Connecticut State Representative Stephen D. Dargan (D-New Haven), co-chairman of the state’s Public Safety Committee, has introduced a bill that would make public the names and addresses of gun permit holders in Connecticut under the state’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Dargan’s bill is in response to the Dec. 14th shootings in the Sandy Hook School in Newtown, CT, and also occurs as a Westchester County, NY newspaper, the Journal News, is drawing widespread, nationwide anger for publishing a map with the names and addresses of gun permit holders. The bill, if passed, would reverse the state legislature’s decision, made nearly two decades ago, to protect gun permit holders' personal information from disclosure.

But no doubt he can expect police protection.”
For some reason, that site dumps my android browser......
“The bad guys, now knowing where the “home defense” is in place, have only to hit the houses two or three doors away, to be assured of entry and easy pickings.”
And,,,, which house to watch, and ransack for weapons when no one is home!
Works both ways.
Since when did gun owners become equitable sex offenders?
You can sell them, lose them or give them away as gifts. Gifting a weapon is legal as long as the person recieving the is legally “clean” and not a minor etc. Check out BATF website for info.
Hint - Private Sale

The first gun stolen from any of the addresses may just result in a lawsuit of epic proportions that leaves Gauleiter Stephen D. Dargan flat broke and persona non grata for the rest of his days.
Mr. niteowl77
I've also bot and sold some guns....privately. No "registration" required.
So....you probably need to apologize to P.F.
You’ll also notice the ACLU and their Demrat supporters often lobby against notification laws on paroled pervs and want to give felons everywhere the right to vote.
Well, there are laws about PPI, and PII, and HIPAA.
All privacy rules - can’t reveal information.
Maybe my rifle is a rectal thermometer. That makes it medical, and protected under HIPAA.
Even though my only medical training is Boy Scout First Aid Merit badge, I will take your temperature for free.
I live in Maryland where you have to Fellate half the State Police to get a permit to carry. If I could get a permit I would be glad to have the State print my name and address.
Put it on a frickin Billboard for all I care, I will even take out an ad in the paper informing any and all.
Just give me the damned permit.
"The civilized men in the country did not know what to do. In the words of one historian, the moderates voiced desperate "appeals to reason… [But] their techniques were distinctly out of tune with the wild emotionalism that seemed to have gripped a large part of the nation" The civility cherished by the civilized men had finally been defeated by their ideas, although they did not know that this was the cause."
"After years of preaching contradictions and of evading principles with an anti-ideological shrug, these men were astonished to see the nation conclude that man cannot live by principles, that reason is no guide to action, and that anything goes. After years of institutionalizing interest-group warfare, which they had justified as sacrifice or collective service, these men were astonished to see hostile gangs take to the streets and demand one another’s sacrifice. After years of undercutting the mind by preaching the primacy of gentle feeling (whether ‘progressive’, religious, or skeptical), these men were astonished to find that they had nothing more to say, and that there was no one left to listen. The moderates were helpless. The authorities were helpless. The killers were taking over."
"On January 30, 1933, after due attention to every requirement of German law and of the Weimar Constitution, Nazi rule was made official… It took six months for the Chancellor to transform the country into a totalitarian state."

Verrry interezzting..... the S.A. were organized street enforcers. Is Obama’s `Civilian Defense Corps’ going to follow the same model? Identify, isolate, & surround the class enemy. Then, it was the Jews.
BTW, ever notice how advocacy for milspec rifle ownership is now media-attributed to `middle-aged white males’ and that this represents a shrinking demographic? Curious.
Human nature never changes and so-called “100 year floods” do occur - about every 100 years.
Well, well well. The Journal violated the law by publishing the gun owner’s names and addresses.
Where are the charges?
Hey Bob, not ever state requires gun owners to “register” their guns. In my state we don’t have to. Yes we do fill out the 4473 when we buy from a licensed dealer, but those records are kept at the gun dealer and not with law enforcement or feds.
If I buy a gun from a private citizen who is selling from their own collection I don’t have to even fill out the 4473. I would, at most, have to prove to them that I am not a criminal and can legally buy/own a gun.
So Einstein, what do you think about that? Time to take that BigFoot out of your mouth?
Tell me how in the hell do MILLIONS of weapons get into the hands of druggies, illegals, etc., etc. The registration laws only work so far. Haven’t you ever heard of military selling weapons off base, Fast and Furious, etc., etc. No I do not advocate stealing weapons but if criminals can get them why can’t honest people? And I think the New York fiasco of posting the names on the Google Map should be replied by posting the names of those who DO NOT have permits on a Google Map. Let the thieves know which houses to break into and see what the newspaper and idiot Congressman say to that.
Yes, all government officials and employees should have this info be public as well
