“Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”

Have these robed morons read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

Let me preface my remarks by first stating that I am a woman, so I couldn't help but to notice that the decree was gleefully authored by Chief Justice Ellen Peters .

Thank God, I don't reside in a state run by anti-American tyrants.

Chief Justice Ellen Peters simply paraphrased the same holding composed by Scalia and issued by SCOTUS. Prety much anything short of an outright ban on possession of all types of firearm is constitutional, says the Courts. And even that type of ban is constitutional provided it is selectively applied.

“It is a very dangerous doctrine to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions. It is one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, Ltr to W.C. Jarvis, 1820

“…centralized firearms registry which lists the city’s gun owners and what firearms they have in their possession.”

That statement right there just makes my blood boil.

In this world, defense and armed combat has traditionally been the domain of males.

Some would argue Chief Justice Ellen Peters doesn't have the upper body strength or experience to distinguish between weapons that are reasonable in the face of peril and those that are not.

They would no doubt also argue that, just like grade school teachers, she is leading us down the road to wussification.

This is my position. I’m not afraid to die. Btw, even IRS accountants in the field have gun range training and wear body armor.

My Connecticut forebears, who, using their own personal “assault weapons” served in the militia in the earliest days of Connecticut, and carved a civilization out of that wilderness, who suffered at Valley Forge and fought a long bloody revolution from Bunker Hill to Yorktown to secure the rights of these bozos, would forcefully object, I have no doubt.
