Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)- A now-viral photo showing a long line of Connecticut residents waiting to register their guns and ammo is circulating across the Internet — and it’s sending chills down the backs of some gun owners.
Connecticut gun owners are rushing to register certain firearms and ammunition that will be considered illegal contraband in the new year.
Under a wide-ranging gun control law passed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, they have until Tuesday to submit the paperwork with the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
“Holy crap. Looks like Weimar Germany,” Twitter user @votermom said of the photo.
“Another disgusting picture from Connecticut … men waiting in line to register guns with the government,” user @chipwoods commented.
“First, they came for the guns,” @PaulRReyes added.
“Life is too short to live in a state that does this to its residents,” Twitter user @lancemfisher declared.
And there are plenty more comments where that came from.
State police say they’ve had people lining up early in the morning to turn in applications to keep high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and guns considered assault weapons under the new law.
While the Connecticut Citizens Defense League believes the law is unconstitutional, it has been reminding gun owners of the deadline to make sure they don’t become felons on Jan. 1 2014.

Magnificent beat ! I wish to apprentice at the same time as
you amend your site, how could i subscribe for a weblog site?
The account helped me a appropriate deal. I
were tiny bit familiar of this your broadcast provided vivid transparent idea
Just want to say your article is as surprising. The clearness in your post is just excellent and i can assume you’re an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your RSS feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please keep up the rewarding work.
I dont see the big deal. Stop with the fear mongering and comparing this to the Nazi lines. I mean really? You guys are taking this way to far.
It is hard to believe that this is really happening in my America. What is worse, is that so many are in such fear of their government that they are actually complying rather that resisting. Government by the people for the people!!! Don’t these sheep get it? I will remain in a free state.
Gotta be the Fluoride in the water !
I wonder if they all got their number tattoos on their forearms, too? Is it time to start shooting yet?
The “push back” to all this has to start at the local level. Colorado gun owners and sportsmen have already started to turn back similar legislation by using recall petitions to unseat the politicians responsible. Voters have a good chance to change the U.S. Senate in November. Vote for Freedom in 2014!
We can’t fault those law abiding citizens lined up to comply with the new law, after all, laws are like locks, they are honored by honest citizens, not criminals or those who will become a criminal. Amazing that the CT govt will come after those who do not comply with this feel good registration scheme. Instead of registering firearms and law abiding citizens, how about criminal registration? You want to commit a crime, you will need a mandatory ‘Permit to Crime’ 24 hours in advance of the criminal act you want to commit. Sounds great just like the garbage registration… Read more »
our Nazi style government is feeding us poison water/food and pumping the weak full of drugs which is turning them into sheep with no balls to through the scumbags out of office.I forgot they are the ones who put then in office in the first place. I will register mine when HELL FREEZES OVER
This is disturbing; it will be interesting to see what next for firearm owners in Connecticut the Communist State.
