imschur Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 This Monday might be the only chance for your voice to be heard before legislators craft legislation that will seriously affect not only your Second Amendment rights, but also rifles and magazines you currently own. Connecticut manufacturers including Colt, Mossberg, Stag Arms, Mec-Gar, OKAY Industries, Ruger and Metalform will be directly affected by this legislation, resulting in the loss of good paying jobs and badly needed tax revenue to the state.The hearing will occur Monday at 10 a.m. at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. Sign-ups and lottery selection for testimony will occur at 9 a.m. Even if you do not plan on testifying please make every attempt to attend. Speaker order will be determined by a lottery at 12:15 p.m., and public testimony will begin at 1:30 p.m. Speakers will be limited to 3 minutes of testimony. You may also choose to bring 30 copies of your testimony to share with members of the Task Force. Those arriving after the completion of the lottery will have their names placed at the end of the speaker list.Gun Violence Prevention Working Group Public Hearing Monday, Jan. 28, 2013 Legislative Office Building 10 a.m., Room 2CThere are numerous anti-gun proposals being considered by the legislature. For example, CT Against Gun Violence has proposed an outright confiscation or destruction of firearms and a ban on the use of roadways for the transportation of firearms and ammunition legally purchased. Click here to view the far-reaching proposals. Even the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM) has proposed a long list of restrictions including registration database of all firearms and limiting purchases to one firearm a month not just handguns but long guns as well. Some legislators want outright bans and onerous restrictions through an enormous number of Anti-Gun Bills. Here are a just few of the items included in one of their proposals: [list type=disc] [*]A ban on all modern sporting rifles classifying them as "Assault Weapons." [*]Arbitrarily restricting the magazine size to 10 rounds and now even 5 or 6 rounds. [*]Confiscating all magazines holding more than 10 rounds, pistols included. [*]Statewide gun registration for all firearms. [*]Re-registration every 2 years with ever increasing fees. [*]Requiring permits for any rifle with a pistol grip. [*]Limits on how much ammunition you can purchase and possess. [*]Registration of all ammunition purchases. [*]Banning of internet sales of ammo in Connecticut. [*]Mandatory gun storage laws, like the one the U.S. Supreme Court struck down in the Heller decision.NSSF is urging all gun owners, sportsmen and hunters to attend Monday's public hearing to be held in the Legislative Office Building in Room 2C at 10 a.m. and to contact their state representative, senator and all members of the Committee immediately, urging them to oppose ill-considered, fast-track legislation.Contact members of the Task Force.Find your elected officials here.--------------------------- Visit NSSF's Government Relations site at nssf.org/GovRel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm not shocked, but in a way, I am.The idiocy involved in crafting this legislation astounds me. They call it a Gun Violence Prevention Working Group. However, nothing they put forward, pass, enact, make law, etc., will have any kind of impact on Gun Violence. In the least.They should just be honest about it - as if a politician could fathom such a thing - and call it "We Don't Want Any Subjects Citizens Of CT To Own Guns.."Fucking SICKENING is what it is.So far, I've nailed NY, MA, CA, and CT. As soon as NJ finishes their proposals and pass them, and WA comes limping along with some horse poopy... my prediction will be 100%. VT shocked me - didn't see that one coming.

imschur Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 No shock here on Vermont. It's run by "Flatlanders" folks from Ct, NY and Mass that loved the postcard Vermont life so much that they moved their and force their influence on locals. Also make no mistake Vermont has a lot of residents hooked on state aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I hear ya Rene. It is Fucked up. But just the way that Tom has predicted in some of the other states. I've been waiting to hear what "the free state" Ppppfff, was gonna come out with. I can't say that I'm surprised by it though. This state has had screwed up gun laws for quite some time. I mean, where else can you not have more than 20 round mags, but yet buy a belt fed machine gun.I hate this fuckin place! I hate the DC area. DC, Maryland and (northern) Virginia. I hate the elected num-nuts that are in control of it. I hate the stupid sheep that get in your way on the roads.....constantly. I hate the stupid (give your rights away) sheep every-fuckin-where I go.AAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!okay.....now that i got that outta my system.....................................

The transplants come here because the economic environment is good but then want to recreate the same entitlement state that they left because no one could find a job.
