Americans declare, 'I'm prepared to go to jail'
Tens of thousands of Connecticut residents are refusing to register their firearms in defiance of new gun-control laws.
In December 2012, the nation was horrified by the merciless killings of a classroom of young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. In response, the Democratic state legislature approved sweeping new gun-control laws, and Gov. Dan Malloy signed them into law. Several other states followed suit, including New York, Maryland and Colorado.
In addition to banning new sales of many types of firearms and larger capacity magazines that were previously legal, the state is also requiring residents who legally purchased those weapons and magazines to register them with the state.
For many Connecticut residents, that is a bridge too far, and they are refusing to comply with the law. Gun-rights groups are standing with them.

So glad to hear of this! I've even heard of citizen groups challenging legislators to come try to take them. Hey, they own the law, now come to my house and try enforcing it! Good luck with that. There's not enough jails, and there will be bloodshed if this is attempted.
