Conn. officer says woman sounds 'anti-American' for questioning gun control law
Examiner.com ^ | February 27, 2014 | Joe Newby

In a video posted Thursday to YouTube, Connecticut State Police Spokesman Lt. Paul Vance is heard telling a woman identified as "GMN Producer Guerilla Girl Ashley" that she sounded anti-American for questioning the state's new gun control law.

***** "I want to know, if it comes down to it, will the police go to my home if my husband refuses to give up a weapon that was formerly legal and now has been made illegal by a corrupt legislature?" she asked. "Will the police actually go to my home and threaten my family, 'cause I'm scared to death?"

"We don't threaten people, ma'am," Lt. Vance said. "That doesn't happen."

"If you're going with the force of government, that's a threat," she responded.

"Ma'am, it sounds like you're anti-American, it sounds like you're anti-law. I can't answer your question," Lt. Vance remarked.

Ashley told Lt. Vance in no uncertain terms she is pro-American and took exception to being called anti-American, a charge Lt. Vance tried to walk back.

He also told Ashley she should contact an attorney to learn what her options are under the law.

Later, after Ashley said Lt. Vance works for the people of the state, he informed her that he, in fact, is her master.

"You're the servant, we're the master," she said.

"I'm the master, ma'am. I'm the master," he said in response.

The U.S. as a whole is becoming a totalitarian police state. And both political parties are responsible.

[ Names should be published and these “Peace Officers” should be shunned at best. ]

It is like they went to Mayberry and Jailed Andy Tailor. Then they took Barney Fife, gave him a steroids and gave him a license to kill....

“Ma’am, it sounds like you’re anti-American, it sounds like you’re anti-law. I can’t answer your question,” Lt. Vance remarked.

My Response: I am PRO-LAW, I think the government is Anti-Law for IGNORING the 2nd Amendment!!!

There will be shooting in the streets before it’s said and done.

I called the governor’s office about this. The person answering the phone denied it ever happened. He said I was wrong, that’s not what the spokesman said.

So then I spoke with a much more articulate person at the Lt. Governor’s office. He said he was going to look into it. I guess he hadn’t gotten the word that they’re going to deny all.

If he’s the master, why is he calling her “ma’am”?

Since the police spokesman felt threatened, he would have been justified in shooting her on the spot.

not by Connecticut law.

Sounds like the officer let the proverbial cat out of the bag too soon.

If he’s punished fir anything, it will be putting ordinary Amercans on the alert.

I don’t buy this doom & gloom. Things have being going in a pro-2nd amendment direction nationwide for over a decade, with no signs of reversal. Obama’s term will expire like everyone else’s. We’ll have another election, and we’ll get another President. It may not be the one we want, but that will be up to us.

New training at odds with old, I’d guess.

Ha! He’s an idiot. He attended University of Connecticut for a year in 1971-72 (General Studies - I’m guessing flunked out) and then his bio lists a Community College.

Citizens, you have a certified “Master” goon ruling you.

"I'm the master, ma'am. I'm the master," he said in response.

I listed to the audio, and those are his exact words. This fellow needs some legal attention.
