CT State Senator Proposes Bill To Limit Gun's To Single Shot Weapons (Back To Flintlocks)
State Senator Ed Meyer's office ^ | 1/11/2013 | raybbr

Posted on 01/11/2013 3:21:43 AM PST by raybbr

General Assembly

 

Proposed Bill No. 122

 

January Session, 2013

 

LCO No. 543

   

Referred to Committee on JUDICIARY

 

Introduced by:

 

SEN. MEYER, 12th Dist.

 

AN ACT CONCERNING RESTRICTIONS ON GUN USE.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

That the general statutes be amended to establish a class C felony offense, except for certain military and law enforcement personnel and certain gun clubs, for (1) any person or organization to purchase, sell, donate, transport, possess or use any gun except one made to fire a single round, (2) any person to fire a gun containing more than a single round, (3) any person or organization to receive from another state, territory or country a gun made to fire multiple rounds, or (4) any person or organization to purchase, sell, donate or possess a magazine or clip capable of holding more than one round.

Statement of Purpose:

To reduce the use of guns for criminal purposes.


I received a notice about this bill in an e-mail. This guy Meyer is truly evil. I am surprised he didn't picked to take over the EPA because he's an expert at using the state's DEEP to destroy people and businesses.

Here is a link to the demon's web site.

If you hunt for sport, there is nothing more sporting than a single shot.

When you resist criminals and tyrants, the concept of "sporting" does not apply.

I have several Contender frames and a small collection of pistol and carbine barrels. My 10” barrel .44 mag would make an interesting concealed carry weapon.

"you doomed"

That depends on your profenciency. As a kid with single shot 410 and a 22, I was pretty quick on the reload.

Having said that, let me say I have vivid memories of my young buddy's pump action 22 plinking skills. The tube on that pump held a lot of shorts

That is the left’s interpretation of the Second Amendment, right? “It refers to muskets and muzzle loaders back then when they hunted for food....”

“The more of these ridiculous proposals submitted, the less likely anything will be passed.”

The way negotiations work is you must meet people halfway. That’s why they’re putting up so many bills. They will eventually get some of the other side to say, “well, at least this one isn’t as bad as the others were.” It’s the tough politician who can keep to his agenda and continue to say no, no, no bill after bill. Also, the politicians trade votes. You vote for the bridge named after me and I’ll vote for the gun-clip ban bill. But we’ll change it from limiting to 10 shots to limiting to 11 so I can claim to have ameliorated the effects of your bill. (Everybody wins. Except the prols, that is.)

While we’re at it let’s limit freedom of speech to only speech printed via a printing press....

...that can print only one word at a time.

"Instead of wasting our time with one round, let’s just make guns that require no ammo. This way we can just throw the gun at our targets like Hollywood shows in movies! (You remember, after the gun is shot and there is no more ammo, the gun holder usually just throws the gun at whomever he was shooting)"

How about a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?

Amazing how these people find so much time to waste on really stupid legislation. I would be embarassed to even submit such a document knowing it has now way in hell of ever passing into law. (Then again, thre are a bunch of stupid people who would indeed, vote for it).

They need to spend their time on more constructive ideas or get the hell out of office.

the term assault rifle

Everytime I hear that term, I think of someone using a rifle as a club.

Where is the bill to limit the media to a single print press and pull the plug on the electronics?

I hunt to eat. I don’t miss often. But when I do. I like to be able to fire again quickly.

Hunt responsibly my friends.

Kinda like the war on drugs. They didn’t stop the market. They just made it a bit more risky with much higher rewards.

From 30 to 10 to “five or six” or 3 or 1 to we hope ZERO.

The following is just as good an example as any:

Bloomberg Blasts NRA: ‘Connecticut Is Because of Some of Their Actions’

...
But if he had his preference, Bloomberg said he would go farther than the 1994 ban and outlaw all automatic and semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines. The mayor said magazines shouldn’t be allowed to contain more than five or six rounds.

“If you haven’t hit the deer with three shots, you’re a pretty lousy shot. The deer deserves to get away,” he said....
