Nice to know that the sheep are still out-numbered in CT. Not much the politicians who passed that law can do to look good at this point. Maybe it's still a risky business to be a communist in CT after all.

Thats awesome
11 miles from me. The town wouldn't allow guns at a planned 2nd ammendment rally. So apparently no one went. I am pleasently shocked by the CT folks. No way MA would respond that way. Some people would would move north, further isolating law abiding owners.
Wow still surprised by CT. I have never met anyone from CT that was pro 2A.
Maybe collective punishment pisses people off?

Unpopular laws often do not get obeyed. If the disobedience is widespread, the cops are not able to enforce the law. They may make a show of it but it means that the law is worthless.
To elevate this up a notch, there is civil disobedience where people openly disobey the law, forcing LE to arrest them.

that story would have been more interesting, and in the spirit of this thread, if a few hundred folks showed up armed anyway.....

Personally, I think it is great, and is proof of what happens when legislators we elect do not listen to "We the People". They just made (Conservative estimate) 150,000 law abiding citizens criminals with the stroke of a pen..........if thats not Tyranny, I don't know what is.

It's a solution in search of a problem. And they're not felons until tried and convicted.

One of the reasons that civil disobedience works is that you can overwhelm the system. If the people have to arrest thousands of people who openly disobey the law then the courts can not deal with it. There is not enough jail space nor prisons. When it is your neighbor, some who is seen as a good guy, often there are others who call the political leaders and demand that the laws be changed.
The secret is being organized. And disciplined.

again scare tactics. pick off a few in hopes that the rest fall into line.
Not so easy if people are organized and do organized protests. Also have a call system so that others can show up to a house if the police arrive. Make every situation get out of control.

They did listen to the people, the people wanted something done, it looks like the gun owners didnt talk to their reps in CT
That or they got out voted or they voted for these guys with this being low on their priority list. Many "conservatives" back east are still quite liberal.
