No. It's a matter of common sense. A central authority that can legally use force to get what it wants has no business knowing what weapons I own and where I keep such weapons. Think about it.

Do you care if you register your car?

The right of the people, doesn't mean, only when the government says so.
It's a State issue, and if I am not mistaken the SC has ruled the States have some rights to create their own laws regarding gun regulation.

President IKE had the right idea. A slow boat to South Mexico & Central America.
So, they never come back if they are deported by boat? How do you figure?

Is no one else alarmed that this registration resistance is getting zero media coverage? It's totally blacked out. Creepy.

It means very little, the only thing surprising is people that don't even live in CT talking about hiding their guns in walls or a fight to the death. This is a very minor regulation, some states already have registration but there is a general paranoia with any regulation.

It's local news, and of course the 100K number is not supported with any statistics.

I strongly disagree, it means a lot that civil disobedience is beginning over unconstitutional gun laws.

You guy's are dreaming. They are trained to know how to take out a rabid gunman in his home, bunker or whatever. They isolate, surround, throw in the tear gas, flash bang and oops! the house caught fire from the flash bang. Too bad.........shoot em as they run out the door.

I remember a thread a month or so ago about California rounding up guns from people who were not allowed to possess them due to various court rulings. 2nd. Amendment fanatics were up in arms about that, even though their mantra was all about "Enforcing the laws already on the books" instead of creating new ones.
Not one report of people getting in a life and death confrontation over confiscation of their guns. No shoot outs, no dead cops, Not then, not now.

Easy peasy.

There aren't 5/100 Americans who would choose to die over an issue like this. Maybe 5 in 100 million.
