From the Examiner:
A showdown is developing between a sizable number of Connecticut state police officers and the politicians who passed into law highly restrictive gun control, gun bans, and bans on high capacity magazines.
Gun rights legal expert and activist David Hardy reported Friday that 250 law enforcement officers in Connecticut have signed an open letter stating that they will not enforce the new anti-gun and magazine laws, which they consider to be a violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
A major news story on these developments is due to be published soon, but Hardy received an advanced notice via email from Tyler Jackson, the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers Association, the organization that sent the open letter.

It will be interesting to watch fed reaction. How long before govt agencies like IRS/ACA/pension/union bring individual 'pressures' against resistance?
When 250 law enforcement officers peacefully decline to enforce a law that many people see can only cause bloodshed and destroyed lives, we have a form of jury verdict on it.
For any who have served on a jury, there are two considerations that relate to this tyrannous situation.
1) The government in the form of the prosecution and the judge will not hesitate to hammer the jurors about the oath they were forced to take when they were empanelled. Turnabout is fair play: it is time for every lover of liberty in CT to hammer, hammer, hammer law enforcement personnel, especially those at the lower levels, about the oath they took to the Constitution as it is easily read, not the Constitution their bosses tell them about;
2) In most states a super-majority of jurors is required to convict. It only takes a few, sometimes only one juror who refuses to believe the government spin on the facts in order to turn a sure conviction into an acquittal. Of the few thousand law enforcement officers in CT, how few will have to show resolve and refuse to endorse this new law before the resolve of the entire LE establishment crumbles? Nobody can really say.
