how the State of Connecticut can pass legislation that is in flagrant violation of standing Federal Law. Public Law 99.308 (attached herein) clearly contains the following language in SEC. 106. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 926.
Section 926 of title 18 of the United States Code is amended— (4) by striking out the last sentence and inserting in lieu thereof "No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners' Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions be established”.
Connecticut law requires registration of all handgun purchases as well as newly passed CT General Assembly Bill No.1160 which adds a host of long guns and magazines to the registration process. Clearly this legislation is diametrically opposed to standing Federal Law 99.308 (Title 18, Chapter 44, Page 244, Section 926).
Not only did the actions by many State Legislators violate this Federal Law they may also have also violated the requirements set forth in Connecticut Statute 2-26 regarding Emergency Certification procedures. It is my understanding that no “facts” supporting the need for emergency certification were submitted and the two day requirement for legislative review was not observed. If these “requirements” contained within the Statute were not met then results of the vote are not legal under Connecticut Law.
