Connecticut Gun Owners Wait in Line to Register Their Weapons and "Hi-Cap" Mags

Connecticut residents waited in long lines on Thursday to register their firearms and high-capacity magazines before the state’s new gun laws go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.

WFSB-TV reports that a “long-line of people” stood outside the Public Safety Building in Middletown, Conn., all day to register semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. Several residents were upset with the “unconstitutional” requirement, while at least one person didn’t appear to mind.

“I understand why they’re doing it, but I don’t think it’s constitutional,” resident Scott Boccio told WFSB-TV as he was registering his guns.

Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines, told the news station that he would have a problem with it if the state was trying to ban the magazines or firearms, but said “if they want to just know where they are, that’s fine with me.”

However, not one gun owner who was registering firearms or magazines said they think the new laws will reduce gun violence.

“If people are going to do things illegally, they’re not going to be here registering their gun,” Jared Krajewski, another resident registering firearms, said.

For now, in Connecticut, the law is the law. The new gun control measures were put into place following the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn.

State police Lt. Paul Vance said that gun owners must fill our forms completely and some may require a notary.

"The police confiscated lots of guns at the beginning of the war. But most of them we hid. Now I have one legal gun that I have a license for. Under the law, that’s called a temporary collection. If there is unrest, the government will seize all the registered guns. Never forget that."

May as well have taken all their guns, ammo, ammo and even the guns cleaning kits and given it to them.....how freaking stupid can you be.......do they think that the "law" will go around checking to see what is what WTSHTF?. All that they are doing is making it easier for the power to be to confiscate all that they have.

It was never ment to reduce voilence

It was ment to reduce ressitence.


When you "register" the tools of freedom you make the oppressors task that much easier.

Registration, the very first step leading to confiscation.

And FWIW, *anytime* one 'registers' some piece of property with the state then the state's actors are the final arbiters regarding 'ownership' of the property which has been 'registered'. Whenever one hears the term 'register' with respect to 'doing business with the state (a legal fiction)' loud alarms should be going off in one's head.

Just hide guns...simple.

better yet...construct a barrel lathe...

All the parts on a gun/rifle can be made with simple tools by simpletons...except the barrel...that requires high technology...

There was a flood at my location...a small town just outside the city was wiped out...the Royal Canadian mounted police...used the gun registry to go into the town and kick in the doors...claiming to be looking for people...but they took 1000's of guns.

I would get rid of all ties you have to any lists.

They will just snipe you...they can import kids trained up on first person shooter video games from a location in the USA that is hostile to your location...to plink you like gophers.
