We got screwed. Now we move on to fighting in the courts.

We called, we e-mailed, we testified verbally & in writing at hearings and none of it seems to have made a difference. Unfortunately I doubt more the 5% of the gunowners here did anything.

 

It's never been Republican vs Democrat when it comes to gun rights here in CT since the Democrats have enough of a majority to pass anything they want, but some of the Democrats in this state stood by gun owners. On the other hand the Republican leadership worked hand in hand with the Democratic leadership to write the bill.

Senate 26-10: of the nays 2 Democrats & 8 Republicans voted against
the bill; 6 Republicans voted FOR the bill.

House 103-46: of the nays 14 Democrats & 32 Republicans voted against the bill; 19 Republicans voted for the bill.

Some of those people that voted for SB1160 were A rated by the NRA prior to this. My two:

Sen Doyle-D had an A rating

Rep Carpino-R had at least a B+ rating

Sad.

 

And you read the comments and some of those people actually believe the law will hep reduce crime....

Hello,

 

Political posts are only allowed on the Team SASS forum. I'll move this and see what Dan wants to do with it.
