Completely expected problem enforcing gun control in Connecticut... [View all]
Seems like in their emotional rush to restrict semi-auto rifles in CT, they ran into a small snag, (that was completely foreseen by everyone but gun control advocates).. Just who where they going to get to round up the guns that were not properly registered by the new laws...
They can't get the police too, because according to this report, almost 70% of CT sworn police officers are in violation of the law...
With in hours a print off of all sworn Law Enforcement officers in the state was obtained. Comparisons of the list of gun owners who failed to comply with registration requirements and sworn LEOs showed a startling figure. Just over 68% of Connecticut cops had failed to register firearms according to the new law.
Now the hand wringing, moaning, whining, and sniveling begins...
So now Connecticut is in little quagmire. The powers that be are making all kinds of threats, but there is no one to follow through on the threats.
And the lesson that should be learned by this episode, is one that is being ignored, if you can't enforce these new "common sense" laws in CT and NY, what makes them think they can anywhere else?
And a little more respect for the law goes right into the toilet, but the respect for the police just went up a notch!
