The Connecticut Peace Officers’ Assn will release an open letter stating that police in Connecticut will not “be party to the oppression of the people of the state by enforcing an unconstitutional law.” So far around 250 police officers have cosigned the letter.
An estimated 100,000 people in CT have not registered their guns in accordance with the new law, turning them into felons.
Now we have hundreds of law enforcement refusing to comply. Of course, there are a lot of cops that will….and we can see the squaring off of sides coming into view.
Civil war coming soon to a city near you….
A showdown is developing between a sizable number of Connecticut state police officers and the politicians who passed into law highly restrictive gun control, gun bans, and bans on high capacity magazines.
Gun rights legal expert and activist David Hardy reported Friday that 250 law enforcement officers in Connecticut have signed an open letter stating that they will not enforce the new anti-gun and magazine laws, which they consider to be a violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
A major news story on these developments is due to be published soon, but Hardy received an advanced notice via email from Tyler Jackson, the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers Association, the organization that sent the open letter.
According to Hardy,
Tyler Jackson has emailed me an interesting story, soon to appear online (I’ll link to it once it does)– the gist is that the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers’ Assn has released an open letter stating that the police will not “be party to the oppression of the people of the state by enforcing an unconstitutional law.” So far 250 LEOs have cosigned the letter.
Gunowners in the state have already ignored the mandate to comply with the new laws, refusing to register with the state government their possession of so-called “assault weapons” and forbidden magazines.
It is estimated that over 300,000 gunowners have practiced civil disobedience in refusing to register and give up the newly forbidden items. Only roughly 50,000 citizens in the state have complied.
But now these courageous citizens have key support in high places. With at least 250 law enforcement officers joining them in disobeying an unconstitutional law, the gunowners have a new weapon in their arsenal — the support of hundreds of police officers.
Hardy reported that with the lack of support of police, Connecticut faces massive civilian resistance, with police officers refusing to enforce a law that to most citizens crosses a line that is unacceptable in a free society.
If such a thing can happen in a deeply blue state in New England, what would law enforcement encounter if they attempted such an ill-fated attack on Constitutionally-protected rights in Texas, Wyoming, South Carolina, Utah, or Kentucky?
This is something that the political powers that be in government and law enforcement — and in the Courts — should think long and hard about before acting in such a knee-jerk fashion as Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Massachusetts have done.
Depends if someone is twisted enough to enforce it and think it is right!!!!!
Oath before orders
good job
Various “basic” rights that cannot be violated under any circumstances are set forth in international human rights documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
But even more than that, in the United States we have the “Bill of Rights” which documents Human Rights and Freedoms we have because we are born free men and women.
They were not given to us by the Constitution or by our government and are only documented there so the rich, fat cat, pampered and spoiled liars and parasites of our political arena do not forget we have them.
Obama’s Administration, our Senators, our Representatives, our Federal Agencies, and our Judicial System continue to work at taking our Human Rights and Freedoms. Vote every one of our current Senators and Representatives out. They have not fired Obama. We have Immigration Laws, use them. Repeal the horribly destructive Obamacare Monster, end our stupid War on Terror, repeal the unconstitutional NDAA law, Repeal the Cyber Security Bill, shut down the IRS, NSA, and EPA, but first, fire Obama, Biden, Holder, Kerry, Susan Rice, and every one of Obama’s unamerican liar and parasite appointees.
Obama and Biden love war and gun control more than Adolf Hitler did.
No Incumbents. They have not fired Obama.
It’s their job to enforce just laws not unjust and crooked laws!!!!
I wonder what King George, or Hitler, or Stalin, or…Obama would say about this?!
Finally some good news!
Hope more sign on.
