People wait in line to register guns before new laws go into effect

"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," said Charles Gillette, who was registering magazines.

If you don't register those mags, and those guns you purchased legally through a NCIS check, they become illegal and you become a felon....then Duh! they are trying to make them illegal.

Here's the proof that most people would comply with any registration efforts...

I wonder if there are any criminals in that line?

No, that's next year.
And like California, the list will be used to seize the rifles and magazines when
a complaint is made of any criminal activity -- even non-violence unrelated.

The Canadian federal government finally realized that its firearm registry was a complete waste as bad guys do not register their illegal firearms and it only ended up hurting the law abiding gun owning citizens. After spending over sixty million on it (which was supposed to only cost two million) Ottawa finally scraped it. I guess the state of Connecticut did not learn from Canada's mistake.

Weimar time. I just hope Target isn't handling their database...

That is simply amazing! Bad-guys don't register their guns and the Kanooks are just realizing that!

That's ok I would never register mine either.

And we all know what registration leads to..... just ask Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao......

Guns sales are doing quite well in Kalifornia right now because after January 1st all long guns purchased must be registered.

I'm leavin' this state pretty soon.

Those who do not learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it.

Nazi survivor’s warning to Americans: ‘Keep your guns and buy more guns’


In 1938, the media reported that Hitler rode into Austria with tanks and guns and took us over. Not true at all. The Austrian people elected Hitler by 98 percent of the vote by means of the ballot box. Now you might ask how could a Christian nation… elect a monster like Hitler. The truth is at the beginning Hitler didn’t look like or talk like a monster at all. He talked like an American politician.

Worthman said gun control also began gradually, before the Nazis eventually confiscated every firearm. According to NRA News, she said:


We also had gun registration. All the Austrian people… had guns. But the government said, “the guns are very dangerous. Children are playing with guns. Hunting accidents happen and we really have to have total controlled safety. And we had criminals again. And the only way that we can trace the criminal was by the serial number of the gun.”
So we dutifully went to the police station and we registered our guns. Not long after they said, “No, it didn’t help. The only way that we won’t have accidents and crimes [is] you bring the guns to the police station and then we don’t have any crimes anymore and any accidents. And if you don’t do that: capital punishment.”
So that’s what we did. So dictatorship didn’t happen overnight. It took five years. Gradually, little by little to escalate up to a dictatorship.

She's Austrian and was talking about gun registration in Austria after the Nazi's and Hitler were voted in. She makes NO mention of Germany and her laws about gun control. She's telling it like it was for her and the others that were living in Austria at the time.

Yep; the lists, in as fine a manner as they kept any list, were already a matter of record. How convenient was that a little later and how did it work out?

[Stiletto11]

This has nothing to do with crime control, it is a feel good response by politicians who think they have to do something. Anyone in CT who gets caught with a unregistered mag or AR if convicted will do more time than a rapist.

I'd say that progressives learn very well from the past. It's how they're getting better at incrementalism in regards to gun control. Just look at how they invented the term "assault weapon" when their handgun ban push was losing support with the public. Or the comments around the 1994 AWB in regards to how the real goal was to normalize it and springboard to handguns in the future.

@mojaveman - I'm jealous.
