Well you knew that the dem states/localities were going to tie repression of gun rights to any monies supposedly going to their neutered PDs. They are so predictable it would be funny were it not so sad.

Your boy, Ned is busy today. Election coming up?

"Hey I have an idea! Let's pass some laws that create felons out of thousands of otherwise law-abiding gun owners, while doing nothing to prevent criminals from obtaining firearms..."

Kinda figured, though had not looked it up. Is a permit to carry, like a hard thing there for normal people? I don't live anywhere near, don't really follow and didn't even know you guys lead the country in gun control. I know you do not recognize mine.

he's running against the same dude, bob stephanowski - that lost to him in 2018.

ol' bob gave donny a grade of 'A' in his job performance as prez!

that didn't go over so well & it's still not looking good for bob, 4 years later.

Trump will hover over Stefanowski vs. Lamont 2.0​

Rather it seems Donald Trump will once again be the undoing of Stefanowski, who can't likely get elected with or without the former president and his lies about the 2020 election.

I may have missed it, but I have yet to see Stefanowski renounce Trump, who is now the subject of numerous investigations that are almost certainly going to unravel in a way to horrify Connecticut Democrats and independents by the time voting starts in the fall.

It's hard to imagine Connecticut voters signing on this year for a Trumpist governor.

It was a good club for Lamont to use to whack Stefanowski with four years ago, calling his Trump-endorsed opponent "Trumpanowski" in one Tweet.

Stefanowski's long history of Trump support will play worse in Connecticut this year than it did four years ago, especially after the Jan. 6 committee of the House of Representatives completes its televised prime-time hearings on the Trump-inspired insurrection.

You might expect Stefanowski to run from Trump as fast as he can in still-blue Connecticut. But of course he can't. No one will get the Republican nomination for governor in Connecticut by insulting Trumpists and calling out the former president's election lies.

my husband has a permit - it wasn't hard at all. he has all the ammo he needs & has never gone thru hoops to get it.

assault weapons have been banned for a very long time & i do believe you can't own a gun if you have been involved in domestic violence. pretty common sensical regs if you ask me.

The fact that nobody has showed up to your door to confiscate your firearms doesn’t mean it will not happen in the future.

No, he just didn't have the balls to do it. It isn't because he didn't want to.

Obama wanted a mandatory"buyback". He said so.

How do you "get tough on guns"? It's a freaking cliche among democrats to dodge the real issue of escalating crime. You almost gotta laugh that the president wants to subsidize drug use while they are killing Cops. Maybe the new strategy is "keep 'em stoned".

I have no problem with no guns for domestic assault convicts. Surprised you are not a reciprocity state, since you say attaining carry permit no particularly difficult. After all, it is in the US Constitution to reciprocally recognize the actions of the various other states. Gun control aside, I take it the state is not big on the Constitution?
