    Word from the halls of Connecticut’s legislature is that they fear the repercussions of their draconian registration & confiscation law. The CCDL has called on the legislature to put up or shut up, after state police sent out letters to “non-compliant” gun owners demanding they turn in their guns or move them out of state.

    But this only confirms what gun enthusiasts have said since 1968. Registration is the first step towards confiscation. The admission of CT that they are data-mining background check data to find “scofflaws” only proves the theory.

    That the law itself is a prima facie unconstitutional and enforcement should be delayed until the courts say otherwise is of no concern to the legislature. They believe that any law they make must be obeyed regardless of its legitimacy or not. That’s simply not acceptable in our Constitutional Republic.

    Sandy Hook was indeed a tragedy on all fronts. But the actions of one deranged young man (and also perhaps the misguided desire a mother desperate to make her son “normal”) would not be affected on bit by any legislation. Nor should people’s rights be constrained because someone who should have been institutionalized was not.

    Murphy was taken to the woodshed by a woman in Manchester eleven months ago. How can someone who knows a little about a lot of things and nothing about the most vital things be taken seriously as a US Senator?
