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.
Stand together. It looks like there are some TRUE PATRIOTS. The other ones are cowards.
God Bless them
It is my prayer, that America will once again be worthy of God’s blessings, but first America must humble ourselves and invite him back, and make him welcome.
America’s hero Warriors have given America a blank check, and sworn “to defend the Constitution of The United States of America, against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.” Stop dishonoring the sacrifices of America’s Patriots, by forcing them to follow this Traitor. Impeach him and gang of Traitors already.
The Constitution of The United States of America is the supreme law of the land. To many of our elected officials, and those that they have appointed, illegally pass laws that are Unconstitutional, and are approved by The Supreme Court. As American Patriots, we need to Recall Congress, Impeach Traitor Obama and his gang of Domestic Terrorist. We also need to Abolish the I. R. S. and the Federal Reserve Bank, and repeal the Patriot Act. We also need Term Limits, and to require all Congress members, and government employees to be on Social Security, with the same retirements that Tax Payers have, and all laws passed by Congress apply equally to Congress and all government employees, including the President.
On 15 Feb 1965, I joined The Army of The United States of America. I was sent from my home, in Dallas, Texas, to Ft. Polk LA, for basic training. I walked into a classroom one day and found the topic was, “What it means to be an American.” I though I was born in America, and did not need to be told what it meant to be an American. I asked the instructor why we had to take the class, and he said that during the Korean War there were more POW defectors than anytime in history. The reason for that was that so many Americans took their citizenship for granted and knew nothing about the principles on which this country was founded. The reason for the mess America is in is because so few people have any idea what it means to be an American.
If more Americans understood The Constitution of The United States of America, they would recognize that our Fore Fathers were religious men, and were inspired when they set up this great country. Our government is supposed to be rule by majority, with respect for the minority, but we are now ruled by minority with OUT any respect for majority. The overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God and some form of religion, but God is being pushed out of our schools, and government, but the minority who do not believe in God.
Oath Keeper since 15 Feb 1965.
if I was a CT. cop and asked someone if they had a weapon, and they said No, my answer would be ‘ Ok thanks , have a nice day” !
A real policeman will stand for their people
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Thank you ladies and gentlemen of the United States of America.
This is good news! Hopefully, these patriotic police officers will force the communist liberal loons that created this mess to think about what they are doing and stop it before there is a lot of bloodshed.
Officers, We the people are 100% behind you. You are one of U.S. Be strong, you are doing what’s right and what’s nessasarry..
I’m really impressed that they are standing tall. God bless you and your family’s
