Malloy signs 'historic' gun control legislation into law [CT]
WFSB ^ | April 4, 2013 | By Rachel Rooney, Joseph Wenzel , Susan Raff

Posted on 04/04/2013 10:01:19 AM PDT by matt04

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a bill into law Thursday afternoon that will bring sweeping changes to gun control.

On Monday, a bipartisan agreement on gun control was unveiled by lawmakers that proposed limiting magazines to no more than 10 rounds. Those who currently have larger magazines would have to register them with state police.

The legislation, which is more than 100 pages long, will create strong penalties for anyone who carries large ammunition magazines away from home or a gun range.

The state would also become the first in the country to create a dangerous weapon offender registry and there would be universal background checks for assault weapons.

The House and the Senate voted in favor of the 139-page bill crafted by leaders from both major parties in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly.

Just after 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Connecticut Senate voted 26-10 to pass the gun control legislation and the House passed the bill 105-44 just before 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

And what will they do the next time one of their silly-assed gun-free zones is attacked?

They are now guilty of Treason against the people of Connecticut and the People of the United States.

If an armed rebellion ensues, they will then be guilty of Sedition.

USC Title 18. Section 242. Deprivation of Civil Rights under Color of Law.

It’s a FELONY.

Arrest the Governor and all of the legislators who voted for this.

Yes. I’m dead serious.

The blood is now on the hands of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and those in the legislature who are disarming law abiding citizens but not criminals.

Not about crime, it's about Government control and seizure of the 2nd Amendment.
Shall not be infringed. They can pass these laws in the dead of night
knowing that it might take 10 years to reverse them depending who is voted into office.
As crime rates soar in CO. I would not hesitate to say that any supporters will be voted out.
But then, CA has infected many states from the exodus.

Use it as an excuse to begin confiscating arms from law abiding folks in the interest of "public safety".

“...strong penalties for anyone who carries large ammunition magazines away from home or a gun range.”

How would you get them to the gun range?

"How would you get them to the gun range?"

Details. Details, besides it's the thought that counts and you will have an opportunity in court to prove your innocence... Mega Sarcasm tag./

If I were a liberal Democrat in Ct, I’d be wiping my ass with the little people too.

They keep getting re-elected.

Put them in the trunk of the car, drive directly away from the state and never come back.
