If they do sneak something in, I know that you and others would be welcome out west where there is for now a different attitude. Best of luck to you all.

Not much of a victory if it parrots the 94 AW ban that will (hopefully) sunset in 2004.
Now you are stuck with it forever, or until it gets repealed = FOREVER. |

If you look at the new text, the entire begining, right up to the mention of the .50 caliber ap rounds, is the existing law. |

New York State just did the same thing, almost verbatim. Is it supposed to be somehow comforting that they got away with just mirroring the federal law? My question is, why exactly are they going to all the trouble of having two redudant laws that say exactly the same thing? One is enforceable by the ATF, the other is enforced by state police.

The thing that pisses me off the most, is the fact that an iffy federal prosecution just turned into DEFINATE state prosecution. The Gestapo...er, I mean the CT State Police will just love to pinch somebody on this one. And one of these Blumenthal wannabes will prosecute it to the fullest extent. Be careful guys. In case you haven't noticed, shortly after any wacky legislation gets passed, the Staties make a bust with the news cameras rolling to show the sheeple- "Look how good this new law is! You're safer already!"

I so sick and tired of people saying that this was a loss. If you were here, and knew what we were up against, you'd say it was a win.
So if I have to fight the antis, and argue with you folks about it afterward, it just ain't worth it. I'm a pretty hard line guy, but I know when to be thankful for what didn't happen. What didn't happen is my AR15 clones did not get added to the list, my LEGP will still be legal to own, my mini 14 is still legal as well as my SKS. That was the absolute best that was going to come of this. Jepsen lost. I am happy. But, if I have to fight my own side on issues like this, I'm just going to shut my mouth, and walk away from the game altogether. Screw it. Let em ban them all. Adios. |

Man oh man, how sad that I read the news about our commie legislature this morning and was relieved that we "only" gave up .50 cal AP and incendiary ammo. There was a time when Connecticut had some of the loosest gun control laws in the country. I have a 1950's Stoeger's gun catalog from my granddad that lists most of the gun laws by state. CT was a real freedom-loving place then.
Connecticut patriots were leading the charge of freedom during the revolution. Today's politicians remember names like Nathan Hale yet forget their ideals. Sickening. Our state Constitution has gun rights provisions that are much more clear than the US Constitution: "Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state." (Art.1, Sec. 15) Go figure. I guess I can fill in that hole in the backyard until next year at least! Matt |

Critter,
I've been there. I'm sure you did the best you could with what you had to work with. Most people don't understand that when it comes down to it with this legislative stuff, you can only accomplish what you have the power to accomplish. That is why I get so mad at the anti-NRA crowd. Like you, the NRA does all it has the power to do. Membership and money will get us what we want. If the NRA had had 20 million members, the CT thing would have turned out differently. Take a break, people appreciate what you did. |

Alright, for all of the morons who are bitching that this is a loss, it appears that the registration and ban of transfer of the rifles listed in the original ban has been repealed by this new bill. I am waiting confirmation from Rep San Angelo, but it does appear that we got something back. It looks like anyone who owned one of the listed arms before the original ban, may now transfer them within the state of CT, and the new onwer is not required to register it. Up to this point, in CT, you had to register the gun and could not transfer it in this state.
Here's the section in question: Sec. 3. (NEW) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, sections 53-202a to 53-202k, inclusive, of the general statutes, as amended by this act, and section 2 of this act, shall not be construed to limit the transfer or require the registration of an assault weapon as defined in subdivision (3) or (4) of subsection (a) of section 53-202a of the general statutes, as amended by this act, provided such firearm was legally manufactured prior to September 13, 1994. Any sharp legal minds on here? What do you think? |

Maybe we shouldn't mention this publicly until the Governor signs it into law. I'm surprised the gun grabbers went for it, quite honestly. The state senate still has to vote on the compromise bill.
I have to dig out a copy of the old 53-202 bill to make sure on this. I thought I had it memorized.[:)] It does look "good" though, all things considered. Matt |

Critter,
Don't get so wound up about what a few confused people are questioning about this BILL. This entire BILL is very confusing and suspect to many interpretations, many not entirely accurate. You know your fight is for the right reason and that should be all that counts. It's A very sad state when we have to fight so hard to keep the RIGHTS that our founding fathers sacrificed for.As Jimmy V. said " don't give up, don't ever give up!" |

And if the commie version had passed, anything that Atty General Blumenthal decided was evil could be added to the ban at his will and pleasure. No thank you. And quit F'in trying to make us look like losers, ok? I'm really getting pissed![:)] |

Too many people giving up!
I'm sure critter tried the best he could. And I'm sure he didn't have nearly as much help as he should have. But what really bothers me is people giving up hope. That is not wise. I will die trying, I will die a lonely man (politically), but I will die knowing I did all in my power to fight the tide of evil. And this is not a flame on Imbrog. Imbrog, I'm sure you've been doing the best you can over the 13 years you mention, but the fact of giving up discredits those 13 years. Hope, people. It still exists. |

The problem I have seen is that gun control is ACCELERATING and the more it does, the more people are willing to "compromise" (appease) with the anti-gun weenies. How many times have you seen the socialists introduce some draconian gun bill and the republicans response isn't "HELL NO!" but a watered down version of the same bill? Then after the committees get together and "compromise" the GOP proclaims victory. Just like in the 1994 "assault weapon" ban that only affected "19 guns". HA! That is like the British saying they won the revolutionary war because Cornwallis was able force Washington to negotiate a ceasefire in a humanitarian effort to avoid anymore colonist casualties. If this continues at it's current pace, within a few years the only pro-gun "victories" there will be is a passage of a "compromise" bill only banning bolt action rifles with over 4 round mags.
All the while there are NO attempts at repealing the laws, except from Ron Paul and most other reps avoid his bills like the plague. |

Public opinion is turning around though. It was evidenced here. Their bill should have been a shoe in based on their majorities in both houses, and Rowland was expected by most to sign whatever was sent his way. But low and behold, the people got angry, and called their reps in record numbers, showed up at rallies, and hearings, and really made a stink. Last year, I think that bill would have passed.
It's a win, so bite me! [:)] |
