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.
I’m confused by this article. Were the weapons illegal when they bought them or was a law passed that suddenly made them illegal?
They were legal when they bought them, and then the state passed a law making them illegal.
The new gun control laws made them illegal.
we request them to comply so sanity could be restored in the state once again through proper gun control laws
When this was done in Australia, they at least financially compensated the owners of the guns.
That said, the was a huge rise in the purchase of 4″ PVC pipes, with end caps; oil cloth and candles
Just in case I have to explain the above, the greatest enemy to a gun is rust, so clean then wrap the gun in the oil cloth, place in PVC pipe, seal on the end cap with plumber’s glue, place the lighted candle in the pipe, seal the other end cap on so it is air tight; the candle burns up all the oxygen – no air, no rust
