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 is OLD news.

Can you say peeping Tom

register
They had till Jan 1 to register “assault weapons & (high)volume mags” then they could have kept them. Very many did register and still Own the Assault Weapons. Did Fox forget that part of news ?
I am an American born Citizen. I am not a criminal. Im a sound mind woman. I dont hunt. I just own guns. Why? Because I can. And all of them legal. I own a very large variety of hand guns, rifles, assault rifles, and shot guns. I reload my own ammunition too. I own 2 Pitbulls and my home is protected by both guns and my babies who are what will alert me should there ever be a need to protect myself and my home. It is my right to own guns. This is a disgrace and against our civil, constitutional and rights as Americans and anyone who thinks the law these mediocre excuse for human beings have the right to come into ones home and take guns then its time to hang the American Flags upside down because we are in deep distress. Nobody and I repeat NO BODY not the President, Not the cops, not the Governor not the Senator Not the pope Not even GOD will take my guns, my constitutional rights away from me and that is a FACT. TRUE THAT!
No Bruce…you got the wrong end of the stick on this. The GOVERNMENT had until JAN 1 to RESCIND this nonsense or be in violation of Constitution. Now, they are the outlaws.
Screw you
Remember . assault weapons are NOT home defence ! You shoot at a “Bad Guy” & hit around my family or house , You become the “bad Guy”. Then I fear for the safty of my family
Bruce you are almost right there. A semi automatic, scary looking rifle is not optimal for home defense, but it will suffice. A 12 gauge Shotgun, semi automatic, magazine fed, would be ideal, for home defense, The semi automatic scary looking (to you people) rifle is for defending against encroaching liberal know it alls.
ANYTHING a person uses to assault another person IS by definition (at least in Websters Dictionary) an ASSAULT WEAPON….I could assault you with a frying pan or a rolling pin. Your post demonstrates how emotionally and psychologically DUMBED down so many in this country truly are were the underlying emotions stimulate by the words i.e. Assault Weapon are akin to the slobbering one of Pavlov’s dogs learned to do whenever they heard the dinner bell.
And I hunt you .
Lol…with what?
