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.
I would not relinquish any weapons. They are in violation of the 2nd Ammendment and they know this. I would give my life standing for the U.S. 2nd Ammendment. Period.
We may soon get to see whether the Constitution is worth anything at all. We may get to see how many cops are Traitors deserving nothing more than a bullet in the spine or the end of a rope. Conversely, we may learn with pride how many Patriot Cops we have, who will refuse to execute illegal laws, and possibly kill the superiors demanding that. We may get to see whether Americans are willing to kill and to die for our Constitution, or whether they will go quietly into slavery like sheep, unworthy of the Liberties their elders and betters died to give them.
The very existence of the United States as a Constitutional Republic is at stake, and may be decided in the next dozen years. These are perilous times.
Lock and Load people; the Government is now trying to make us victims like ISIS isn’t bad enough now we have to watch our own. I repeat, Lock and Load.
The police dept impounded my vehicle, and there is no way I can afford the tow bill, storage, fines, etc …so I just lost my only form of transportation. To beat it all, I’m single, disabled, with no family, and no means to do anything for myself now.. Why you ask did they “steal” my vehicle, my registration was past being renewed. A little $30 sticker cost me my vehicle, my freedom, my sanity, my means to support myself, my everything! Is there anybody out there that can help me? What can I do about it? Thanks!
Compensating for the price and cost of their items or just stealing them away?
LOCK & LOAD You can have it, but there are a bunch of them, and you can’t have them till they are empty, and there isn’t but one way the bulletts come out

the supreme court says we have e right to keep and bare arms,so tell conn to buzz off
Necessary next step will be to get some one in authority to charge someone who is not in compliance and then a class action response can be mounted. At least I think so. I am not a lawyer and I don’t watch those court TV shows so I could be wrong.
State law can’t go over the constitution, and officers have sworn tho okay by the constitution, it would infringe the 2nd amendment making a bogart law.
