Gun stores all over Connecticut were packed Tuesday, one day before lawmakers were expected to vote on a sweeping package of laws that would ban military-style assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
“They’re insane. I’ve never seen them so busy before,” shopper Shari Reilly, who bought up several high-capacity magazines, told NBC Connecticut.
Gov. Dannel P. Molloy, a Democrat, has said he will sign what could be “the toughest law passed anywhere in the country" -- if it gets through the legislature. Connecticut would become the latest of a handful of states – following Colorado and New York – to enact strict new gun-control legislation after the mass shootings in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater and Newtown, Conn., shool. President Obama was scheduled to speak in Colorado on Wednesday to push new federal laws.
Gun manufacturers, ammunition makers and gun store owners in Connecticut have said their businesses will be threatened if a stringent new gun control bill becomes law.
“I feel like we have one foot being pushed out the door,” Mark Malkowski, the owner of AR-15 manufacturer Stag Arms, told NBC Connecticut. He said his company has received nearly two dozen incentive-laden offers to move out of the state.
“They’re really good offers,” Malkowski said. “They are offering tax abatements, they’re offering to build you a factory.”

I suspect that Stag Arms will move out of Conn.
Justly so.
Not wanted there? Take your jobs & your income taxes & LEAVE.
I have said for a long time that about 15 of the flyover states should seceed from the USA.
I had Colorado in that mix. Now—unless they clean house there, Colorado won’t be welcome in the group of states I am predicting will break away.
Guns & ammo & mining will be heavy industries in these states. Also major food production. The blue states can starve, IMO.
Have Americans the Hartford what needs must be done?
What they should be doing is flooding U-Haul rental locations and getting the heck out of Connecticut.
I’d pull up stakes and leave
“...Right, welcome to Texas!! In my many years I’m now realizing that this country really could split up!!! Texas couldn’t split off to soon for me!!!...”
Amen to that, Bro! There are millions just like us. The Texas Nationalist Movement has grown HUGE over the past few months. Check em out on Facebook (if you do that kind of stuff) or texnat.org
The sooner we get out from under all this anti-American, anti-constitutional, communist crap, the better. Let em sink and collapse financially. It will be like the difference between North and South Korea in a matter of months. The USSA will come and go, but Texas was, is and will always be here. God Bless Texas! Drill Baby Drill!!!
“..I think one problem may be that these politicians are a bunch of alcoholic drug addicts who cant think straight....”
It’s worse than that. Liberalism (communism) is a chronic, no-cure, mental disease. It rots out the brain over time to the point where no reasoning functions are left. They become loathing of everyone around them, especially anyone that might be doing better than they are. It digresses into self-loathing, self-hatred, then into violent behavior where they eventually off themselves while taking a few dozen or so innocents with them. We’ve all seen it over and over again.
They are literally the walking dead, mentally speaking of course. Politicians that embrace this disease are as sick as their constituencies.
“...When you throw in accessory, parts, and related tool makers there are dozens more. It is, after all, the old industrial northeast....”
What you say was true, especially 20 years or so ago.
Now, with modern technology, that kind of physical reliance is not so pressing anymore. What can be manufactured in CT can just as easily be manufactured in TX: as good as, if not better than.
Wow.... so there are actually some fans of the Second Amendment in CT after all, eh??? Well good for THEM!
