Fox News has finally reported that Connecticut has sent out gun confiscation letters.
The letters tell gun owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish the arms to the police or make them permanently inoperable.
Hundreds of thousands of residents have yet to comply with the new law, which they were required to do by Jan. 1st of this year – turning them all into felons overnight.
What your next move Connecticut?
Connecticut officials are urging owners of now-illegal assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines to relinquish them to the police or make them permanently inoperable.The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection announced Friday it had sent a letter to owners who had failed to register the items by a Jan. 1 deadline, part of last year’s gun control law. Officials offered advice on what to do now with the weapons and magazines.
The letter says gun owners are in compliance with the new state law if their items are no longer in Connecticut or were sold to an authorized gun dealer.
Those who fail to comply face charges of possessing an unregistered assault weapon and/or high capacity magazine.
Commissioner Dora Schriro denied rumors DESPP is confiscating weapons.
When’s Colt leaving?
First of all it would not make them felons, it would make law enforcement felons for violating constitution. The government has to obey it just as well as Americans. And if the law changes it still won’t predate prior law. Do you think the actual felons who may actually pose a threat plan to turn in their weapons ? Why should the legal gun owners.if the law changes, then its effect starts on that day. You cannot change law and then take away the rights from 20 years ago, confiscating weapons sounds pretty risky to me. Do they really want to face law abiding citizens with automatic weapons? Not a very bright idea Obonehead.
Lucky for me I have no automatics, but I got a lightning fast trigger finger.
It is against our 2 amendment that is also our constitution right
HIDE YOU GUNS
