I am catching up on my web surfing due to my schedule and I ran across this little gem. I already knew that most people are planning on disobeying the new laws if they go into effect. I will not obey such a law because I consider it immoral and a strike against the second amendment. I swore an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and I will stand by my oath. I believe that once you cross over to beyond the rim as they say, all you take with you is your name, and if you were a good person. All the other crap stays behind. How can I account to St Peter for my moral lapse and do something that I know in my heart is wrong and violates one of the freedoms endowed by my creator. Well apparently I am not the only one...In the peoples republic of New York, there is massive disobedience planned on the draconian law rammed through by Coumo and the Democrats. Here is an exerpt:
After Democrats in New York rammed a sweeping assault on the right to keep and bear arms through the legislature that failed to exempt police officers from the draconian restrictions, gun owners and even some lawmakers are planning what has been dubbed
potentially the largest act of civil disobedience in state history.
According to news reports, gun rights activists are urging everyone to
defy far-left Governor Andrew Cuomo’s new registration mandate while
daring authorities to “come and take it.”
Analysts say the
legislation, passed in a frenzy last week in the wake of the Newtown
shooting, represents the most brazen infringement on the right to keep
and bear arms anywhere in the nation. Among other points, the so-called
SAFE Act seeks to limit magazines to just seven bullets, require
virtually all of the estimated one million semi-automatic rifles in the
state to be registered with authorities, mandate reporting of patients
who express indications that they may have thoughts about hurting
themselves or others by doctors, and more.
Aside from being
unconstitutional, experts on gun violence also point out that the
draconian schemes are a bad idea: Studies have repeatedly shown that more guns lead to less crime,
and the phenomenon is obvious across America — just compare Chicago or
D.C. to Alaska or Wyoming. The mandated reporting requirements for
doctors, meanwhile, have come under fire from across the political spectrum. Whether it will even be possible to enforce the bill, however, remains to be seen.
Preparations
are already being made for mass resistance. “I’ve heard from hundreds
of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be
magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the
registration deadline comes,’’ said President Brian Olesen with American
Shooters Supply, among the biggest gun dealers in the state, in an
interview with the New York Post.
Even
government officials admit that forcing New Yorkers to register their
guns will be a tough sell, and they are apparently aware that massive
non-compliance will be the order of the day. “Many of these
assault-rifle owners aren’t going to register; we realize that,’’ a
source in the Cuomo administration told the Post, adding that officials expect “widespread violations” of the new statute.
Threats
of imprisoning gun owners for up to a year and confiscating their
weapons are already being issued by governor’s office, headed by a rabid
anti-Second Amendment extremist who suggested before the bill passed
that “confiscation”
of all semi-automatic rifles was being considered. If tens or even
hundreds of thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens refuse to
comply, however, analysts say New York would either have to start
raising taxes and building a lot more prisons, or give up on the scheme
that experts say will do nothing to reduce violence and that lawmakers say is aimed at eventual confiscation.
Activists involved in the state-wide boycott against the unconstitutional statute who spoke to the Post
almost taunted authorities, saying gun owners would essentially dare
authorities to “come and take it away.” According to the paper, leaders
of some of the state’s hundreds of gun clubs, dealers, and non-profit
organizations, citing the New York Constitution’s guarantee that gun
rights “cannot be infringed,” are currently involved in organizing the
resistance. Among the primary concerns is that, with registration,
authorities would know where to go for confiscation, an idea already
proposed openly by Governor Cuomo himself.
“They’re saying, ‘F---
the governor! F--- Cuomo! We’re not going to register our guns,’ and I
think they’re serious. People are not going to do it. People are going
to resist,” explained
State Rifle and Pistol Association President Tom King, who also serves
on the National Rifle Association board of directors. “They’re taking
one of our guaranteed civil rights, and they’re taking it away.”
