CT already looking to grant amnesty to get more registrations.

[Prometheus]

It appears CT legislators are panicking over what may be massive civil disobedience by those who own so called "assault weapons" and "high capacity magazines".

Interesting... It's possible the would-be tyrants in CT bit off more than they could chew on this one. The usual technique is to isolate a small enough group and make them out to be a fringe element. Then they just keep chipping away at the edges until the target group is small enough they can deal with the disobedient individually. But there must be millions of "assault weapons" and magazines in the state of CT. In their emotionally-charged feeding frenzy they went too far and targeted the "mainstream". Oops!

**** 'em. Here's hoping the electorate cleans house.

Ok, is it just me, or do those numbers looked screwed up?

More guns than mags? I don't know about you guys but I have say 25, 30 magazines per platform (AK, G3, FAL, M14, AR, etc).

Are those dealers registering guns for sale later?

50,000 ‘assault weapons’ and less than 40,000 people registered magazines.

The way I read that is 50,000 weapons from X number of people and Y number of magazines from 40,000 people. I'm guessing 40,000 people registered their "assault weapons", some of which had more than one. While we don't know how many magazines each person registered.

The reports say about 50,000 weapons. They also say that 40,000 people registered magazines.

I wonder how many magazines.

In any case, I'd think a lot more than 40,000 people had 'high capacity' magazines in the state. Likewise 50,000 weapons seems very low as well for an entire state.

I wish I did not find it so easy to believe that that many people registered all of these things. But I am sure if they did this in any other state people would line up just the same.

There are probably more than 50,000 "assault weapons" in the hands of INGOers alone.

You're just one of them extremists

You obviously didn't attend the 1st annual INGO Boat 'n Shoot a couple years back. We don't like to talk about it much, but you'll see references to the boating accident all over. I still blame Printcraft for that..

Were 10/22's with large 'clips' part of their math. If yes...then I would agree.

You wouldn't be suggesting paper guns, would you, Kirk?

That's never happened before, right?

Ah, the follies of Man.

Well, it looks like most of the people of Connecticut remember that the state calls itself "The Constitution State" and believe it. Going to be interesting to see what happens after they don't get any more registrations. Then what will their sick governor say?

Can you imagine the backlash IF they started coming for guns? Confiscations would be scary. The outrage from around the country would be deafening.

Even for a pro-gun website, statistics are easy to screw up, even when they're actually trying to get it right. But even if they didn't get the numbers exactly right, they would appear to be right about this part:

It would seem massive civil disobedience is alive and well in the North East and the politicians know it and are quaking in their jack boots over it.

Wonder if the governor registered his 30 rd magazine?

I propose an amnesty for Connecticut officials: resign before Valentine's Day, 2014, or be removed from office.

Think they'll accept?

I find it about eight different kinds of funny that CT enacted this big, bada** law "to save the children" and all, and hardly anyone's playing along. Is this what they call civil disobedience?

I think it's what they call 'not playing ball'.
