Molon Labe: Connecticut Gun Group Issues Ultimatum To Government

Either enforce gun ban or repeal law

After gun owners in Connecticut revolted against a gun control law by refusing to register their assault rifles and high capacity magazines, one Second Amendment group is calling on the government to either enforce gun confiscation or repeal the law in full.

Following the Sandy Hook shooting in December 2012, Connecticut passed a law which banned ammunition magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds. Residents who had acquired such magazines before the law came into effect were mandated to register them with state police by January 1, 2014. The law also banned assault rifles manufactured after 1994, requiring them to be declared to authorities.

Weeks after the deadline expired, authorities revealed that just 50,016 assault weapons and 38,290 ammunition magazines had been registered, meaning that some 320,000 assault rifles and around 2.4 million high capacity magazines were not declared.

Now the Second Amendment organization Connecticut Carry is calling on authorities to “enforce the tyranny they passed or repeal it entirely.”

Wow 320,000 rifles. If each person involved had two of these guns that's 160,000 people. Is the state going to put all of these people in jail? Sounds like a Stalinist wet dream. This situation is going to be a bellwether for the rest of the nation.

From the article - "When the woman reminded Vance that he was a public servant, he churlishly shot back, “I’m the master, Ma’am, I’m the master.”

I'm usually on the side of law-enforcement. However, if this is an accurate quote, this filthy bastard needs to lose his job.
