Looks like we have the first arrest in Connecticut from their hastily-passed, 2nd Amendment-violating gun control law.
Police arrested 65-year-old James Toigo in Milford, Conn., after he shot a squirrel in his yard on Monday.
Officers discovered and confiscated an unregistered “assault rifle” and three “large-capacity magazines.” Cops also seized several other guns that were not used in a crime and were completely legal.
So it begins!

Now James Toigo faces a plethora of gun-related charges, including unlawful discharge of a firearm, cruelty to an animal, first-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree breach of peace, failure to register an assault rifle and three counts of possessing large-capacity magazines.
Under Connecticut’s hastily-passed gun control law, gun owners are required to register their so-called “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines with the state or face a class D felony. Many have argued the law is unconstitutional because gun owners who previously purchased firearms and magazines legally can be retroactively turned into criminals.
Police officers reportedly heard a gunshot nearby while they were directing traffic in the area. Authorities reportedly determined that Toigo shot the squirrel.
The firearm used to shoot the squirrel was not the semi-automatic rifle that police later confiscated. Officers also seized “several” other guns, even though they were not used in a crime and were legal.
“As the investigation progressed the officers seized several firearms from the home for safe keeping,” Officer Jeffrey Nielsen said in a press release. “That included the assault riffle and the three high capacity magazine he did not have registered.”
To reiterate, police confiscated “several” of the man’s other firearms, even though Nielsen admitted the majority of them were registered and legal.
Toigo will not get his guns back until his case is heard. Depending on the outcome of the case, he will then have to petition the police department to get his firearms back.
Toigo is scheduled to appear in court on May 13, the New Haven Register reports.
He will never get his guns back , he will be sent to one of fema’s “re-education camps and never be heard from again . I think it’s too late to impeach him or even censure him , if anyone does , they will disappear too .

It’s a shame they have to pick on the old. Unless they had a warrant, they had no right to take all his weapons. I’ve never heard of anyone being arrested for shooting a squirrel in his own yard. Maybe issued a ticket and a fine but not arrested! Cops and government are out of control!
