Fox News has finally reported that Connecticut has sent out gun confiscation letters.
The letters tell gun owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish the arms to the police or make them permanently inoperable.
Hundreds of thousands of residents have yet to comply with the new law, which they were required to do by Jan. 1st of this year – turning them all into felons overnight.
What your next move Connecticut?
Connecticut officials are urging owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish them to the police or make them permanently inoperable.The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection announced Friday it had sent a letter to owners who had failed to register the items by a Jan. 1 deadline, part of last year’s gun control law. Officials offered advice on what to do now with the weapons and magazines.
The letter says gun owners are in compliance with the new state law if their items are no longer in Connecticut or were sold to an authorized gun dealer.
Those who fail to comply face charges of possessing an unregistered assault weapon and/or high capacity magazine.
Commissioner Dora Schriro denied rumors DESPP is confiscating weapons.
This isWRONG!!
I think it is time to buy, not comply
POOR excuse of law makers and law enforcement !!!
the Conn governor should be recalled on his election since he wants to disarm the cotozens and leave them defensive .
all you all in Connecticut need to gather together and then let them try to take your weapons
this is $#%&!@*en old ass news
No these letters were received by gun owners on 8/9/14 that their legally registered weapons and magazines were not registered and needed to be turned over. Every single person that received the letter had complied with the law and had the documentation to prove that they had indeed registered their weapons and magazines before the deadline. The DESPP quickly admitted their mistake by 8/12/14
Have to say..I have seen this one coming for a long time.
Do the people of Connecticut not know they can fight this legislation and very likely win? There STILL IS an amendment to protect you from such things. It s your right to own and bear arms, so go for it. This isn’tt Russia, it is supposed to be America. Let’ keep it that way.
does Connecticut not know about the 2nd amendment
DONT DO IT !!!
