Viral Photo from Connecticut - "Looks like Weimar Germany"

[Feuer Frei!]

A now-viral photo showing a long line of Connecticut residents waiting to register their guns and ammo is circulating across the Internet — and it’s sending chills down the backs of some gun owners. Connecticut gun owners are rushing to register certain firearms and ammunition that will be considered illegal contraband in the new year.

And look at how many are turning on those poor folks with internet tough talk.

Just what the antis want to see. Gun owners divided and fighting amongst ourselves.

Yeah, it looks just like Weimar Germany. Look at all those Communists and Freikorps killing each other.

No words for how stupid this is.

Seeing as it Gleen Beck I am surprised the article does not try to convince you to buy gold.

Ah never mind I see the banner add now.

I don't see why everyone's so upset. Don't the majority of NRA members support registration, despite what the leadership says?

No. Where did you get that idea?

Absolutely not! I don't know where you got that information but that is not true. We already have a background check system in place that's been working just fine. It's called NICS, and yes there is a paper trail with it, and no, felons cannot obtain guns legally through NICS. Why would we need another one of these systems? The only reason would be to know where to send the Gestapo when the gov't feels like it, at all the LEGAL owners.

Let's not forget about Tyrone still being able to nab a MAC11 or TEC9 from the trunk of a car in a dark back alley. I don't think registration would affect him now would it?

The idea that has the most support in the US is making background checks cover all gun sales.The "loophole" is not true either most states require background checks even at gun shows and local municipalities in many cases in states that do not require check at gun shows supersede the state and require a check.

Strict registration is by far the least supported idea by actual firearm owners NRA members or not.Not every legal gun owner is an NRA member.

I'm one of them! I have over $15,000 invested in guns, ammo, reloading equipment, raw lead, ready to lube bullets, and accessories. It will be a cold day in hades when I give that up! That's my WHOLE life savings in there!

I got out of the NRA when I started to realize that they were taking back door deals to keep their mouths shut about the new unconstitutional laws regarding our 2nd amendment. We pay them to NOT keep their mouths shut about issues like this!

I'm not giving up my guns, and I'm not signing up for obamacare. Take my money, shoot me, arrest me, do your worst. I'm sick and tired of everybody living in fear, and I'm not taking it anymore!

Everywhere I look I see a castrated society that mopes around with their tails between their legs. Does it even mean anything to be American anymore?

Numerous news sources here in Australia have reported that, and I once saw several interviews with NRA members who supported background checks.

It just occurred to me that background checks and registration are probably two different things, and that I'm an idiot.

Geeze, even us firearms owners in Australia don't support registration.

All it's done is supply a shopping list to criminal organisations.

They are two different things but you're certainly not an idiot. Just another victim of deliberate media obfuscation i'll bet.

Not wanting to sound stupid but I need to ask this. With those laws of yours I thought owning a gun was all but outlawed in Australia?
