This article is primarily about a phone call to the state police asking if they would go to people's homes and confiscate guns which had been made illegal under a recently passed state law. The call is now on youtube and has gone viral.
However, this is what caught my eye:
Connecticut residents who spoke with WND said the mood across the state was tense – especially after a major newspaper essentially suggested rounding up everyone who failed to comply with the new law. “Authorities should use the background check database as a way to find assault weapon purchasers who might not have registered those guns in compliance with the new law,” The Hartford Courant said in an editorial, suggesting that longtime fears among gun owners that background checks were being used as a tool to secretly and unlawfully create a weapons registry were not unfounded. “A Class D felony calls for a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine,” the paper continued. “If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences.”

The various Anti Gun Groups and their acolytes have dismissively laughed and ridiculed the idea that “Registration leads to Confiscation” in-spite of the fact that there is overwhelming evidence from around the world that that is exactly what happens. As I reported just a few days ago in another column, even The Obama Justice Dept has quietly admitted in an NIJ “white paper” that registration is pointless and ineffective unless coupled with confiscation. It happened in England, Australia, California and its been openly discussed and on some level implemented in both New York State as well as New York City
