Future Gun Control for CT in 2013

[JohnC]

Have a look on the senatedems.CT.gov site at new gun legislation coming out in 2013: [url]http://www.senatedems.ct.gov/pr/bye-121220.php[/url] [quote]Sen. Bye and Rep. Godfrey‘s proposals—which will be packaged as one bill—will seek to: •Prohibit the sale and possession of any rifle, shotgun or pistol magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rounds; •Expand the definition of an ‘assault weapon’ under current Connecticut state law to apply to firearms which exhibit just one particular physical trait, as opposed to two (i.e., the presence of a pistol grip beneath the action of the weapon); •Require the registration with state law enforcement officials—and the biennial registration renewal—of all firearms by model and serial number; •Institute a 50-percent sales tax on the sale of ammunition and firearms magazines; •Require a permit to purchase ammunition; •Prohibit the online purchase of ammunition; •Prohibit the purchase of ammunition in Connecticut by anyone who is not legally authorized to possess a firearm in Connecticut; •Prohibit the storage of firearms and ammunition in a manner that allows access by persons under age 18.

It's so easy to see how they use these tragedies to strip law abiding people's rights. If Guns are so bad than none of the police should have them, no Govt officials should have protection and the president should get rid of the Secret Service immediately. But they won't because anyone would half a brain knows firearms are the most effective solution for self defense. The simple fact is our leaders want us all to be unarmed and thus conquered. Just like virtually everywhere else on the globe. I beg you not to go along with this agenda. We must stand up for our rights and make our voices heard and yes, if necessary make a show of force.

 

I feel sad for the cowards in that state who will just sit back and let this happen. I really do. It's so outside the bounds of our Constitution that it's laughable. 

 

Gentlemen, the only way we stop this is grab our loaded rifles and handguns and march down to the capital and demand they do not tread on our rights and show them plainly and visibly that we will resist by force of arms. There are only a Million total LEO in the entire country. We outnumber all of them if even one percent of us show we will not cede our rights. A majority of LEO's will not attempt to confiscate our weapons. I know from conversations with many friends on the job around the country. Sirs, this is getting seriously close to the proverbial line in the sand. What are you all planning to do?

Pretty draconian stuff, but I am not shocked. I could see this as a outline of new national gun control legislation.  I don't think this would be approved out of Washington in it's entirety, though.

This is a line copied from that CT.gov website:

 

“We have a unique opportunity to revisit our regulations and update them."

 

 

Absolutely disgusting exploitation of a tragedy

Please see if you can post up a link to that statement if you don't mind.  I looked around their website but didn't see it.  I want to get a screen shot in case it disappears.   I intend on sending some nice notes to some folks on that statement.   That there my friend is more than "absolutely disgusting".

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, a Pulitzer Prize nominated author, West Point psychology professor, and without a doubt the world’s foremost expert on human aggression and violence gives his Five D's on protecting our schools

1. Denial — Denial is the enemy and it has no survival value, said Grossman.

2. Deter — Put police officers in schools, because with just one officer assigned to a school, the probability of a mass murder in that school drops to almost zero

3. Detect — We’re talking about plain old fashioned police work here. The ultimate achievement for law enforcement is the crime that didn’t happen, so giving teachers and administrators regular access to cops is paramount.

4. Delay — Various simple mechanisms can be used by teachers and cops to put time and distance between the killers and the kids.

a. Ensure that the school/classroom have just a single point of entry. Simply locking the back door helps create a hard target.

b. Conduct your active shooter drills within (and in partnership with) the schools in your city so teachers know how to respond, and know what it looks like when you do your response.

5. Destroy — Police officers and agencies should consider the following:

a. Carry off duty. No one would tell a firefighter who has a fire extinguisher in his trunk that he’s crazy or paranoid.

b. Equip every cop in America with a patrol rifle. One chief of police, upon getting rifles for all his officers once said, “If an active killer strikes in my town, the response time will be measured in feet per second.”

c. Put smoke grenades in the trunk of every cop car in America. Any infantryman who needs to attack across open terrain or perform a rescue under fire deploys a smoke grenade. A fire extinguisher will do a decent job in some cases, but a smoke grenade is designed to perform the function.

d. Have a “go-to-war bag” filled with lots of loaded magazines and supplies for tactical combat casualty care.

e. Use helicopters. Somewhere in your county you probably have one or more of the following: medevac, media, private, national guard, coast guard rotors.

f. Employ the crew-served, continuous-feed, weapon you already have available to you (a firehouse) by integrating the fire service into your active shooter training. It is virtually impossible for a killer to put well-placed shots on target while also being blasted with water at 300 pounds per square inch.

g. Armed citizens can help. Think United 93. Whatever your personal take on gun control, it is all but certain that a killer set on killing is more likely to attack a target where the citizens are unarmed, rather than one where they are likely to encounter an armed citizen response.

We're stuck in denial.

Unfortunate but true, and the only way out is through education of the masses.

It's on the page that John posted: http://www.senatedems.ct.gov/pr/bye-121220.php

I don't think they'll be making that disappear any time soon since it is a distributed document. Dang that makes me so mad just thinking about them having the balls to say things like that and for it to be tolerated. Edited December 24, 2012 by Sam1

When you can figure out how to educate them. It's bad enough the disagreement within the gun community,

much less liberals, or the low information voters out there.

It is not going to come from Washington, but like in the quoted instance here, from the States.

 

Those who are concerned had best start developing a working relationship with their State Representatives and Senators, speaking at their Churches and to all their relations and acquaintances.  Our enemies mean to destroy us now.
