My thoughts exactly.

And how do they know who has these "assault weapons"? Did this state have a firearm registry?

Gun advocates are worried that as many as 100,000 otherwise law-abiding Connecticut residents are now felons and are exercising a kind of civil disobedience by refusing to register their previously legal rifles and magazines. The state's top advisor to the governor on gun laws has said that his office might track down unregistered owners by comparing lists of people who purchased so-called "assault rifles" in the past with the names of people who registered their rifles by the Jan. 1 deadline

And to themselves.

Just look at the FCC and their lil plan to stick their noses into television news rooms. Didn't hear one FCC agent throwing in the towel. It'll be the same with the guns.

Hopefully they dig in and stand their ground.

If they already have a list...... why do folks need to register?

No one would be likely to shoot an FCC agent in the newsroom .....

Also it was just a proposal not inaction yet.

The FCC nearly did it, if it wasn't for public outcry. I can bet you money the agents would have no issue following orders, even if it stepped on the bill of rights.
