Jackbooted thugs in CT! Who let them in? (actually, the people did, through their elected representatives)...

Do I sell my precious, or do I fall on my sword and commit civil disobedience? Second Amendment absolutists are so oppressed and put upon by tyrannical governments that they are becoming absolutely distraught. They are in an absolute tizzy over these violations of their absolute right to "bear" any lethal weapon they so choose, anywhere, at anytime.

Their rage knows no bounds, as seen here:

Seeing how CT is enacting "progressive" gun control reform, have they stated how they will respond to those who fail to comply with these measures?
Will you all be discussing that any?

I thought maybe you all were serious about discussing how to "enact progressive gun control reform" and, since dealing with non-compliance is a huge aspect of any law, I was hoping somebody more PC savvy than myself would have taken the time to educate themselves on the subject.

I apologize for hoping for a serious discussion on the matter.

"non-compliance" for any other law? Are you saying that being a scofflaw is akin to "civil disobedience?" Oh goodie, I don't believe in red stop lights, so I can just drive through them and expect to be excused because of my strongly held beliefs?

I highly suspect that those CT citizens who are law-abiding will obey the law, and a few Second Amendment absolutists will not and suffer the consequences of resorting to indignant self-help.
