Yep, that's right. The state public safety commission just voted 9-5 in favor of a registration scheme, making both existing owners and future purchasors into FELONS if they fail to register their guns within 10 days of purchase; FELONS for failing to renew their registration, etc.

Read it for yourself - section 29-33 of the CGA governs sale/transfer of pistols, etc with felony penalties for violating any section of the code.
I wrote a long recommendation against this and emailed every member of the PS committee, to no avail. I'm going to the mat on this one. I have an editorial piece ready to go out to the three largest newspapers this weekend. Anyone else from CT on this site, contact me and let's organize.
Registration is illegal under Federal Law. I refuse to sit idly by while the state tries to make me a felon for being a gun owner. Meanwhile, felons can't be compelled to register their guns - see Haynes v. U.S. (309 U.S. 85 (1968) - because the 5th Amendment provides immunity against self-incrimination.
