Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Connecticut sends out the first confiscation letters.

Yes Sir, it will be a day I rejoice.

It's name is butch and it's not just a pistol It straps on.

Here's the liberal discussion on the issue. I think I even read on there that bloomberg is right wing.

I know that there's a DPS-3.. I was referring to the incorrect info in the earlier posts that referred to a form '4472'.. That, is why I corrected it to the proper form 4473..

Clearly, you did not comprehend my earlier post.. I must have stated it clumsily..

Exactly.

Sorry Redneck I thought you were referring to the post about the DPS-3. My mistake.

I did a little searching for social media groups that support gun rigbts in Connecticut and found a site on Facebook called -

Gun Control=More Crime Connecticut

Wouldn't hurt a bit for those of us who use FB to show them a little support. There're also more articles on this topic posted there.

Coming to a state near you: IT'S A GOOD DAY TO DIE!!!

Theres a WHOLE LOT of non-violent ways to practice civil disobedience before we get to the high octane stuff. Some options:
1. Don't comply with the registration- I personally don't think they have the manpower or inclination to follow up on it.
2. Those guns and mags that fall under their scrutiny should be transferred out of state to relatives etc, or get reported as stolen before the enactment date.
3. Sell the suspect guns and use the money for something equally useful i.e. a nice long range rifle set-up
4. If you got 'em, and are hiding them, then don't unhide them by shooting in your backyard range with your AR etc. Wait for it to blow over or blow up.


Just a thunk.


For those of you who expressed the need to maintain family ties in Conn, I appreciate that, but if it gets to the level of confiscation, make no mistake, your family is in danger. Action in the form of relocation etc. must be taken.

Connecticut citizens do not have a history of running away from oppressive governments.

People need to communicate, organize, and exhibit a unified show of force. Rebelling individuals have no chance.

There are plenty of agency folks around that will have no qualms about seizing arms.

If I remember right, that is exactly what happened at Ruby Ridge when more than a hundred people came to support Randy Weaver and his family. Nobody did anything while the law shot his son and wife. But they were there.

'How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: what would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if during periods of mass arrests people had simply not sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. ... The Organs [police] would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers ... and notwithstanding all of Stalin�s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt.' - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Now is the time to reread Solzhenitsyn, this time as survival manuals.

I think they got there after that happened. I believe Weaver credited Bo Gritz, the most decorated Special Forces soldier in Vietnam IIRC, with saving his life. I think that Wyoming attorney who eventually defended Randy was there too. It ended badly but could have been worse.

Gerry Spence.

'Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know that government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last, has become the people's master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed -- first the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged to the wolf.' - Gerry Spence

Bingo.

This is a damned good thread and a needful one.

Thanks.

Everything old is new, again, it seems.

Maybe if we learn to see the patterns a bit earlier we can keep them from repeating their last century of democide of many millions in this new century.
