In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Connecticut politicians ordered the registration of semi-automatic firearms and magazines. The deadline for registration is long gone and now all eyes are on CT. They PROUDLY passed one of the most anal-retentive gun laws in America and now have to enforce it. As CT residents have had gun control for years, their names are already on registration lists, the police know where to go to confiscate the aforementioned items and arrest the owners. But there are two little problems to Connecticut's wet-dream gun-free Utopia.
There are up to 150,000 gun owners who refused to comply.
They are VERY aware of what's going on, and significantly outnumber the cops.
Governor Dannel Malloy is thinking...Two Words
He can't back off..he HAS to go through with it because he cannot allow civil disobedience to go unchallenged. The mindset of the government is made abundantly clear in this article. Examiner.com
Do the cops worry about the legality? The morality? Here's one answer:
Lt. Vance's response
Barring some legislative moment of epiphany and a total repeal of this law, there will be gun-grabbing in Connecticut. There will be bloodshed.
I'm pretty sure Governor Malloy is now thinking, "Numbers don't matter. My cops can do this. They're professionals."
Here's a few thoughts.
I'll word this next bit as if speaking to Governor Malloy.
Governor, your State Police may be professional, but don't forget the British Army on April 15, 1775 were professionals too. Bunch of half-trained militia sent them back to Boston. There are roughly 1,200 state police in CT. There are (depending on the source) anywhere from 30,000 to 150,000 gun owners who refused to register.
Do the math.
Thinking about calling out the National Guard to even the odds and bring firepower to the fight? DON'T.
How many of those gun owners are in the National Guard? Figure out how many will show up, draw their weapon and disappear.
Perhaps you think you'll call up Barack and say, "Hey, I need some gun-grabbers to disarm my citizens."
Barack Obama is an asshole. Never doubt for a second he is a smart asshole. He knows the second he sends anyone to help disarm citizens in CT, the Democrats will lose even more in the mid-terms. Such an action would polarize and energize the GOP base like you've never seen before. Barack won't do anything that will jeopardize his neck--he knows if the DNC loses enough seats in the Senate, he'll be impeached and removed from office and given plenty of time to be "Bubba's Roommate" in Cellblock 13.
I'm sure there are MANY factors you haven't taken into account. Allow me to acquaint you with a few.
First, did it ever occur to you that a fair percentage of your police WILL NOT enforce this law because it is un-Constitutional and or immoral? They signed up to protect and serve their communities and state, to enforce moral AND Constitutionally-sound laws, not act as stormtroopers.
Second, do you REALLY believe the gun owners are going to allow themselves to be taken down one at a time? You will get some in the first days. After your initial success, remember many have military training and combat experience. They will remember and apply that training to defend their freedoms. They will not be passive. They will go on the hunt. They will not be constrained by "rules of engagement." They will selectively apply the lessons taught to them by America's enemies such as the Viet Cong and the insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq. Expect IEDs, ambushed SWAT teams, executions of politicians, anti-gun journalists, bureaucrats and cops.
My suggestion to you is to repeal that law before the first shot is fired. This is a fight you will not win.
The rest of the nation is NOT behind you.
The citizens you made felony criminals and now seek to disarm have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
