Connecticut Limits Number of Handguns Law-Abiding Citizens Can Purchase
The Hill ^ | 10/02/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

On Sunday, Connecticut’s new gun control limiting the number of handguns a law-abiding citizen can purchase each month went into effect.

NPR reported that State Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney (D) praised the new restriction but is not satisfied with it. He “wants to pursue further limits on monthly gun purchases.”

Looney also wants to secure a microstamping requirement in Connecticut.

Citizens should limit the number of words their civil servants can say.

Odd, no limits on how many violent criminals can own.

Of course if your state says you can buy one a month, then you should honor their recommendation and purchase one a month. Actually makes it easy to budget that way... :)

What the need is for the SCOTUS to rule that they have acted in bad faith wrt 2nd amendment rights passing laws they knew to be unconstitutional. As such, they should be required to get pre-clearance from the federal courts in order to enact any gun legislation at all.

Also, they "did away" with open carry (now concealed only).

Feel safer now?

so, did they pass any legislation limiting the number of firearms the “non law abiding thugs” can own?

Asking for a democrat friend who believes laws aren’t written for them.

We need to restrict free speech: One word per month for any elected official.

Can’t limit how many guns a month they can lend or borrow though. Let’s start a “gun library”.

But who will enforce these rulings? DOJ, Congree, the Executive Branch?

Yeah, it is pretty obvious.

My take was, "Then despite the lstA, they believe they have the right to limit the number of unoffensive words one can speak during a 30 day period."

Citizens should be able to deduct pay whenever Legislator enacts anything that limits our Constitutional rights. In about 2 weeks they’d be at $0 salary, and at 4 weeks they’d be far indebted to us.

Sure glad my state's interpretation of the same constitution is a bit different. Hopefully the supreme court quickly slaps this down, maybe takes a broader approach that all state and local laws are void as infringement on the constitution.

Can I under similar interpretation, make only one online 1st amendment statement per month?

You know the US Supreme Court must really get tired of having to slap the same stupid Democrat tricks down in state after state
