Our founders did it in relation to the boston massacre. More propaganda in that instance than the gulf of Tonkin. But the cause was right. That's what's important

Everyday I wander whats united about the United States anymore.
Gun laws that vary greatly from state to state.
A president that only reflects the interest of its own entity.
There is NOT one thing I can think of thats united about our states anymore,
A Increasing Militarized police state.
Talks of a degrading infrastructure is everywhere if your not watching the tabloid news channels.
These kinds of actions dont suprise me one bit.
Anymore.
What say the local police men here, would you participate in an unconstitutional act like this?
Looks like some of those folks in CT are ready to do it.

I'm not a cop, but if my employer wanted me to do something I found personally distasteful (at least) all the way up to offensive I would probably do it. At least initially. I have kids to feed and bills to pay, I've grown accustomed to living indoors with hot and cold running water. Now if it really bothered me I'd continue to do it while looking for a new job.
I've told my employer "I won't do it" over much less, and I still have a job. Want to be spineless, then call in sick. I once told a boss they needed to start making travel arrangements to go in my place to a meeting out of state if he wanted to convey a certain message. management realized they were out of line and I went and things were successful.
I suspect that in this case if a LEO went public he lost his job over NOT going on an un-registered gun raid, he'd have offers coming in from all over the state, and legislators pressuring the department to re-instate him.

Sure, it's unconstitutional.
No, I don't want this to happen to anyone.
...but how many Connecticut gun owner pulled the lever for these politicians when the issues in the election were more entitlements, making the rich pay their "fair share" and "saving the environment"? Elections have consequences.

The old saw, those that refuse to follow history are doomed to repeat it? Have they forgetten that the first shots in the Revolutionary War were fired next door in Lexington, Mass and then up to Concord, Mass. as the British were there to disarm the militia and arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock. After which two Militia Commanders in Ethan Allen up in the New Hampshire area and Benedict Arnold who was living in New Haven, Connecticut took their troops and joined together to take Fort Ticonderoga from the British. These people live in what was the heart of the beginning of the American Revolution and they are trying to imitate the BRITISH???? Do they not see the irony here? And likely epic failure? You just can't make this shiite up.
This has to potential for another "shot heard 'round the world".

And this applies to this topic how? So you don't like Bachmann. So? I don't see the relevance.
It wasn't Concord N.H., it was Lexington, Mass. AND Concord, Mass.
...and I don't dislike Michelle Bachmann at all.
You have the gist of it. I said my kids have to eat, so yes I currently take pay and convert some of that pay to food, and some of that food..seems like most...goes into my kids' pie holes.
I also said I'd be actively looking for a new gig. My belief is it's easier to find a job when a person has a job, and for sure having a job keeps food on the table.
It's a despicable act that they contemplate. I'm sure shots will be fired, would not be surprised if there are some pretty serious wounds and outright dead citizens and cops.
I am managing the risk to my kids in a different fashion. I'm happy to disagree with work decisions, and I do voice my opinion - it's actually part of my job. I am not going to put my management, all senior executives, in a corner with threats. As noted, I'll voice my disagreement and if I feel strongly enough about it I'll simply look for a new job.
I'm under the impression that it was the legislators that passed this law, not sure any pressure would then come from them for a re-hire. On the other hand, they are politicians so if the wind is favorable....
Your right about Concord. I must have brain farted recalling Ethan Allen and B. Arnold. fixed it. It is acutely ironic that CT. is talking about confiscating the guns. The AR-15 and the numerous variants would be the modern day equivalent of the Revolutionary Era longrifle.
I get the Bachmann thing. I liked her until she started spending too much time in front of the cameras.
WOW!
you would voice your opinion, then be willing to go put bullets into a citizen who didn't want to comply with this law? And you could live with yourself? That exemplifies the problem we face. Even in business there are ethics that must be considered.
They didn't ALL vote for it did they? Surely a sympathetic ear could be found in the legislature.
