The Resistance Begins: New York Gun Owners Refuse to Register       

"Largest Act of Civil Disobedience in State History"

With emotions running high in the aftermath of the Newtown Sandy Hook shooting, politicians on the State and Federal level have begun introducing legislative actions to curtail access to firearms protected by the Second Amendment. In Missouri, parents may soon be forced to register firearms with their child's school under threat of criminal penalties. In Massachusetts, another proposal would require storage of semi-automatic rifles at government approved storage depots. And, in the State of New York, congressional representatives have already passed legislation that requires registration of every semi-automatic rifle and reduces maximum magazine capacity to 7 rounds of ammunition, and Governor Cuomo has floated the idea of gun confiscation.

Now, in what is sure to be a growing trend across the entire country, New York gun owners are organizing a resistance against what many believe to be the most, "brazen infringement on the right to keep and bear arms anywhere in the nation," according toThe New American:

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."

Opponents of the right to bear arms, take heed. The American people know what you're up to and they will not stand for it.

The resistance has begun.

The article is crap.

Some of those guys will hide their guns out of state, like they did in California.

Others will hide them locally, like they did in California.

Most of them will bitch openly, like they did in California, and then register their guns.

One or two of them will use their guns against the police, while yelling "I have rights", like they did in California.  They will be the ones that you can pry their guns from their cold dead fingers.

The government will pick who they go after, first warning and then threatening.  Then they will catch some bad guy, the one that everyone will agree needs to go to jail, and prosecute the crap out of him.  That is when the stage will be completely set and the fat lady will sing a grateful aria to the greatness of the state.

That's probably exactly how this whole thing will go down.  They will make examples out of a few people and scare the crap out of almost everybody else so they will comply.  They did it over income tax so they will follow the same protocol.

That would be good, I need a fence...  something to keep the cows out.

One more in a, growing longer, list of felonies they have hanging over people's heads. The "authorities" have no need for complete compliance.

If they don't like someone, or you happen to have to involve the cops in your life... one more thing they can find to charge you with.

One upside could be, after someone's conviction, on appeal New York's gun laws could be somewhat unraveled. DC's laws where determined to be unconstitutional.

I predict the public won't even know when they raid for guns, because the ostensible reason will be something else, like terroristic threats, or making bombs, or domestic terrorism, or that all-time favorite: drugs.

Even if they raid finds none of that, it will find the guns, and the former owner will be prosecuted for the guns.
