg right now
Jeez… Has it not occurred to anyone that the organization that posyed tjis lie set out to deceive and they are the real enemy of true Americas. Our Military and our law enforcement officers must submit to the rule of law. It’s the absolute cornerstone of American democracy. Yet there are those who say that a sworn officer can violate that oath. If you don’t like the law change the law and not the one charged to enfore all law. The day our military and peace officers get to decide whether they have to abide by their oath or not, America ceases to exist. An oath is an inviolable contract that binds the individual by his strength of character and the faithful by his word to God.
I told you all that this is f**e!!
Why should they be registered we are allowed to have guns right. It is our constitutional right. The only people who need to register should be unstable or felons or anyone with a record……don’t you think….
glad to see some of us have a brain in our heads ! they are trying to make our country communist , & we are not having it !!
Changing the law must begin somewhere, Rick Reyes….
