Could history actually be repeating itself? Remember the Revolutionary War started in the New England area, which was sparked by civil disobedience; the Boston Tea party in 1773, and the Battle of Lexington and Concord being fought near Massachusetts Bay in 1775.



Now February of 2014, the State of Connecticut is seeing many acts of civil disobedience, and its over weapons.

From The Blaze:

Anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 gun owners in Connecticut became Class D felons overnight after failing to register their semi-automatic rifles with the state of Connecticut as required by a hastily passed gun control law last year. The deadline for registration was January 1, 2014, and it is now believed tens of thousands of gun owners chose not to register as an act of defiance.

This is in Connecticut, deep in liberal country, and many of these gun owners are liberal. This news is not to scare anyone, to put panic into the Tea Party, us the conservatives. The liberals in that state have made a bad mistake; proud arrogant people usually do.

American Patriots; the Connecticut lawmakers may have actually done the Tea Party a favor, accidentally shown us their hand, and may have inadvertently revealed Obama's hand as well. Let us find away with cool heads to discover how we can take advantage of this serious liberal blunder, to really aid us in taking back our nation.

Remember we do not advocate any violence here, that puts us on the same level as the liberals; and we do not advocate pacifism either; we still advocate using the tools and resources listed below until we have no other choice. Lets allow the other loon libs to make more serious errors, allow them to help us by defeating themselves, as the British did in 1775.

THOUSANDS OF CONNECTICUT GUN OWNERS 'FLOUT' NEW REGISTRATION LAW



by AWR HAWKINS 14 Feb 2014 374 POST A COMMENT

The December 31 deadline for complying with Connecticut's new "assault weapons" registration requirement is long past, but estimates show "as little as 15 percent of the rifles classified as assault weapons owned by Connecticut residents were registered."

The Courant reports that this means thousands of Connecticut gun owners were committing Class D felonies on January 1. Estimates for the number of owners of "assault weapons" in this position range between 20,000 and 100,000.
State Senator Tony Guglielmo (R-Stafford) responded to the dearth of registrations: "I honestly thought from my own standpoint that the vast majority would register." He then added, "If you pass laws that people have no respect for and they don't follow them, then you have a real problem."
There is no clear indicator for how many ignored registration out of civil disobedience versus how many simply failed to register out of ignorance of the new law's requirements.
Either way, Mike Lawlor of Connecticut's Office of Policy and Management says the law has not failed. Rather, because all the unregistered guns are "now illegal," they are out of circulation, and "the goal [was] to have fewer of these types of weapons in circulation."

Connecticut’s Largest Paper Upset That Connecticut Gun Owners Are Ignoring Law

February 19, 2014 by Bob Livingston

As we told you Monday, Connecticut gun owners are ignoring that State’s unConstitutional gun law requiring the owners of “military-style” rifles to register their firearms with the State police and receive an “assault weapons” certificate in order to legally own the weapons.
The law called for the registration to be completed by Jan. 1. But as of last week, only about 50,000 applications for the certificate had been filed, meaning as many as 350,000 Connecticut gun owners have decided to become felons under State law rather than register their weapons.
This civil disobedience has not sat well with the State’s lawmakers or elite, though they’re not sure what to do about it. Now the State’s largest newspaper, The Hartford Courant, is pressing the Governor to enforce the law.
In an editorial last week, the paper called for the use of the background check database as a way to find weapons purchasers who had not registered their firearms.

Although willful noncompliance with the law is doubtless a major issue, it’s possible that many gun owners are unaware of their obligation to register military-style assault weapons and would do so if given another chance.
But the bottom line is that the state must try to enforce the law. Authorities should use the background check database as a way to find assault weapon purchasers who might not have registered those guns in compliance with the new law.

Using the background check database to go after weapons owners would be unlawful. But such is the nature of statists who believe the government can use, misuse or ignore laws on a whim if the cause is good for the state.
Gun owners and 2^nd Amendment preservationists have long said that background checks and registries are precursors to confiscation. Such claims have been met with protest and derision by the gun grabbers, hoplophobes and those who seek to erase the 2^nd Amendment from our consciousness.
But gun confiscation using registry databases is no fantasy. It’s already begun in New York based on the number of rounds a gun holds and on medical reports. Last year, a bill was introduced in the Washington State Legislature that would have called for home weapons inspections by the county sheriffs, and California allocated $24 million to aid the State’s Department of Justice in gun-confiscation efforts.
Back to the Connecticut issue. It’s doubtless that a <acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym> campaign — as called for by the newspaper — to reinforce the State’s gun registry and threats of prosecution will cause some of the State’s recalcitrant gun owners to reconsider and register their firearms. It’s also doubtless that many gun owners will simply continue to refuse to comply.
The big question then becomes: What happens next? Will the State begin to forcefully confiscate weapons? And if so, will gun owners resist?
It seems the Courant wants to see this conflict come to a head. If that’s the case, as The Truth About Guns writes:

Is that a threat to end civil disobedience by force of arms from the oldest continuously-published newspaper in the United States, the The (sic) Constitution State’s largest dead tree daily rag? Yes. (Although you may not be surprised to hear that the the Times Mirror (the Los Angeles Times‘ parent company) bought the Courant in 1979.) And if the Courant is talking war you can bet Governor Malloy’s boys are doing the same.
The statists who enacted this law better let sleeping dogs lie. Or they will have to face the consequences, too. That’s not a threat. It’s a prediction.

If called on to enforce the law, Connecticut’s law enforcement apparatus had better be mindful of the 3 percent.

Yet the United States government made the native Americans turn theirs in and tried to Exterminate them on so- called reservations!!!

SOME Americans do say that , , , BUT NOT REAL AMERICANS!

An Armed Man Is a Citizen! An Unarmed Man Is A Subject!

Actually this is correct. Some Americans say "turn in guns" but they really don't own any. They just want you to give up your guns....
