WOW!!!! When I first glanced at
THAT headline my cigarette fell out of my fingers into the receiving tray of one of my reloading presses. In lieu of what's been happening up in CT I thought Malloy was the governor that
FURTHER lost his cookies for real. Yea, our oldest daughter has one of her lap tops set up on the reloading bench and here I am reloading 22.250's while scoping the latest on FR. Thank you for posting it neighbor. (Even though I thought I was having a heart attack LOL)
IN LIBERTY!!!!

Back then the citizens of Connecticut would be telling Govenor Tryon to Kiss their ass, today, maybe they’ll tell Govenor Malloy and the morons in Hartford that we had enough. Maybe, the Connecticut gun owners in November will remove the anti gun Marxisrd and turn Connecticut back to a lighter blue state.

He was doing it so that the subjects of His Sovereign Majesty, George III, King by the Grace of God of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, could not raise their hands in defiance to his royal will.

I hope he was shot dead before the confiscation began ... that’s what all tyrants deserve.
