| “Lost or Stolen” Firearms Bill Becomes Reality in Connecticut! |
| Friday, June 08, 2007 |
|
After four years of successfully keeping the “lost or stolen” firearms bill from becoming law in Connecticut, the State House caved into anti-gun rhetoric and passed Senate Bill 938.
SB 938 will make it a crime to fail to report the loss or theft of a handgun to police within 72 hours of when you “discover or should have discovered” it missing. This law will also trigger two more investigations to determine whether or not you “should have discovered” the missing handgun and whether or not you are a “gun trafficker.”
Unfortunately, State Representative Arthur O'Neill (R-69) and Republican Minority Leader Larry Cafero (R-142) were responsible for brokering the compromise that resulted in this defeat. However, even their compromise would not have been possible without the “yes” vote of many in the Republican caucus.
Please take the time to contact those Legislators who voted “ Yes” to turning crime victims into criminals and voice your strong disappointment in their support for this bill. Legislators can be reached at (860) 240-0100 or for help identifying your Legislator and further contact information please click here.

Also, please take a moment to call those Legislators who voted “No” and thank them for standing up for law-abiding gun owners.

RINOs are all you can get in CT.
And this stupid idiotic law keeps guns out of criminals hands how? That’s right it doesn’t do a fraking thing to criminals at all.
I feel so much safer.
These idiots are guaranteeing the more innocent people will be hurt and killed by criminals who will rejoyce at yet more laws to punish law abiding citizens and disarm the people. These legislators are CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT in passing these types of idiotic laws.
“should have discovered”
Chalk up another for the un-American libtard gun grabbers
Gee, aren’t we glad we have gun registration in this country! /sarc
bump
Personally, I’d like to see these people get mugged.
No Sh&%t. Punnish the lawfull, meanwhile the criminal gets amnesty.
Personally, decency and superstition prevents me from saying what I wish would happen to such folks.
CT has become nothing more than a bedroom of NY.
After watching how the Boston Globe tried to smear the ex-marine that acted as a good samaritan I would be confused on whether or not I should interfere and stop the mugging from taking place.
Would I be an accessory?
Would I be liable in a lawsuit?
Would my military backround turn this into an automatic use of a deadly weapon?
This is what will cause the triumph of evil.
“RINOs are all you can get in CT.”
You oughta live in Maine!! AGH!!!!
““should have discovered””
Thats sufficiently vague to ensure the prosecutors can make all kinds of baseless charges.
Another “foot in the door” to harass gun owners and NOT the criminals.
Foot in the door?! Heck, they're camping in the living room! Have been for decades. And the camel (not just his nose) has taken a dump inside the tent.
Sure it does, it creates criminals
We are now the most liberal state in the union, outside of San Francisco
just wait until Gat Marriage is legal here.
Does Sodom and Gomorrah sound familiar?
Well this is bloody great for me. That’ll make owning a gun all the more fun.
Thanks for the ping, FRiend, but I no longer run the Connecticut ping list...
Do you know who has it?
what’s the details on that. I would like to know. Thanks.
