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.
Just the rumor of this is cause for alarm .
Personally I would be afraid of any law enforcement group that would be in favor of such a law, much less agree to enforcement a local law when its a right of the constitution. It means that if any “official” gave an order to round up people or start confiscating their property the law enforcement would do it. What if they are in a position to need to defend themselves from harm and law enf. can’t respond in time? Is the county/state going to pay the surviors for their loss? This could get very expensive. Or if we are invaded by the people who vow to overrun and kill us, is the county/state going to start passing out guns and ammo? I don’t know what the officals has in mind for punishing people who refuse to give up their guns. Fines? Jail time, naw to many for that. Confiscation of propery? I really have enough faith left in me at the moment that I believe a lawsuit against the law and signed on to by ALLl the effected citizens, taken all the way to the Supreme Court would win and help stop this invasion on the Constitution of the United States and the citizens right to protection under it.
This is breaking the constitution and these law enforcers should be jailed along with the politicians who past this law.
Tell your stupid politicians to take a hike.
This is illegal, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
F-ing Nazis, that’s how it starts
Communist work.
Areyou$#%&!@*tingme????
I hope the law officers will not take a gun from someone and leave them helpless against a thug, ISIS, or whoever may want to harm them. Someone needs to wise up, this leaves people defenseless.
Communists GO HOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
