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.
Lol those cops don’t have enuf man power to go against the American people let alone our constitution
Unconstituional. Violating the Amendment to the “RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS”.
Liberal leftist Marxist scum!
If Fox confirmed – it has got to be true!
No registration would never lead to confiscation they said. You can keep your guns they said.
Well, apparently not in New York City. According to The Truth About Guns and The Blaze, residents are beginning to receive the letters below.
Keep in mind folks, this is all due to a simple city ordinance passed by a city council. Does your state have firearms preemption that prevents local municipalities from passing laws like this? If not, you might be receiving one of these letters sooner than you think.
1. Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter.
2. Permanently remove your Rifle and/or Shotgun from New York City and provide the following
[notarized, documented, proof that you got rid of the firearm]
3. You may call to discuss the matter if you believe your firearm is in compliance, or you may request the option to bring your firearm to a licensed gunsmith for a permanent modification and certification proving that it is permanently modified and in compliance.
This is so wrong, and stupid
Aren’t the police sworn to uphold the Constitution?By confiscating our weapons it is leaving our population entirely open to takeover by our government.We will have no defense against this.Our self appointed despot king is seeing to this.Why is the U.N. getting involved in our internal affairs?Why is all this military equipment being strategically moved around the country.
Sucks
@Sherry I know news can be misleading, however rarely ever does Fox give f**e news. I give fox at least 85% probability they are telling the truth. All other American media news less than 60%. Maybe it the people who refuse to believe. Even the Bible speaks of this. The truth is there, yet they will be to blind to accept the truth.
Why has obama sent 3000 troops to Africa ? Hasn’t he sent more troops to the mid east? These troops would probably defend the populace in the event of a takeover.?What about the training camps that it is rumored that the government is using ?Why were 3000 of our troops sent to Africa when that would be the job of the U.N. forces?When we wake up,too lateand find ourselves under marshal law,thank a liberal .God help us and God bless the United States of America.
