Connecticut's new gun and magazine registration law is already manufacturing crime

Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy’s plan to manufacture new criminals out of law-abiding citizens is already ensnaring victims:

A Bridgeport man became one of the first persons in the state charged with a misdemeanor under Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s sweeping new gun laws.

Norwalk Police wrote a summons for Tyrone Watson, 30, of Bridgeport, on Sunday for possession of a large capacity magazine on or after Jan. 1, 2014, that was obtained prior to April 5, 2013. His court date is Jan. 17.

An officer stopped Watson’s vehicle on Water Street at 1:25 a.m. Sunday, because the officer felt that Watson was tailgating him, police said. The officer let Watson’s car pass, then pulled him over, police said.

While trying to find his license and registration, Watson took out his pistol permit and quickly put it back, according to police.

The officer asked if Watson had a weapon on him, and Watson replied that he was carrying a gun, police said.

The officer secured the handgun for the duration of the motor vehicle stop and while making the pistol safe, the officer noticed that the pistol had 11 bullets in its magazine and none in its chamber, police said. The magazine had a capacity to hold 15 bullets, according to police.

On other words, Mr. Watson was a law-abiding citizen before Malloy and his citizen-controlling allies rammed through a feel-good law based upon “do something” emotionalism, and now he has committed a gun crime for not registering his standard capacity magazine.

It’s funny… I once heard a rumor that Connecticut was called “The Constitution State.”

It must have been a different time.
