Connecticut Preparedness

Seems that NY is he'll vent on passing legislation today, foregoing their state constitution which requires a minimum 3 day wait in new legislation. This will bypass public outcry. Haven't found a link to the exact details of the bill, but what they list here sucks!

Signed into law today. Amazing! Totally bypassing the public opinion. Hopefully this brings on a $h*tstorm of lawsuits.

Provisions in the sweeping gun control bill include:

•Further restrict assault weapons to define them by a single feature, such as a pistol grip. Current law requires two features.
•Make the unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor.
•Mandate a police registry of assault weapons.
•Establish a state registry for all private sales, with a background check done through a licensed dealer for a fee, excluding sales to immediate relatives.
•Require a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report the
threat to a mental health director who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient’s gun could be taken from him or her.
•Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons.
•Require stores that sell ammunition to register with the state, run background checks on buyers of bullets and keep an electronic database of bullet sales.
•Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. Someone caught with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
•Require that stolen guns be reported within 24 hours. Otherwise, the owner would face a possible misdemeanor.
•Increase sentences for gun crimes including for taking a gun on school property.
•Increase penalties for shooting first responders, called the “Webster provision.” Two firefighters were killed when shot by a person who set a fire in the western New York town of Webster last month. The crime would be punishable by life in prison without parole.
•Limit the state records law to protect handgun owners from being identified publicly. The provision would allow a handgun permit holder a means to maintain privacy under the Freedom of Information law.
•Require pistol permit holders or those who will be registered as owners of assault rifles to be recertified at least every five years to make sure they are still legally able to own the guns.

Not a lot of good in that list!

Increase penalties for firearms brought on school grounds?
These Fu$&) morons will never get it.
Unbelievable.

Virtually none of this would change anything. That's sad enough. What makes me almost want to cry was how it was done. Behind closed doors. No public comment. The right for the people have a say in the laws that govern them was a basic principle of this country. No more.
If you listen carefully tonight, you'll hear the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.

A friend once told me (nvisn), if our founding fathers were alive today, there would have already been blood shed!

I don't think society is very far away.

I hope you're wrong.
Think about other major "events". 9/11. Katrina. Hurricane Sandy. Newtown.
What's the very first thing the sheeple want?
They want Nanny Government to do something, and they are willing to give up all sorts of liberty for a promise that the nanny will help them.
Most of the time that liberty is never returned once the emergency has passed.

And the sheeple just go on grazing and bleating.

I do to but, it will take a major event to turn this all around.

I agree.
