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.
The people will be very sorry for this law.
the government is disgusting.

where do we sign up for the revelution that is being forced on us
Obama and our Media. lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, and more lies since 2008.
Americans Died, Hillary Clinton and Obama lied.
Obama and Holder gave weapons to the Drug Cartels with Fast and Furious, and lied about it.
Obama should have been fired the first time he wrote an Executive Order that changed our Laws.
Obama should have been fired for the invasion of Libya.
All of the world knows our Drone Attacks and our Covert War on Terror in Africa and the Middle East are wrong and our Administration is committing War Crimes by murdering innocent civiians.
Our current Administration, our current Senate, our current House, and the people in our corrupt Federal Agencies and the monsters of our Justice Department want robot cops in our streets and Drones in our skies committing the same carnage and destruction inside the United States.
No Incumbents.
They have not fired Eric Holder, Joe Biden, and Barrack Obama.
Eric Holder and Barrack Obama should have been fired for their lies and the abuse of their Office after the Zimmerman verdict and their Harassment and Intimidation of Zimmerman.
Eric Holder and Barrack Obama should have been fired for their lies and the abuse of their Office after a white guy committed the Knock Out Game for trying to have our Justice Department charge him with a Hate Crime, the Knock Out Game is Terrorism each time it is committed no matter what race the Terrorist is, lock them away.
Our current Administration gave weapons and money to Iran and Egypt.
End our stupid War on Terror.
Shut down the Bureau of Land Management and the IRS.
Repeal Obamacare.
Repeal the NDAA.
Repeal the Cyber Security Bill.
End the Sanctions against Russia. The violence was funded inside the United States.
Shut down the IRS.
Shut down the Bureau of Land Management.
Shut down the NSA, EPA, CIA, and Homeland Security or take away their weapons and any power they have other than investigation, they can turn their information they gather over to State Authorites, the FBI, or the Department of Justice, they have become too corrupt to function in their current capacity.
Our government is not more important than the people of our country.
No Incumbents.
They have not fired Eric Holder and Barrack Obama.
In the United States we should have the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom of Religion, and the Right to own a gun.
Joe Biden, Bloomberg, Eric Holder, and Barrack Obama love Gun Control and War more than Adolf Hitler did.
End our stupid War on Terror.
Quit trying to start a war with China and Russia.
If NATO or the Untied States had any respect for human life they would shut down their military operations near the Ukraine and end their stupid War on Terror, today.
The National Endowment for Democracy does the work of our State Department and our CIA, they funded the violence in the Ukraine, with the blessing of the Obama Administration so NATO and the United States could work at starting World War III.
That was the same reason the CIA and Obama were supporting the Terrorists in Syria and the same reason the NSA, CIA, and Obama wanted us to bomb Syria.
Vote each of our Senators and Representatives out.
They gave us our War on Terror and since 2008 they have gave us each of the horrible things Eric Holder, Joe Biden, and Barrack Obama has wanted.
