Re: Majority want gun registry in some states
Looks like they are just going to pretend it didn’t happen, not enforce it, and eventually people will forget all about the law. This is one of the very few ways the politicians can “save face” and get out of the mess they got themselves into.

Re: Majority want gun registry in some states
A lot of people in Connecticut have shown what they are made of and had the courage to disobey the law. We are losing our rights at an ever increasing rate and civil disobedience and non cooperation may be the best tool we have.
I have seen it stated so many times “it’s not about guns, it’s about control. This seems to be holding true in so much of society. There are states that are banning “electronic” cigarettes even though there is no smoke. It is a vapor. It is no longer about cigarettes, it is about control.
Doctor’s are now free to ask if you have guns at home and note it in your record. I have said before everyone should just say no and be sure Fox and Drudge get the story that gun owners are not going to play the game. Doctors themselves would see the uselessness and stop asking on their own.
Every chance we get, we should take advantage of the opportunity to legally throw a wrench in the works.
Be creative, start a rumor that will make the gun grabbers crazy and show what idiots they are.

Re: Majority want gun registry in some states
I believe some people would resist arrest. Probably less than 5% with unregistered guns and maybe 1% would resort to violence in resisting.VoiceofReason wrote:The Connecticut gun control law is titled “An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety”. Makes me feel like upchucking. Don’t they know how stupid they sound tacking “Children's Safety” on every attempt they make to take away legally owned guns?
Some media fools advocate rounding up those that did not register their guns. “State Can't Let Gun Scofflaws Off Hook” “Gun Registration: Break the law, pay the price” (Hartford Courant http://articles.courant.com/2014-02-14/ ... lt-weapons" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
What if those that would not register their guns decide not to be “rounded up”? Another article, good read (http://www.examiner.com/article/courant ... -for-state" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), what do you think?
My questions to forum members for the sake of discussion would be:
a. Do you believe the state authorities would actually try to “round up” those that defy the registration law?
b. Do you think the state has any way out of this situation without admitting they made a law they can’t enforce?
c. Do you believe some of those gun owners would resist being “rounded up” and if so how many and to what extent do you believe they would resist being “rounded up”?
Let’s try to be realistic but honest in our appraisal of the situation.
I had hoped to get a discussion started on this topic but it appears folks are hesitant to express their opinion possibly because they don’t want to attract the attention of those servers that scan the web.
I also didn’t want to post my opinion first because I didn’t want it to influence that of others.
I will give it a try.
I don’t believe they would. They are in a very uncomfortable position as it is and I don’t think they want it to blow up into something that would make the world news.a. Do you believe the state authorities would actually try to “round up” those that defy the registration law?
I think the best thing they could do would be to say loudly and often that “people did not have enough notice, information, etc. and repeal the law in order to “study” the situation and “give people an opportunity for input” then “study” it to death until it is forgotten.b. Do you think the state has any way out of this situation without admitting they made a law they can’t enforce?
c. Do you believe some of those gun owners would resist being “rounded up” and if so how many and to what extent do you believe they would resist being “rounded up”?
I may be proven wrong (that happens quite often) but I can imagine a bunch of politicians walking the floor, trying to figure out how to get out of this mess without making it worse while “saving face”.
One good thing may come of this. Some other states may think twice about ramming through gun control laws without giving the people the chance for input.

Re: Majority want gun registry in some states
The Connecticut gun control law is titled “An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety”. Makes me feel like upchucking. Don’t they know how stupid they sound tacking “Children's Safety” on every attempt they make to take away legally owned guns?
Some media fools advocate rounding up those that did not register their guns. “State Can't Let Gun Scofflaws Off Hook” “Gun Registration: Break the law, pay the price” (Hartford Courant http://articles.courant.com/2014-02-14/ ... lt-weapons" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).

I hope this is true. Would someone please fact check this? I have to get off the computer now.
Unfortunately, it's satire.
