Connecticut firearm ban 2013

[BoringGuy45]

Single shot firearms only? really? This is your ask for a mile and get an inch technique. This is what were up against. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/TOB/S/201...122-R00-SB.htm

I say let 'em vote on this bill. It won't stand up to constitutional muster. Every gun today in common use is multi-shot and DC v. Heller ruled that weapons in common use are protected by the Constitution.

With that ruling, and the AR-15 being the most commonly used kind of rifle in the U.S., it's possible that even an assault weapons ban might be found unconstitutional...

Hopefully it will pass, to get a ruling based on the SCOTUS dicta “arms in common use.”

I wish you guys the best of luck. I was looking at some jobs in Connecticut. Out of the states in the try state area, you guys are (hopefully not WERE) the most gun friendly.

You're obviously not including Vermont or New Hampshire

All that has to happen is for Colt, Ruger, and Mossberg to threaten to pack up and leave and take thousands of jobs with them. Last I heard, Colt was already considering Florida for their right to work laws, and any new law could push them over the edge.

I would love to see this happen.

If these companies (and Smith and Wesson and whoever else are in states like this) moved to free, right to work states they would end up making more money and being in a better position to move in to the future. Several states are looking at or have passed "sovereignty" laws.

I would love to see it, it's a win win for everyone except the tax base in communist states.

quite a turnout at the LOB in Hartford tonight. I noted a total of 1499 public speakers signed up on the roster printout. The VAST majority pro 2nd. Did anyone here make it to the hearing today? I was #742.

yup. i would guess a few dozen antis at most.

took an hour to get through security, and i thought i got there early. darn near froze.

i think this was the biggest pro-gun turnout in recent CT history (i'm told the largest one was a while ago when the CGA wanted to ban handguns).
