“You also need to buy me a new keyboard! I just spewed perfectly good Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve, on this one! LOL!”

You knew the risks when you came here.

Was this from Pravda or a allied newspaper? Putin is probably creaming in his jeans reading how safe CT, NJ, and Mass are.

Was, Colt? Smith and Wesson maybe? Ruger?

Springfield arms was in Taxacheusetts.

Glock I believe is Hq’ed in Georgia, and AIM and Inter Ord were in Virginia AFAIK.

I think it is a sign how out of whack the Several States are when the homes of the Revolutionary War volunteers are now the locus of 2nd amendment disregarding.

I suspect the grading system is skewed by ignorance. As I recall, CT pretty much bans select-fire weapons being owned by private citizens. IOW, you can have fully automatic weapons as long as you can’t choose single-fire.

Remember when you could hunt with lead in your shotgun? I know MANY waterfowl hunters, along with others that have been affected by no-lead shot laws.

They say.....”can’t use this crap, anymore. You want it??”

Hell, yes.....

Buy a gun with your refund?

Absolutley. $500-$600 will take the bit out of a handgun purchase. Even domestic pistols. Even though Bush advanced the Mexican invasion, he's giving you a chance to defend your home.

Fair and balanced I'd say.

Interesting statistics...

Robbery per 100,000 people: Connecticut - 121; Mississippi - 107; Virginia - 101.

Unless the XD was purchased through the custom shop, it’s both made and assembled in Croatia.

Tex, I think the Springfield XD is made in Croatia. Probably more freedom and respect for the US Constitution there than Connecticut, but I don’t think it’s the US.

"The law allows police to apply for warrants to seize guns from the possession of people who pose a threat to themselves or others."

Well, I damn sure am a threat to others, and thereby prolly myself. The author thinks this s%*t is a good thing.

Constitution state my dying a$$!

Doom is right.

Third “best” means third most “restrictive”?

I guess that depends on who is defining “best.”

“Strengthening neighborhood policing will help control illegal guns.”

Sounds like anonymous “snitch” 1-800 numbers aren’t too far away (they’ve had ‘em in D.C. since 1976).

Nor are neighborhood block “watch” committees, either (Cuba, anyone?).

Spying on your neighbors or just “dropping a dime” on someone you don’t like (a fine old Soviet tradition, being revived by the current regime).

So glad I live in the disgusting, decadent, gun-toting socially backward South.

Sarah Brady, why, she can’t stand the likes of us’ns, sho’ nuff.

I guess a perfect score would require internment camps for those who like guns.

Those who say the word gun...
