So the anti-gun politicians bused in a bunch of kids from their schools to be props and body-count for their rally.

Why isn’t this waste of taxpayer money being investigated?

So eager to make criminals out of law abiding citizens.

A little background on the group that organized this event, “Connecticut Against Gun Violence.” They are advocating for CONFISCATION of all “assault weapons” and mags over 7 rnds. Registration of all hand guns, renewed annual with background checks and fees.

They also skipped the school safety and mental health hearings in CT.

These people are misguided on so many levels . . . a failure to recognize (much less even understand) the Second Amendment . . . a failure to recognize that stricter gun control laws would have done little (if anything at all) in preventing the crimes by a few crazed individuals . . . these people are like Don Quixote imagining that the windmills are their enemies . . . these people also are terribly sick for exploiting tragedy as a platform to express their misguided self-righteousness.

Well, they inadvertently created a target-rich environment.

Fine. Fight for it for your own state. Leave the rest of us alone. Try Federalism for once - it’s pretty sweet.

They started a chant.

“We need more laws for guns!
Criminals take all our fun!
If we stopped all gun rights,
Criminals would have to steal ‘em at night!”

“Uh, wait a sec...”

“We might have a problem here...”

I was at an anti-gun rally in Maryland a week ago. At least 5,000 in attendance. The main difference? Zero buses and I bet 80% took a day off work.

"If we have to register to vote, we might as well register our guns," Wyman said.

Nice point - how about filling out a full page form and undergoing a background check before each vote you want to cast?
