Homicides continue to fall pretty much everywhere. Semi automatic rifles are used in a tiny fraction of homicides, and so I doubt an assault weapon ban could possibly have anything to do with it.
I'm going shooting with my daughter tomorrow.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Governor Dannel Malloy is asking gun sellers, both in-state and out of state, to voluntarily stop selling semi-automatic weapons on Father’s Day, June 19th.
Malloy asks sellers to do this as a sign of respect to the fathers and parents who lost children in the Orlando nightclub shooting.
“We are calling on Connecticut gun sellers to avoid all semi-automatic weapons sales on Father’s Day for one reason. We should show respect, through a symbolic gesture, to those who’ve lost loved ones in Orlando,” Gov. Malloy said.
Since 2013, Connecticut has prohibited the AR-15 and the Sig Saucer MCX and has since seen a decrease in violent crimes.

Please GFY Mr/Ms Malloy, as the case may be.
The statistics seem questionable. A ban doesn’t surprise me a bit.
Seriously? My hubby and I plan to go shooting on Fathers Day. If he’s nice he might even get something new to shoot.
Best time to buy a gun for dad.

It's where this guy sets his tea cup, I guess.
I’m picking up the cutest revolver to Celebrate Father’s day,
That rotten kid will never see it!
Another case of libs seeing what they want to see, i.e. confirmation bias and correlation does not mean causation. This also follows the pattern from some recent CDC data I’ve seen on firearm deaths where it’s obvious that your likelihood of being killed by a firearm is extremely small if you don’t hang out in the hood, involve yourself in crime or plan to commit suicide by firearm.
Two things. First, Father’s Day is on a Sunday, so most gun stores will likely be closed anyway. Second, since I already have an AR-15, I really would like a Sig Saur ACX, but I’m afraid they will soon become scarce and prohibitively expensive.
Whoops, make that the MCX.
I'm with you, I think the books are cooked. But even if they aren't, nothing remarkable happened in 2013 that wasn't also apparent in 2012, 2011, etc. Each year saw a reduction from the year previous.
Fully automatic kitten feeder.
Won’t most gun shops be closed on Father’s day (Sunday)? the one nearest me is closed on Sunday.
In Malloy’s case... Voter fraud.
>>I wish I had your problem. I like thousands of others, lost all my firearms in a terrible boating accident.
I still have all of mine and I’m not afraid to say so. It was a cute joke for while, but now it just reeks in a way that undermines the Second Amendment.
The time when you want to bury your guns is the exact time that you need to dig them up!
There are enough liberals/Democrats and commies in their states to keep them in office. Sane people have left the state for freer lands or have just hunkered down, hoping to wait the enemy out.
If Malloy wants to stop the killing and hate, then he can shut up forever, which wills top his hatre of loyal and sane Americans, and will stop the killing of peoples’ gray cells.
New England seems to breed more insane politicians proportionally than does New York and the Left Coast. Most be something in the water.
lol
And to hire some ugly democrat women to walk around the parking lots topless - that’ll send a real anti-gun message....
How about we accelerate the use of the Death Penalty instead? Mother of child Murdered with a 2 ft section of FENCE POST, by a Sociopath killer who just wanted the JOLLIES to see what it felt like to kill. Well the ASS AG gave the prep a big break, M1 down to M2 median sentence, 2 years to get that, 10 months later first of 6 parole hearings. Made the INJUSTICE SYSTEM max out his good 'behavior' time out of those 20 years, he now walks Tennessee a free man...and I CCW.
How do these morons breathe without constant instructions to do so?
