(CT)Gun Control Advocates Amazed At How Far The Gun Bill Goes; Toughest In The Nation
Hartford Courant Capitol Watch ^

Posted on 04/01/2013 7:33:36 PM PDT by matt04

Lobbyists Betty Gallo and Ron Pinciaro have been pushing for gun control for years with mixed success.

As a result, Gallo was stunned Monday at the sweeping nature of a bipartisan bill on assault weapons, ammunition, magazines, and background checks that could pass in the state legislature as early as Wednesday.

“This is really amazing,” Gallo said in an interview.

She added, “Two years ago, we lost a ban on high-capacity magazines, and we couldn’t get it out of the judiciary committee.”

Today, the proposed ban on the magazines is highly comprehensive. The bill calls for the immediate ban on the sale, purchase and importation of the magazines. Buying, selling, importing or transferring the magazines for free would be a Class D felony. The maximum penalty for a Class D felony is five years in prison and a fine of $5,000.

Ron Pinciaro, the executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence for the past 11 years, said, “This couldn’t have happened in any other state in any other year.”

“This couldn’t have happened in any other state in any other year.”

Translated: This is only possible because I have a bunch of dead kids to use as a stage.

And this bill, if passed and implemented, will serve to attract even more mad dog killers to Connecticut ~

So, tell us, just what is there about Connecticut that they feel this need to protect the mad dog killers in their state?

That is perfect, but will not make a ping in either of the libtards’ brain cells.

Cells? That implies more than one, which is a stretch to begin with.

More laws that do nothing. CT already had the toughest gun laws on the books ... yet they still failed. Stuck on stupid.

This is a power grab. It’s another law that enables the overlords to have a reason to batter ram your door and shoot your dog, and take your kids, and leave you with a tremendous lawyer bill that will cost you your life savings, and all the while ruin your reputation etc.

Just to be clear.

Owning a box with an internal spring will turn you into a Felon. You will serve time in Prison and be fined $5,000.

Sneaking into this Country, stealing someone’s Identity and Voting in our Elections will get you Amnesty and the undying love, respect and pity of the Democrat’s, RINO’s, Communist’s, Progressive’s, Journalist’s and Hollywood.
