Post by: Xpiatio on February 13, 2014, 07:47:39 AM

Officials in Connecticut Stunned by What Could Be a Massive, State-Wide Act of ‘Civil Disobedience’ by Gun Owners.  Many gun owners failed to register their firearms.

Yep.  We linked a story in the Jan 2014 newsletter that--when taking into account guns and magazines--estimates compliance at four percent.

Thanks for that link, Pat.  I have downloaded that and am interested in reading it.  I have already quickly perused it, and the author makes good points.  I agree with his conclusion, and would even go further and state, not that legislators are deluding themselves, but are outright lying as the end goal must be total confiscation.  That is the only type of supply-side regulation (i.e., gun control) that even makes sense, and in the United States, the rate of non-compliance would be great.
