You could alawys rent a storage locker right across state lines.
Interesting reading the first part of this thread, with certain people basically calling those who registered their guns cowards.

I post this not to encourage the dissent or breaking of state law, but rather as a counterpoint to the state and media's claims of the efficacy of and compliance with gun control laws that are unlikely to be enforced, both historically and now.
As always, my stance is that compliance with the law is less likely to lead to what Obi Wan Kenobi would call "imperial entanglements."
me. However, does this mean that if a gas station says the criminal used an AK47 that the cops will knock on every door of the AK47 owners and ask to see the gun or maybe even take it for a test round for striation comparison? Would that be legal?
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but didn't this already occur in California years ago?
That would be "emigrate from..."People immigrate from despots - entirely the foundation of America.
It's not that we're apathetic; Connecticut simply does not have provisions for recall elections of state officials -- different states are different.
Your financial support of our litigation fund would be most appreciated.

There's a bunch of current gun owners, who will eventually be former gun owners, unless CT reverses itself (Good Luck!).I just saw this article and the accompanying video detailing the long lines to register "assault weapons" in Connecticut.

To be honest, the reactions of some people have me baffled. I must live in an echo chamber.
A few quotes mentioned in the article -
One person in line said, "I understand why they're doing it, but I don't think it's constitutional."
Here's the one that gets me the most.
"If they were trying to make them illegal, I'd have a real issue, but if they want to just know where they are, that's fine with me."
That whole sentence confounds me.
What is the attitude of most people who go to register their firearms? Is it "I have nothing to hide," or is it, "This is wrong, but it's the law and I have to"?
I believe that, per the rules of membership at THR, nobody should be answering this question in the affirmative. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.I'm honestly curious about this one. Is there ever a time you think we all *should* disobey the law? ...

We'll see what you do when it happens in your state? Most will register. Many will get real grumpy about it. Some see registration as a good thing. Hey. It might just stop another Newtown event in CT, right?

Actually, most DON't register. Aside from the Canada thing and news articles here and there . . . I can relate to you that having grown up in Chicago, ALL the gun owners I knew ignored the Chicago registration, including cops. I knew this firsthand. Of course, this was back in the late 70's and early 80's. After those years, I got the hell out of that horrible town.
So what do they do with them then? Just keep them in the closet and never talk about them?
