Veterans shouldn't have to pay taxes? Oh lawd...
Veterans: Veterans that have served in a combat theatre, that have seen enemy conflict, that have bore the burdens of war and come home forever changed have paid enough in taxes and should be exempt from local, state and federal taxes. Those that stood ready to defend our nation should be given every opportunity to excel through higher education and job security while also receiving the medical and disability benefits they have earned while in the service of our nations protection. This is a promise that was made to them and one that must be honored and protected from political gridlock. View Quote This guy thinks way too highly of himself.... |

May be dupe, looked back a few pages didn't see it posted.

“Do I support overturning the ban on assault weapons?” Answer: So long as any person that owns an assault weapon goes through the same training and annual qualifications I did, then yes, yes I do support overturning the ban. In the mean time, for those of you that don’t want to go through this type of training and qualification program you can still go to the store and get yourself a rifle, a pistol, a shotgun and ammunition for each. Nobody, (despite the frenzy of misinformation on this topic) not even here in the legislative dysfunctional state of CT, is coming to take guns from law-abiding citizens.

If he is talking about the liberal definition of "assault weapons" then I say fuck him. But Rome wasn't built in a day. I can see a form of this being used for real assault rifles as a stepping stone to repealing the NFA and the 86 automatic weapons ban. The nation will never go for an all in one return to conservatism. But feed it to them in little bites and it might work. Unfortunately I think he is using the liberal definition. So FUCK NO!

Some more from Mr. Gaita from the Bethel, CT Patch back in early 2013. GUN CONTROL - Common Sense Solutions Do Exist Dan Gaita January 06, 2013 at 03:05 PM
And for those completely unwilling to relent on their Constitutional right to possess Assault Weapons, how about this "Gun Control" measure: 1. In order to purchase and possess any type of "Assault Weapon" one must do the following: 1. Take a two week intensive (assault weapons) firearms safety and qualification course (like in any of the Armed Forces) 1b. for veterans, present a copy of your DD-214 2. Must pass qualification (like in any other Armed forces or protective service that issues assault weapons) - including citing in, preventative maintenance, and immediate action safety measures. 1b. for veterans, present a copy of your DD-214 3. Must pass a test on the laws governing the use of deadly force and firearms rules and regulations. 4. FBI background check 5. 2 week waiting period for any purchase 6. Registered location (physical address) of assault weapon. 7. Owner operated biometric trigger lock. I'd personally be willing to do all of the above and do not see any of that as an encroachment of my rights. As I read through the initial doc that started this thread, his various Facebook postings, and now this opinion from 2013 I am struck by his constant use of the words "assault weapon" and relying on, or deferring to, the state's definition of what one is as the basis for what he thinks is a reasonable encroachment upon HIS rights. The problem he has is that the state's definition of an "assault weapon" is based SOLEY on arbitrary cosmetic features that DO NOT impact the operation of the firearm. To make matters worse for his particular view, the state reduced the feature count that defines an assault weapon from two to one on April 4, 2013. To show how ill thought out his position is. I find it down right crazy (to put it mildly) to think that simply adding a pistol grip stock and or a flash hider to a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle that I've had in my possession for more than 15 years would mean, in HIS opinion, that I should now be required (under some threat of unstated state sanctioned punishment) to take training and requalification just so I could retain possession of it. I've been trained with an AR, and have never once had to cite in my weapon. I always thought AR's came Cited in from the factory. You mean I actually have to go outside and shoot it to get it Cited. Damn now I have to buy some Bullets. |

The army was tasked with rounding up the warlords while the Marines were tasked with protecting humanitarian shipments and keeping a patrol presence.
