MOVE already...“People were calling us for interpretations and we hadn’t even read the bill ourselves.”
Why is any firearms manufacturer still being in CT?
WAKE UP!! THEY DON’T WANT YOU IN CT!! MOVE NOW BEFORE YOU ARE ARRESTED!! IT AIN’T GOING TO GET ANY BETTER!!
And to the NSA trolls, FU.
Very simple.
Make a law that people can’t avoid breaking. Then selectively enforce it to get the desired results.
It’s called fascism.
Stag stays in CT, it deserves to pay every dollar it get fined.
Take a hint. We don't like you, we don't need you and we don't want you. Hit the road and take it somewhere else.
Gov. Malloy
I’m damned sure that ifI make a purchase online or in a store, I’ll make absolutely sure that the product is not from or purchased from CT, CA, and all those other places that are vehement anti-gun zealots. I’m tired of buying from controllers. Colt - you’d better take notice.
The CT state police are under political orders to willfully allow citizens to break laws, is that it?
People generally WANT to follow the rules. By not allowing the people to know what the rules are, the state seeks to entrap the people.
Is this any way to govern a citizenry?
From the lowest levels of government to the highest levels, those in power skirt or ignore the law. What recourse to this do we have, but to become cynical scofflaws ourselves.
There are states out there that do not share Connecticut's anti-gun bias, where taxes are cheaper, the business environment is better, and the deck isn't stacked against you.
Take your company, along with the taxes you pay, along with the jobs you create and the taxes your employees pay and move to a state where you will be treated with appreciation.
Dannel has basically told the gun manufacturers , leave and take your stinkin’ high paying , highly skilled jobs with you. CT’s future belongs to the newly minted, low skill, underpaid citizen.
Now things have progressed beyond that in many states. It is approaching totalitarianism. Companies like Stag Arms is part of the problem. They attempted to work with government when they should have moved to a free state. Now government isn't willing to work with them. Stag had every right to protest and lobby legislators. I'm sure they did, but they loss. The second step that they could have taken (hopefully they will still take) is leave a business and gun unfriendly state. There are plenty of states that have lower taxes, less regulation, better standards of living and strong 2a rights.
Stag needs to hurt CT in the pocket book by leaving CT.
If I were in a 2nd Amendment supporting state and in a position to offer support to gun/ammo manufactures in 2nd Amendment unfriendly states I’d be burning up the phone lines and making trips to those facilities to entice them to leave where they are not wanted and come to where their efforts are appreciated.
There can be no excuse for a firm who depends on a core element of the constitution to remain in a constitution unfriendly state and effectively fund and support your sworn enemy.
Just think of how many businesses SHOULD move to areas of the country more agreeable with their products.
IE: For a multitude of reasons the auto industry should move out of states with enviro-wackos and union thuggery.
The polarization between elitist statist thugs and people who still believe in the Constitution and freedom has reached the point of no return- the tipping point. Short of total ccapitulation by one side or the other another civil war is inevitable.
What the Stag Arms people need to do is to ask the state Attorney General (or the state Attorney General's office staff) rather than the police. The cops are right in this case....their job is to enforce the law, not interpret it.
MOVE already...Maybe the Stag owner will get the message when he takes a weapon in to get a determination..and the State Patrol arrests him.
“No sir, your prototype weapon does not conform to the new rules. Oh, and by the way, you’re under arrest. Please put your hands behind your back...”
“We’ll just arrest everyone we see with a gun and let the courts settle it. We don’t know shit.”
PTR Inc. that makes HK rifle clones has decided to move out of CT. Stag Arms is still waffling. Stag is being courted by Texas and North Carolina, but its CEO is only saying the company plans to expand production in other locations out of state, but isn’t moving — yet. http://bristolpress.com/articles/2013/07/01/news/doc51d23a6e6636f669304351.txt
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be
observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken.
You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of
boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know that
this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after
power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to
it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only
power any government has is the power to crack
down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough
criminals, one makes them. One declares so many
things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a
nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that
for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can
neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively
interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers
- and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once
you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal
with.”
