Three midterm votes point to potential shift in gun-rights battle
"The success of gun-control proponents and proposals in Washington, Colorado, and Connecticut in Tuesday's midterm election marks the biggest setbacks for US gun owners in years."
Yet, at least some of the gun-rights grass-roots activists saw the election as a warning knell.
Gun-related votes were a “mixed bag, but where it counted – Colorado, Connecticut, and Washington State – our side lost big-time,” says Mike Vanderboegh, a Second Amendment activist and former militia leader based in Alabama.
The affirmation of the Malloy administration in Connecticut, especially, says Mr. Vanderboegh, raises new questions about what the returning governor is planning to do about gun owners who fail to register their semiautomatic rifles and large magazines under a new law signed by Governor Malloy last year.
With Malloy back in office, “the noise that you’re hearing that’s drowning out GOP triumphalism is the ‘snick-snick’ of cleaning rods going through rifles,” Vanderboegh says.
The registry law has been met with widespread disdain, with an estimated 100,000 gun owners refusing to either register their weapons or ship them out of state.

We here in WA got crapped on.
Another chip in the 2A, and they keep chipping.
Is there any org out there that truly stands up to defend the 2A and has the ass to do so?
Too little too late is all I see.
its not going to be pretty.
Let us not underestimate the 'native' mind for remember:
"Blood understood the Native mind.
He said : " We must be firm but kind."
A Mutiny resulted.
I never shall forget the way
That Blood upon this awful day
Preserved us all from death.
He stood upon a little mound,
Cast his lethargic eyes around,
And said beneath his breath :
Whatever happens we have got
The Maxim Gun, and they have not."
Yet later understood:
"But still these bureaucrats pursued,
Until they reached the Captain's tent.
They grew astonishingly rude ;
The Russian simply insolent,
Announcing that he had been sent
Upon a holy mission,
To call for the disarmament
Of all our expedition.
He said " the miseries of war
Had touched his master to the core "
Thus having arms and not the will to prevail simply leads to disaster!

From the article:
“If you haven’t declared it or registered it and you get caught ... you’ll be a felon,” Mike Lawlor, Malloy’s so-called “gun czar,” said last year.
No big deal. We are felons three times a day anyway due to inadvertent violations of tyrannical law. Might as well become felons on purpose too...
Of course all this becomes moot if a war is touched off. There is no gun control in a war, nor are there any laws at all. All that is left, is will and action.
