This Governor Malloy is one Dumb SOB. Increasing taxes on permit holders is going to make people safe.NO it’s Not.

Preventing people from carry their guns in church and in Nursery School.Malloy is planning on turning those two locations into free killing zones.

The. The dip wants to change the definition of what an assault weapon is. That’s the problem he and the political clowns in Connecticut have No Idea what an assault weapon is.So how can they get an accurate definition?

>>No guns in houses of worship

LOL! I'd love to see them send their goons to orthodox synagogues and Chabad houses and try to enforce this.

This site is intended to first establish a “naughty list” of states from which freedom-minded people should definitely beat feet...

then they will have folks from other states try to convince folks that theirs is the best state to move to to maximize your personal freedom.

The more I think about it, the more I think these bans on guns in houses of worship are put in place to intentionally turn worshippers into sitting ducks for attacks by government or mobs unofficially sanctioned by government.

If some nut wants to shoot up a church, the ban on guns won’t deter him from carrying them into the church, and I’d think churches would be at or near the bottom of this list of places where random gun violence is likely to break out.

I have to laugh at the Reform synagogues that put an unarmed, 65-year-old fat guy in a security uniform in the parking lot to “protect” worshippers at important holiday services. But it’s no joke.

When these laws prove to do nothing to stop gun violence, they will insist that the problem is that they didn’t go far enough! It is the way with liberals in everything.

Hey, that's serious threat absorption. With the standard FBI 12" bullet penetration protocol, that guy is going to absorb a lot of lead.

Should put in place a $10,000 fee to murder your mother.

That would have stopped the Sandy Hook shooter. Where’s a kid going to get that kind of money?

I contacted Ruger about my SR9. The mags hold 17 rounds. They responded that they have no plans to modify or provide a mag with less than ten rounds. What the hell am I going to do? My pistol will be useless.

Go to a neighboring gun friendly state and buy your mags with cash. Then smuggle them back and shut up.

Or get a mail box address in a nearby gun friendly state and have mags mailed there.

The State of CT can pass anything they please. Now let them enforce it.

If the politicians start using public union cops to enforce tyranny on the people, then they are playing with nitroglycerin. When a union cop-thug murders a citizen, the MSM will not be able to spike the story because it will get out. When government loses its legitimacy, then that government is doomed.

Don't believe it? You could ask the former communists who ran the economic basket case known as East Germany. When the Border Guards refused to fire on Germans at The Wall and waked off the job, when the people turned on the Stasi [State Security] and the oppressors found they were a minority, the East German regime came crashing down..

If the politicians and union cop-thugs start hunting all these newly created felons to intimidate or murder them as an example; if they come to confiscate guns; how long before the tormentors are hunted?

The persecuted will fall on their tormentors with a vengeance. Those who have meted out death without quarter will have it meted out to them and their families. In this “them” versus “us” fight, the “them” live among us and we know who and where they are. There are more of “us” than there are of “them”. Should they wish to sew the wind, they will reap the whirlwind.
