Historically speaking, 90-percent or more of those required to comply with gun registration laws in the U.S. refuse to do so, and there is no reason to suspect that this registration attempt in Connecticut is any different. I’ve seen estimates of 1,000,000 firearm magazines that should have been registered under the law, but the state reports registering only 40,000… just 4 percent.

I heard the website was inoperable...a lot of people are having computer issues!!! I know my computer would not like that site.

This sounds like civil disobedience to me.

Reeducation camps. Owned and operated by FEMA.

But the next step might be a few high profile arrests. That will be the real test of the resolve of the non-compliant citizens. Of course, to find the now illegal weapons, the State is going to have to figure out where to look. A house to house search is probably not an option. Then again, that worked and was tolerated by the citizens of nearby Boston during the aftermath of the marathon bombings. Perhaps the citizens of CT are less inclined to do so. Wasn't it CT that fought back against the governor over the Capitol Christmas tree?

This could get really interesting.

Different situation entirely. Had the Boston bombing happened in, say, Fort Worth (about the same size, and much the opposite politically), you'd probably find the citizens of FW cooperating with the police, as well. But, once the fugitive was found, you don't think the Boston'ers would let the po-po just waltz through their house then, do you?

I figure the citizens of Connecticut would welcome a house-to-house search about as much as the folks in San Anotnio would assist "migra" (Customs/Border Patrol) looking through their homes and neighborhoods.

The mindset in Boston and much of the rest of the NE is far different than Fort Worth or even much more Liberal San Antonio. Honestly, I think that a house to house type search is that last thing that the CT politicians might try but I do expect some arrests for non-compliance before this is over. We'll see if they do that. I was surprised by the estimates of 1M guns and magazines affected. I suspect that the politicians in CT might get some "help" from D.C and NY. Both of them would rather see this battle fought in CT, I believe. Like the situation with the political recalls in CO, there is much more at stake than one State.

Well, I don't know what they'd do in Fort Worth, but they would have had to use force to get in my home if I lived in Boston. I wouldn't resist but I also wouldn't cooperate: they'd have to break the door down and physically drag me out while the cameras were rolling.
