So what's your prediction on Connecticut confiscations?

[ceyko]

I don't think he is a nut based off the articles. Whether he follows through or not, he is taking a stand and trying to help inform others of how things should be working.

I'm not sure an uprising will come of this at all. I can't remember the stats, but long story short - of all the gun owners out there, a small percentage really understand their rights. So - add on top of that all the non-gun owners or people who just really don't care and you're not left with much.

Also, I think even if people did something. The media would turn the (ignorant/stupid) people of the country against them as terrorists. Look around - most have no clue on this subject. The media is public enemy #1 in my opinion and won't help when this all goes down.

It would not be a complete waste to those of us who understand, but it's another uphill battle.

The only caveat I have - is I'm learning that in a lot of these liberal states, there are a ton of conservatives. Farmers and folks out in the country doing their thing, but out numbered by the population in the cities. Anyway, those are the folks that I could see not giving a crap and standing up to this bullshit.

Look at the county maps for true representation of America, IMO. You see the high pop city counties (who tend to have more people dependent on government) go blue, and the rest of the country (who tend to have more people rely on themselves) go red. What's sad is places like Ohio, which is largely red...the whole state goes blue because of two cities.

while I applaud conservatives who remain in the big cities and vote in local elections, I always knew I was a country mouse at heart, and I'm so thankful that I'm out in the sticks with like-minded people. I truly feel that there is more opportunity for a person with conservative values who isn't afraid of actual work out here.

The problem is that moving out of the hustle/bustle takes conservative votes out of the big city areas. Again, I am appreciative of my conservative brethren who are still in the thick of it. You're better people than I am!

My prediction.

The State will target a few people (10 or less) and hit them with everything they have to attempt to make an example of them. The media will do everything they can to vilify these people every 10 min. All of the key board commandos will run screaming and pissing in their pants turning their guns to their masters.


Free men will keep and defend what is rightfully theirs.

If by chance they all resist, the state will run out of jack booted thugs long before the patriots run out of ammo.

Evidently, the cop who told the man that refused to register his weapons that he couldn't wait for the order to kick in the man's door, was put on leave pending an investigation.

Imagine that.

Boston – National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.

CT Cop to Gun Owning Patriot John Cinque: “I Cannot Wait to Get the Order to Kick Your Door In”


Last weekend, I reported on Connecticut John Cinque's 2013 warning to lawmakers that he would not comply with their attempts to force the citizens of Connecticut to register their semi-automatic weapons and high capacity magazines. Since that time, the video, though a year old, has gone viral. However, in a recent video between Mr. Cinque and Connecticut gubernatorial candidate Joe Visconti, Cinque reveals that a Branford, Connecticut police officer told him, "I Cannot Wait to Get the Order to Kick Your Door In."





Cinque was explaining last year's account to Visconti. Specifically he referenced a phone conversation with Connecticut State Representative David Yaccarino. In that questioning, Cinque said that the thing that really stuck with him was the fact that when he asked Yaccarino why there was a Second Amendment, he responded that it was put in place so that the Colonists could attack the British. No, seriously, that is what was said. Never mind that the Second Amendment was written long after the Revolutionary War.

Yaccarino finished the conversation with Cinque and then the phone was hung up, and Cinque was determined to go to the meeting (you can see the video of his comments here if you missed them).

According to Visconti, Governor Malloy's signing the gun registration bill, was what got him in the race for governor. "I got into the race April 4th, as the governor was signing the bill, because for me, it was the last straw," he told Cinque.

Cinque was asked how he felt as well.

Mr. Cinque was angry over the fact that these elected officials were claiming that they did great things for the citizens of Connecticut and saved their rights, when he believed what they were doing was violating their oath of office.

Both representatives are Republicans. "I'm a Republican," Cinque said in response to Visconti's affirmation that he also is a Republican.

"But I don't trust the Republicans either, at the state or the federal level," Cinque continued. "This whole Progressive movement has bitten everyone, and that's what it comes down to."

Visconti interjected that it hasn't bitten everyone, affirming that it had not bitten him, and Connecticut gun owners seem to agree with him. Visconti not only wants to fight the current gun law, but the entire progressive agenda. "What are we gonna do about this gun law in Connecticut, because they are not going to stop?" he asked.

Cinque agreed with Visconti. "Anytime you hear 'common sense gun laws' or 'common sense gun restrictions,' it means 'confiscation' to them," he told Visconti. "That's the only 'common sense' thing to the people who are spewing this out. It means confiscation in the end."

When asked what Cinque thinks will happen, he said, "Well, if the governor is re-elected, it's gonna be uh….not just on the Second Amendment…it's gonna be a whole lot of changes. I have zero doubt they're gonna go full speed ahead."

Then he delivered the bombshell. "I can speak from my own experience, that the video that was posted….in which I said 'I'm not going to comply'… and I stand by my words… I've had contact with a police officer in my home town…I live in Branford, and his words straight out were 'I Cannot Wait to Get the Order to Kick Your Door In.'"

A call to the Branford, Connecticut Police Department simply led to me calling on Monday, which I will do, to speak to the Police Chief. Also, an email to John Cinque has not been returned at the time of publishing. The article will be updated with any new information.

John is among hundreds of thousands of Connecticut citizens who are exercising mass civil disobedience against not only a violation of their rights expressed in the Second Amendment, but also in the Connecticut State Constitution. They are not registering their weapons and they aren't surrendering them as instructed. As has been pointed out by a Cuban immigrant to America, gun registration is the step immediately before gun confiscation. In fact, the man I'm referencing, Manuel Martinez's son, contacted Freedom Outpost to reiterate that we should refer to all "gun control" legislation as a form of "gun confiscation," which Cinque indicates that is exactly what is on the progressives mind, both Democrat and Republican.

This is what that people of Connecticut are up against. They are up against tyrants; tyrants that believe they are the master of the citizens, not the other way around.

God bless these patriots, and may He continue to grant them courage and victory in this desperate hour.

UPDATE: John Cinque spoke to Freedom Outpost on Sunday and provided the name of the officer. He will also be providing us with screenshots of the conversation in which the officer made the statements he did and we will be following up with Branford Police Department on Monday. This is about to get interesting.

UPDATE 2: I've reviewed the screenshots and have left a voicemail for the officer involved. Let me clarify the actual statement the officer provided in the midst of a lengthy Facebook interaction.

"I give my left nut to bang down your door and come for your gun."

The officer, Joseph Peterson, has served for many years and is a long time friend of John Cinque's. Here's the Screenshot of the conversation. I've highlighted the citation

CT Cop Who Wants to Kick in Doors & Confiscate Guns Suspended – Not Before Spilling the Beans on What Gun Registration is all About

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/ct-cop-who-wants-to-kick-in-doors-confiscate-guns-suspended-not-before-spilling-the-beans-on-what-gun-registration-is-all-about_032014

Due to the efforts of a concerned citizen, Branford PD has begun an internal investigation. Freedom Outpost has learned that Officer Peterson has been placed on extended leave pending the investigation by Internal Affairs Investigation.

If that's all it takes, I'd hate to see the PD investigate some of the nutjob posts a certain member of this board has made on multiple occasions.
