Got this email today, pretty crazy:

It is unusual for a PR firm to send out a notice like this but then again we are a strong supporter of the Constitution and Bill of Rights (what's left of them).

Connecticut voters have put into state office liberal politicians--they did it to themselves much like other states including like our state of Colorado has.

You have heard of Connecticut's new 2013 law stating that "Assault Weapons" (their term) had to be registered along with many different types and calibers of "high capacity magazines" magazines by January 1, 2014 or they would be illegal.

[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
Recently some 200+ gun owners who did NOT meet this deadline contacted the state to attempt to late register. They received a letter from the State stating in more detail but using these words the gun owner's options:
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
1) Render the weapon/magazines inoperable
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
2) Sell the weapon/magazines to a licensed dealer
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
3) Remove the assault weapon/magazines from the state
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
4) Make arrangements to relinquish the weapon/magazines to a police department
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]

[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
There are no other options. The requests are now in police files and not to comply could at an undisclosed time cause a search to be conducted, confiscation and arrests made at the gun owners residence. There is no provision in the letter from the State as to how the AR or magazine(s) owner is to prove to the state should the friendly SWAT team show up at their residence they complied with the letter to prove item (3) for example.

[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
These now self-confessed felon gun owners (by their own words thanks to their requests to the State on how to late register their arms and magazines) do not know how much time they have or anything else--but the State police do.

If people continue to think that elections are not that important...

This is outright Bull pucky. As a LEO I would not go and search, seize and arrest these owners. This article is exactly right in the fact that we all need to be more informed and educated on who we cast our vote for.

The other Sad thing is that you never know who these folks are in bed with, who is supporting who and who is scracthing someones back to get their's scratched. We need to be educated on teh facts as we go to the polls to cast our vote's.
