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.
Not on my watch
So unconstitutional! If they gonna try taking people’s guns they need to Serve a ticket or summons and give a USA citizen due process!
Nathan Craig I believe u r the one that is uniformed! Police have no right to do this, they can’t just force their way in you’re home and confiscate you’re property! They can come and arrest people and charge them and then give them people their day in court to be convicted or not! That is called due process! Big difference!
Actually, they can claim your home is involved in a crime and confiscate the home and everything in is under civil forfeiture laws.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

They say they are not confiscating weaons but have stated that when the law goes into effect onJan 1 they will be going door to door to taking the weapons. Thats a lot of warrants.
