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.

Ha!! ROFLOL!!
Ha!! ROFLOL!!
Impeach this Nazi scumbag.
Federal emoluments to local LE is, IMHO, unconstitutional, as it is the province exclusively of the States (see the Ravalli County Supreme Court Case). Lyndon Johnson started it, which is your Good Housekeeping Seal of Unconstitutional, Crooked-As-a-Snake LBJ Crap. "Landslide Lynt'n" wanted to bribe every local government in America to do what he wanted.
In Houston, we average about two of these floods in 75 years, usu. exceeding the met men's expectations of a 100-year event handily each time.
And we get close to the 100-year flood levels about three more times in the interim.
I’d like to know if Dargan has any criminal record re drunk driving, public drinking, fighting, disturbing the peace, domestic violence, etc.
I wouldn’t want my kids going to his house if he does.
In fact, I wouldn’t want them going there if he drank, period.
And I certainly wouldn’t want them going there at all since he is out of his mind,, a dangerous person to decent people who believe that they have a right to defend themselves from the animals that now prow the streets of Bridgeport and other once great cities of Connecticut.
Dargan is a prime example of what a plague of far-out Democrats have done to a once sane state. After my last trip to Conn., I know that I won’t visit again unless I’m packing. What a shithole Bridgeport has become, just like its politicians.
“Dargan sounds like a hardcore Nazi. He’s putting people’s lives in danger. I guess he doesn’t really give a ——. He needs to be voted out as soon as possible.”
He’s from New Haven, an area as “left as they come”.
He’s not going anywhere. If anything, he may get MORE votes next time because of this.

State laws differ, and this could not have happened in Missouri. Under RSMo. 571.101.9, qualifications to carry a concealed weapon, which are the only sort of records of gun ownership maintained in Missouri, are not open to the public.
I don't think it could have happened in any other state where I've worked as a reporter. It looks like New York has a damaging loophole that needs to be closed, and I hope the NRA is working hard right now to check the laws of the other states to see how many other states there are where something like this could blow up.
I am normally a huge advocate of public access to government information — the government does, after all, work for the taxpayers, not other way around — and I have a decades-long history of fighting for access to records that some people don't want publicized. However, I can see absolutely no valid reason for gun ownership records to be public, and it's obvious that a lot of damage has already been done by publicizing them in New York.
The New York loophole needs to be closed, not spread to Connecticut.

Let’s make it easy for criminals to b&e homes without guns. Connecticut and the rest of the Northeast is poluted with left-wing morons.
I am gonna catch some flack for this but here goes. All these vehicles are GWB's millstone.... Yes, after 9/11, tons of money funneled down to the state and local level where they now all have quasi-military vehicles etc. etc. etc.. Do you remember all the Senators ( Especially Levin ) screaming about GWB's wars bla bla bla... Well that all kinda quieted down when they started to dole out the money for these things and to the suppliers in the states that built them. We get the Goverment we deserve, turn on American Idle low information voters, everything is fine....
