Despite living in CT, I am not a lawyer and don't understand all the intricacies of the unconstitutional new law passed. However, it is my understanding that only "assault weapons" will have to be registered. Rifles, shotguns and pistols will only require a permit to buy/carry.

Is this just shoddy reporting or am I missing something?

Heck, that’s nothing to brag about. In my rural West Virginia town, I bet guns outnumber trees....

[Dr. Sivana]

Every one of those towns has a very low crime rate (I lived in Hampton for a year). They are mostly rural, so a gun is used as a tool as well as self defense. You may as well ask if someone has a chain saw or socket set.

If I were a gun nut, I’d have enough to arm my subdivision

Only in “some” Connecticut towns? There really is a problem here.

Every household should have:

For every adult:
1 .45ACP combat pistol
1 .308 battle rifle
1 12ga shotgun

For every child over the age of ten:
1 .22LR rifle
1 .22LR pistol
1 .410 shotgun

Plus whatever hobby and collectible firearms they might find useful - hunting guns, target guns, etc.

There is no such thing as an Assault weapon.
How does one define it?
Cain Killed Abel with what? a rock or a stick?
Samson killed a thousand men with the with the jawbone of an ass.
Ban Asses!

If you ask me WHY DOES THE MEDIA KNOW THIS ??!!

[DeWalt]

In more than a dozen Connecticut towns,guns outnumber people and the number of legally registered guns is on the rise.

Y’all be good subjects and tell who’s got em.

Sounds like a place where I would love to live......if it wasn’t in CT.

Is this just shoddy reporting or am I missing something?

If the topic is firearms or the Second Amendment and the publication is a U.S. "news" paper or television station, the odds are extremely high the reporting isn't shoddy, but flagrantly biased.

Blind hatred never sees very far ahead.

What the Lame Stream Media's dares not print at the risk of undermining their Liberal agenda: the Newtown Police Department is heavily back-logged with with pistol permit applications.

[Puppage]

Yes. As it stands now, you only need a permit to purchase a handgun. You can buy long guns w/o a permit, but you’ll have to wait the 2 weeks for a background check before you can take it home. If you have a permit, you can leave with it right then. The ridiculous laws will change that.

Up here guns outnumber revenooers`s sweat drops.

[Kickass Conservative]

Since Liberals blame Guns instead of the Criminals who use them while committing a crime, how can there be more Guns than People?

By now the Gun Majority would have shot and killed the People Minority according to Liberal Logic. Yes, I know Liberals have no idea what Logic is.

Welcome to Alaska....

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Guns outnumber people in some CT towns

:shrug:

I would bet in all US towns screwdrivers outnumber people.

Is that a problem?

If not then why not?
