On Friday night February 28th, I was asked my opinion regarding a new SUGGESTED AMNESTY PERIOD to allow individuals to register their firearms and large capacity magazines.
My response was probably unexpected. I VOICED MY OJECTION TO ANY AMNESTY FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
I then explained the reasons for my position to those who asked, and will attempt to explain here for others to evaluate.
The legislature passed new laws without knowing what they were doing or the consequences of the law.
Many elected officials are beginning to realize they are in a social and political hot seat.
Governor Malloy, Under Secretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning Mike Lawlor, CSP Lt. Paul Vance, CSP Lt. Eric Cooke have made public statements regarding those that did not register regardless of the reason.
By suggesting or talking about a period of AMNESTY, Members of the Connecticut Legislature are now becoming increasing aware of the consequences of their actions.
There are unconfirmed reports, that some members of the Connecticut legislature who voted in favor of the ban on firearms and registration requirements on law abiding Connecticut residents has caused POLITICAL FEAR and possible fear for their safety.
IF EVERY KNOWN OR SUSPECTED PERSON/FELONWHO FAILED TO MEET THE DEADLINE IS PUBLICLY TRACKED DOWN, CONFRONTED, and ARRESTED ON FELONY CHARGES AND FORCED TO STAND BEFORE THE CRIMINAL COURTS OF CONNECTICUT the issue will get the media coverage, public comment and reaction that should have been allowed during the process to enact the law in 2013.
Those that enacted the laws are now CLEARLY FEARFUL of enforcing THEIR LAWS for fear of a REAL POLITICAL AND SOCIAL BACKLASH.
Those that enacted the new restrictive laws DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO ENFORCE THE LAWS THEY HAVE WRITEN.
What is the Governor and Commissioner of DESPP waiting for?
MY OPINION AND POSTION ON ANY FORM OF AMNESTY IS SIMPLE:
IMMEDIATE ARRESTS AND PROSECUTIONS OR TOTAL AND COMPLETE REPEAL OF THE 2013 LAWS.
