Connecticut Officer Reportedly Placed on Leave Over This Facebook Comment to Gun Owner



 A Connecticut officer with the Branford Police Department has reportedly been placed on extended leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation after he allegedly told a Facebook user he couldn’t wait to “bang down your door and come for your gun.”

Connecticut resident John Cinque, whose passionate remarks to lawmakers on the state’s new gun registration laws went viral, provided screenshots of a Facebook conversation involving Officer Joseph Peterson to the conservative blog Freedom Outpost. The officer is reportedly a “long-time friend” of Cinque’s.

The heated debate reportedly began over Connecticut’s new gun control law that technically turned gun owners who refuse to register their semi-automatic rifles and/or high-capacity magazines into felons overnight.

Good job on the part of the supervision. This ignorant gestapo thinking needs to be curbed at every turn.

the cops TALK a lot of smack about "kicking in doors", but which one of them wants to be the first through the door to confiscate the rifle of a pissed off (and now a FELON, too!!) citizen who never committed a crime until his "leaders' LEGISLATED him into being one??
you can hear them now, "Naw, YOU go ahead, Bill, I was first in on the last one --- you remember, the lady with the unpaid parking ticket?" YOUR turn this time.....
