Some unfortunate citizens (safe targets) might be made example of early. These unfortunate folks may need (among other things) legal help and legal defense fund raising.
If the state of CT continues down this path -- then escalation is on them.
The Hartford Courant does not realize the flames that they are fanning.

The POTUS has already set a precedent on obeying the letter of the law, with his disregard for implementing certain aspects of the Affordable Health Care Act as it was written. What is there two sets of rules out there?

I found this from 2013 interesting in that it appears that CT is more concerned with registration (and its enforcement) rather than SENTENCING those convicted of other crimes while carrying a weapon.
Guess it makes for better window dressing to target lawful citizens, who by nature comply, than unlawful "scofflaws".

It is not "neat" by a long run. It is deadly serious. People asserting their rights is not new in this country or in others. Look at Syria, Libya, Egypt etc... The people in those places thought they were being held down by abusive leaders. They did something about it. Are we so different?

The purposeful non-registration of ARs IS the peaceful resistance that you are referring to. Are you suggesting gun owners should hand over their weapons to the government, at a request?

Form say a wall of people around the capital government and not let the government function, etc...what are they going to do, arrest tens of thousands of people, or shoot them? And if they DID try shooting them, imagine how that would come across to the rest of the country? .

That would be neat, but that sort of thing only works really well for left leaning individuals like the OWS crowd. You have to remember that those of us who lean to the right you know the "bitter clingers" work for a living. Somebody has to pay taxes in this country.

George Washington would disagree, so would I.

Shays' Rebellion seemed to be a good teachable moment.

Last I heard, it was a "constitutional Republic", though looking at it you may or may not be able to tell....
