Connecticut Passes Nation's Strictest Gun Law In Wake Of Sandy Hook Massacre

Gun control laws are not as effective as they should be because:
  • The laws are watered down before they're passed such as only requiring licensed dealers to do background checks.
  • Local authorities don't enforce the laws.
  • There is no uniformity in the laws between states. If there is a problem buying guns in one state, they can be bought in other states.
  • Background checks are only as good as the data in the system and many states don't go a good job in supplying information for the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

We don't abolish laws because they don't work as well as we think they should, we fix them. To make the laws more effective they should be more uniform throughout the nation, all guns should be registered, and a background check should be required for all sales.


all Firearms: bolt or lever action per round non detachable magazines would have made a difference in all the mass shootings past and future.

What is your area of expertise that leads you to that conclusion?



it simply shows respect for the weapon modern day supporters have lost all perspective of in playing with their toys.

Well Regulated as a respect by those who were aware of the weapons potential for Firearms being included in the Constitution - there is no need for multi-shot automatic weapons for any reason in either sport or the public domain.
 
Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my shotgun right in the doorway. I set down 6 shells, and even placed it in my chair. I then left it alone and went about my business.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign right in front of our house.
After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there right where I had left it. It hadn't rolled itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself.
Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it's the misuse of guns by PEOPLE that kills people, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

Alright, well I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.
You can make the same argument about drugs, explosives, chemical or biological weapons.

Controlling the sales of guns will not stop the killings but will act as a deterrent. Most murders are crimes of passion or they're committed under duress or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. People in such states use the most effective, safest, and most readily available weapon, a gun. Knifes, bats, and most other weapons takes skill, agility or planning. In other words, guns control laws can make it harder to kill people.

Connecticut Governor Vilifies Wayne LaPierre

"Wayne reminds me of the clowns at the circus. They get the most attention and that's what he's paid to do," Malloy said. "This guy is so out of whack, it’s unbelievable. 92% of the American people want universal background checks. I can’t get on a plane as the governor of the state of Connecticut without somebody running a background check on me. Why should you be able to buy a gun?"

The state should pass that law again. Cheer that on.

Murder is against the law.

Not one of these laws would have saved those children.

All of this is bullshit. But cream yourself on it libs. None of these laws would have saved one child.

Socialists love to use a tragedy to further their sick idea of utopia. And idiots like you kiss their ass.
 
Oh and as Chris Wallace smacked down Kelly, Jared passed the background check.

What's your point? Connecticut didn't ban guns. That same restaurant owner can still have a gun - if he's legal.

Almond Joy, how would any of these laws stopped Adam killing his mother, stealing her guns and killing the kids?

I'm beginning to think the NRA nutters are against universal background checks because they can't read or writer. Forms and paperwork scare them.

The poster above obviously can't read, because I see 4-5 things in the new law that may have prevented Sandy Hook.

The Connecticut legislation bans the sale of gun magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds and requires background checks for private gun sales, including those at gun shows. It also expands the state's current assault weapons ban to include more than 100 gun models.

Additionally, the Connecticut bill allocates $15 million for expanded school safety and mental health programs, and includes new eligibility requirements for ammunition sales. It also has a provision to create the nation's first registry of dangerous offenders, which will be accessible only to law enforcement officers.

How many rounds did his gun hold?

Fuck are you nutters dense as shit. You can't even count.
 
What law did they pass to potentially have stopped Adam?

They already had an assault weapon ban that banned the bushmaster that she was supposed to have legally purchased between 2010 and 2012.
I can't think of anything that would have stopped him short of a good guy with a gun.

Now I didn't start a thread on it today, but did you see where the President blatantly lied saying Lanza used a fully automatic?

Blatant lie.
