-— I still live in Ct, but not for much longer.

Your description of Ct’s steep decline is depressingly true. ——

I have a liberal relative who moved to a pretty rough part of New Britain. On purpose.

You can’t fix stupid.

Participating in a gun buy back because you believe that the criminals have too many guns, is like having yourself castrated because you believe the neighbors have too many kids.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

I know. It is a horrible thing. I am proud of those folks who work around the cops to rescue the good guns.
I was just pointing out that some guns ARE crap and if you can make a few bucks off the Hoplophobes with ‘em it is a good thing!

It has been stated by high government officials as fact: “You have a right to be stupid”!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Yep, you have a right to stumble and fall off the “mile high swinging bridge” at Grandfather Mountain, you also have the right to go splat at the bottom. The high government officials never seem to explain to the dingalings that you don’t have the right to avoid the consequences of your stupidity.

“...a state once so famous across the nation for production of quality firearms that won the West.”

Oh, yes, back in the sixties people who ran small machine shops in the South were waiting many months for a chance to by a “Bridgeport”, a small milling machine that every shop wanted. I worked in the engineering office of a bearing factory that depended mainly on talent imported from Connecticut to keep things running. What happened?

On the bright side, New Britain has a lovely (and cheap) municipal golf course: Stanley. The carts have GPS even.

A quaranteen zone for the useful idiots.
