Pending Legislation in Connecticut

[retarmyaviator]

This is being reported by the NSSF.

Legislators in Hartford are in the process of destroying your Second Amendment rights by exploiting recent tragedies. Gov. Malloy, Sen. Beth Bye, and Rep. Bob Godfrey want outright bans and onerous restrictions on your rights through an enormous number of Anti-Gun Bills. Here are a few of the items included in one of their proposals:

•An outright ban on ALL modern sporting rifles classifying them as "Assault Weapons."
•Restricting your ability to defend yourself and family by arbitrarily restricting the magazine size to 10 rounds.
•Confiscating ALL magazines holding more than 10 rounds, pistols included.
•Statewide gun registration for ALL firearms; knowing full well criminals won't ever register their guns.
•Re-registration every 2 years with ever increasing fees.
•Requires permit for any rifle with a pistol grip.
•Limiting how much ammunition you can purchase AND possess.
•Registration of all ammunition purchases.
•Bans internet sales of ammo in Connecticut.
•Mandatory gun storage laws, like the one the U.S. Supreme Court struck down in the Heller decision.

Connecticut Legislators Eye Long List of Gun-Control Measures; Public Hearing Set for Monday, Jan. 28

ban

Every shooting enthusiast and pistol permit holder must speak up and contact their representatives quickly. All of these laws only punish the law abiding citizens, not the criminals. I could not find the part about confiscation of magazines, only a prohibition for more than 10 rounds. How are the police going to find all of the hi cap mags in the state anyway? Door to door searches like the Nazis?

AN ACT CONCERNING THE REDUCTION OF GUN VIOLENCE.

Pretty rough.

That is just insane. So sad that they are using the deaths of those poor kids and turning it into this. None of those measures would have prevented what happened that day.

You have one week to make sure that they can't get anything done in their offices other than answer the phone and respond to email from gun rights supporters.

Email is easy to set up auto-responders to, but not being able to use the phone because all the lines are tied up is hard to ignore.
