Like I said...

The lone GOP candidate is currently huddled somewhere, with Kevlar Testicle Protector firmly in place, rocking in the corner and sucking his thumb, feverishly hoping he doesn’t get called “racist” or some other really really really REALLY bad name...

‘Cause, like, you know... that would be REALLY scary.

Buy your lifetime supply of ammunition.

When it is taxed at 50%, you made a huge profit.

The state had some voting fraud...at 8pm...the time polls are supposed to close, the Dems were signing up Yale and UConn students (you were supposed to register in mid October). With the election being fraudulent, it was close...

Thanks, so the Dem voter fraud machine was out in force, that figures.

The 2nd Amendment is the underlying support for all of the others. The only reason (IMHO) that the RKBA isn’t the 1st Amendment is because the Founding Fathers were gentlemanly enough to warn you (hence, free speech) before they shot you. The 2nd Amendment must be protected at all costs from any form of attack. This includes free access to ammunition. If you do not fully support that God given right then you need to step back and take a hard look at your political beliefs.

I suspect that they have relatives or others not directly involved with the gangs buying the ammo for them. Ammo purchases aren’t tracked as closely as those of actual firearms.

That’s a great post. Thanks. The America we knew is heading towards extinction and we elected the man who is our last hope. He could have done it easily if not for the treasonous Republicans. Now, it’s the hard way and thank God we have even one man fighting for us.

When you say free access to ammo, are you talking the same as free access to clean needles for junkies or is your access actually limited to those who can afford bullets which would mean access is not completely free after all?

Are you entirely comfortable with Santa Fe HS and Sutherland Springs massacres as the price for such freedoms? If so, maybe you’re the one who needs to step back and let the adults discuss this.

It looks like someone made a wrong turn and ended up here instead of the DUmp.

Like Massachusetts, Connecticut resorts to a scam to make up laws that can’t be passed.

Connecticut a tax on ammunition, Massachusetts by phony-baloney law regarding which firearms are ‘safe’

It’s all quasi-legal bullsh*t brought on by lawmakers who have no regard for the law.

Folks in N.Y. and N.J. go to New Hampshire to get their booze then return home so as to avoid high taxes on vice in said states.
Ya think there won’t be a line of folks going to New Hampshire for their ammo?

Needles for junkies are not in the BOR. Firearms are. Since firearms are useless without ammunition, the access to same must be protected under the 2nd Amendment. And acts of violence are a fact of life. I’ve yet to meet anyone who is “comfortable” with them.

Interestingly enough, the sites in the types of shootings you reference were gun free zones. You comfortable with that? If ammunition is restricted or made prohibitively expensive and someone dies is it just too damn bad in your book?
