Canadians revolted against their gun registry as well. It took 17 years, but they repealed their long gun registry.
Laws are more than just symbolic gestures. Connecticut's General Assembly must come to grips with this truth before its recent effort to “save lives” ends up destroying them.
State
law enforcement officials are now in the difficult position of dealing
with one of the most widely flouted laws since the end of the 55
miles-per-hour speed limit and Prohibition. If it’s really serious, the
state will have to find space to imprison 300,000 residents for the next
five years.
The first article of the Connecticut Constitution
couldn’t be more clear. “Every citizen has a right to bear arms in
defense of himself and the state,” it says.
Busybodies at the
Capitol in Hartford decided that “every” doesn’t really mean every, and
it banned the semi-automatic rifles that would be most useful in defense
of the state. As of Jan. 1, owners of arms that have a menacing
appearance had to submit registration paperwork to the state.
Only
about 50,000 did so. There’s no way to know how many “assault rifles”
remain unregistered, but the best guess is that the new “gun safety” law
instantly created 300,000 felons.
