The Infringements Continue - 2026

This is extracted from an email I received from the CCDL (CT Citizens Defense League) today at just after 9 AM titled "CCDL Member Update: May 2026"

 

CCDL SEEKS DOJ SUPPORT OF CT GUNOWNERS

This week CCDL sent a letter to the federal government requesting relief in the Second Amendment arena. Connecticut continues to trample our rights and yet pushes for more. Every session we are forced to comply with new laws and restrictions on items that were legal when we purchased them. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain a law abiding citizen in Connecticut and it is beyond time for change.

Late 2025, the Department of Justice opened the Second Amendment Section of the Civil Rights Division. Since its inception, the Second Amendment Section has gotten involved with state litigation across the country, including in nearby-Massachusetts, Virigina, Hawaii and most recently Colorado, for several unconstitutional restrictions.

We are asking the DOJ for the same pressure.

Read the CCDL letter to the DOJ here.

 

The line at the end of the first paragraph saying it is increasingly difficult to remain a law abiding citizen in Connecticut is what caught my attention. As many of you know, I have refused to comply with the unconstitutional infringements in KOMMIECTICUT since they implemented their own "assault weapons ban" in 1994, and EVERYTHING passed since then. Carrying guns in GUN-FREE DEATH ZONES, buying and selling guns privately with no government authorization or interference, buying "verboten items" in free states and bringing them back here, storing guns how I see fit.... the list goes on and on. It has even expanded to carrying concealed across the imaginary CRIME LINE at the state border where I play my game of calling out "Not a Felon/Felon/Not a Felon" as I criss-cross the border. I did this last evening when going out to dinner with my wife and another couple documented with this post on X.

 

 

 

 

 

  

What caught my attention was having an organization like the CCDL say the quiet part out loud and mention what I have said for years. "I am not a law abiding citizen, but a peaceable one." To be law abiding means obeying these unconstitutional infringements, and I flatly refuse. I follow the quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson (although there is no evidence he said it) “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”

Laws require compliance and obedience to work. I will do neither especially when they have NO EFFECT on the criminal behavior it is intended to stop. The latest version of this is HB-5043 aka "The Glock Ban." As we all know, ghetto hood rats have no problem obtaining Glock pistols and installing extended magazines and giggle switches with no background check or Form 4473, or NFA approval certificate. That doesn't stop the hoplophobes in the state capitol from limiting the peaceable citizen's market choices at the local gun shop. And it's not just Glocks, it's any cruciform trigger system striker fired pistol. So not only my two Glocks, but my Ruger SR9c, S & W 45 Shield, and newest S & W  M&P 2.0 10mm. Of course the law is written so you can keep what you have, but look what's going on right now in Rhode Island with their "assault weapons ban" they passed last year. This year they want them all turned in or confiscated by force. Do you think Kommiecticut hasn't seen that and thought "Hmmmmm... maybe we take them all next year?"

I am currently waiting to receive my official firearms list from the state police ""Special Licensing & Firearms Unit" also known ans the SLFU. They are notoriously understaffed I believe on purpose to make dealing with firearms in the state increasingly difficult for the average citizen. Pistol permit renewals are way behind, so I don't expect my list any time soon. It has to be requested in writing, notarized, and sent by snail mail. They then print it out and mail it back to you. Fucking dinosaurs! I am working on my estate planning for firearms with my baby brother who will handle it for my wife in the event of my demise. This way he will know which guns he can sell off the radar for cash. These lists are stupid inaccurate. The last one I got was (happily) missing 50% of my guns. While most were off state radar anyway and some never had serial numbers, several were bought at FFL dealers with paperwork yet weren't there. Of course, the SLFU encourages you to add the missing ones, and YOU must provide proof of sale for any guns still on the list in error. I accidentally found out that there is a database listing EVERY gun you have ever owned. For example, I sold a Ruger Single Six in the early 1990's. Nice pistol, with the extra cylinder for .22 Magnum, just too small for my hand. If someone uses it in a crime, don't come to me about it for any reason... I will be, shall we say... less than cooperative.

The big hit we are facing on our property taxes may be the final nudge needed to get my wife to move to a free state. The town has absolutely blown up the budget with no new sources of revenue except to rob the townspeople for more. I don't fucking have it! Second Amendment freedom will just be a bonus.
