Conn. officials tell gun owners to relinquish or destroy banned assault weapons

If that is all true it would be an easy way for them to figure out who all has firearms in the state. I believe though the FFL holder only has to show the books if there is a warrant. Now this may all be untrue. I dont know for sure but that is how I always understood it. Correct me if I am wrong.

I know that Minnesota keeps the records on file for 5 years. Also, the gun is not registered under your name, it's registered under the FFL dealer or whoever legally sold it to you IE: someone that has a Class III license.

That's almost like saying look how many "assualt weapons" cause deaths around this country. We all know it's low. But it takes 1 bad apple to ruin the bushel.
 
What do you think they learned from Nevada?
When people in Conn. get a opertunity to show what kind of guts they have like we seen last weekend.
and the rest of the country follows suit, we may get America back for a few more decades.
