Ct. law would make you instant felon

The <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/262834/ct-considers-confiscating-la... Review</a> discusses a law being considered in Connecticut which would make you a felon if you don't turn in your "high-capacity" magazine.

This appears to be illegal, unconstitutional, and simply ignorant... yet it's being discussed as if it could happen.

<blockquote>Connecticut’s bill is worse than unenforceable; it is unconstitutional. Perhaps realizing that a grandfather clause would make the ban worthless, CT legislators stipulate that anyone who owns large-capacity magazines will have 90 days to turn them over to the government, without compensation, so the magazines can be destroyed. Citizens who fail to hand in their magazines will be guilty of a class D felony. This will almost certainly prompt legal challenges to the government’s authority to confiscate private property. http://bit.ly/faNJ1a

It doesn't take much imagination to see that this bill would make those lawmakers on the wrong side of the law for doing this... as it flies in the face of the US Constitution and other state and federal laws, as well as Common Law.

Shall we wait and see how this turns out? And one has to wonder if our own New Hampshire lawmakers are watching the outcome as well.
