Ruling Upholds Connecticut’s Expansive Firearm and Magazine Bans Despite Findings that Banned Items are Commonly Used for Lawful Purposes

They were against the original legislation, but I just checked the NRA-ILA.org website and it is oddly silent on the current crisis in CT. Even the news section that links to other websites. I found two articles. One from before the illegal “law” was passed, the other was the NYT article that came out a few days ago.
As an NRA Life member, I’m not amused.
CT is probably a “test” state to see how the people react to gun consfiscation. They’re probably going to experiment and see what produces the least reaction using soft-handed techniques at first then move to ard-handed tactics if the pople don’t push back. Oklahoma is usually one of their choice states to confuct experiments because the people are so laid back, behind the times and are generally not as suspicious about the government’s motives. But its also very gun / hunting friendly and too close to Texas who would immediately spot their deception and warn them. I think they chose tge Northeastern quadrant because they are so pro-government, liberal, and largely Obama supporters. Just my opinion based on life experiences of course.
“OK - so where is the NRA on this issue?”
Busy sending out tens of millions of membership offers, claiming unless we send them untold fortunes this will continue. Bastards.
The NRA needs to get out front on issues like this, and not just the safe issues.
Time to start shooting.
