Want to take bets on how this works out? Connecticut firearm confiscation

Never in my wildest nightmares growing up would I have thought this could ever happen here.

Connecticut state police appear ready to confiscate firearms made illegal.

The three per-centers group has already issued a public notice to the police up there that if door to door gun confiscations start up, they will head on up and help the residents fight back.

Man, I do believe a shitstorm is in the making. And it's not going to be good in any way

If will not happen. At least 80% of Connecticut gun owners did NOT register their "banned" rifles.

There are at least 3 million similar minded folk throughout the country. There are not enough traitors in law enforcement to take us down all at once.

There will be many tears on behalf of those who try.

They'll do it one at a time until someone decides to help from the six. Then all hell will brake lose.

I've heard it said many times that our citizens do not have the courage to stand up to abuses of government action. We saw people in Boston submitting to armed entry in their homes without warrants. That concerns me but that was Boston, a Liberal haven ruled by Liberal government.

This gun grab is different. Liberal politicians scurried around without citizen input and made something illegal that had been legal before. Passing these laws required ignoring all open meeting acts and skiping required citizen involvement. Now, the rulers want to confiscate the personal property of citizens and will come to each home to do that.

This a very different situation! A huge percentage of their citizens have ignored the laws and raised their middle fingers to the rulers. Citizens know that their rulers have records to show who purchased these items yet they still resisted. This conflict will not end with happy smiles!

I know what I will do. Have you thought this through for yourself? PLEASE don't post your plans in the open forum!

Exactly... Even though the confiscators are few in number gun owners are easy targets. One or even two people trying to defend a house from an entry team will eventually loose, or they'll break into the home when the gun owner isn't there to get their "evidence" and arrest the person at work or some other place where they can't dig in and fight back. The situation would really change if neighbors saw their fellow gun owners being hauled away and decided to intervene.

I predict very few standoffs and quite a few political assassinations if they start going door to door.

 

[Vaquero]

No winners.
Everyone loses in these situations.

The non compliance folks have already accepted their"outlaw" status. It could escelate very rapidly.
Whatever comes of it will be watched very closely by both sides across the country.

its easy to say "ill fight to the death over this" but really look hard at what you said. if they came to your place, would you be able to kiss your wife and kids good bye forever? even if your wife and kids agree with you, you think they would easily go? would your family look at your death as honorable after getting into a shoot out with police, many of which probably would take your side, but cant give up their job? i highly suspect that this "LT" is a minority in his Dept and that a very few group of Troopers up there would follow his lead. Its going to get very ugly for everyone up there: citizens, police, and everyone's family involved.

There are a lot of people who don't have that baggage to deal with. If I were a tyrant I'd especially worry about guys getting home from the desert only to find a different enemy won while they were away...

Just because you won't fight back, don't try and tell the rest of us what we won't do. First news report I get of a citizen being dragged out of his or her house, so the government can perform an illegal confiscation I'm outta here. easy 2 day drive and you're at the front lines. A lot of out of staters answered the call when Travis and Houston called. I'm willing to reciprocate.
