A federal judge on Thursday upheld Connecticut's tough gun control law that was passed in the wake of the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The stringent law is constitutional, said the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Alfred Covello, denying a legal challenge by a group of gun owners.

“reasonable inferences from substantial evidence”

Hmmm...I am unaware of ANY study showing gun bans reduce violent crime. So what is the “substantial evidence”, other than loudly spoken assertions?

Short answer, zip point squat, to the doodly power, but, then again, you knew that...

Why are gun grabbers so violent? Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence legislator in jail for beating his girlfriend
January 30, 2014

How embarrassing. A Massachusetts low-information legislator is now appearing at the Bay State’s capitol building in handcuffs to testify at hearings.

Who is this Democrat state representative and why is he in cuffs?

His name is Carlos Henriquez.

He’s in cuffs following his conviction for beating the snot out of his then-girlfriend in July 2012.

Democrat inmate lawmaker Rep. Carlos Henriquez is steadfastly refusing to resign his seat, and he is doggedly holding onto his job, trying to execute it from his jail cell while he serves a 6-month jail term – for beating the snot out of that former girlfriend.

The sweet irony here is that Democrat inmate lawmaker Rep. Carlos Henriquez has a been an ardent supporter of the Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence. We think we know why. It’s self-interest as he doesn’t want people in general, and his dating pool of single ladies in particular, to have the means to defend themselves from violent perpetrators like him.

The irony is extra rich as he had the audacity to appear at a Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence event late last year, while his trial was pending following his July 2012 arrest on the domestic violence charge.

I seriously doubt that any of them will take more than token action in response.

It has everything to do with the article and it isn’t racist. It’s an observation of fact. Liberal New England states like Connecticut pass liberal laws and push liberal agendas and then stand up on their moral high ground and say, look at us, we’re tolerant and conservatives are racists. Never mind the fact that, for some strange reason, they are the whitest most unintegrated states in the union. I personally can’t wait for global warming to raise the oceans and drown these sanctimonious rats.
