Legislators and advocates charged Friday that Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is specifically targeting gun owners for a fee increase that they said is not justified by an increased workload.

Rep. Rob Sampson, a Wolcott Republican, said the proposal represents an unreasonable jump from the current $70 to $300 for a five-year permit renewal and $370 for an initial permit for first-time gun owners, up from the current $140.

"I just don't understand why he would single out this particular group and increase it by an exorbitant amount," Sampson said of the Democratic governor.

Oh, c'mon. Use a little imagination.

Conveniently, reporter neglected to report how many protestors attended the hearing. How convenient.

[paulcissa]

Err, my tag line is why. And Malloy really does hate me and my kind. The feeling is mutual.

Published report, yesterday said my town property taxes will go up 10%, b/c of state shortfall to town for edumacation, etc.

So long CT. Been nice knowin’ ya.

Malloy is a wacko liberal who used the murder of kids to put restrictions on honest, non_violent people while deliberately leaving guns in the hands of violent criminals.

...an unreasonable jump from the current $70 to $300 for a five-year permit renewal and $370 for an initial permit for first-time gun owners, up from the current $140.

That ain't a right, it's a privilege for the well off.

[Daffynition]

Sad, but true. I love this state. Have grown to hate its oppression of my God given rights.

Moving south, where there seems to be more fiscal responsibility.

[Daffynition]

And the 3K felons, w/ gun possession felonies, got released by Malloy.

No point in having these laws if they are not enforced, eh?

That, among other reasons, is why I left CT 15 years ago. Best thing I’ve ever done.

High costs of firearm ownership or carry permits should be argued in courts as being no different than a “poll tax” to keep the poor from being able to protect themselves.

and people wonder why i’m moving north.

[Daffynition]

CT is stuck with him; he spent the last two years with his head up the @ss of HRC, hoping for some appointment.

But she didn’t win, did she Dan’l? You’ll have to find another job next election. Along with the rest of your radical left wing sycophants.

[Daffynition]

That’s the tack of the CCDL.

[Chainmail]

Inconstitutional, period.

[FreedomPoster]

How is this any different from a poll tax? Would any lawyers care to try to explain?

Why isn’t there a Civil Rights violation case here?

Good one.

As far as the left is concerned, Americans cannot
be trusted with lead delivery systems.
