CT Gov on Civilian Disarmament: This is Just the Beginning

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy reckons The Constitution State’s new gun registration laws make it safer for police responding to domestic disturbance calls because they’ll know what guns or “large capacity magazines” are in the house. Note: I didn’t write “what guns if any are in the house” because it’s entirely possible that a CT resident might have a *gasp* unregistered gun in their abode. Which means that any cop who assumes that CT’s multi-agency registry is accurate or comprehensive is an idiot. Which also makes Malloy’s argument for registration equally idiotic. As for Malloy’s “long term approach to regaining our safety in the United States,” maybe someone should tell the Gov that violent crime has been decreasing for decades even without his “gun safety” laws. Interviews like this make me I wonder what Nazi functionaries sounded like back in the day . . .

  1. Choosing between Grimes and McConnell will be like choosing between mouth cancer and ass cancer.

    McConnell deserves to be voted out simply because he refuses to come to Kentucky without his phalanx of security guards.

  3. 16 ga. double. As a youngster I thought the 16 ga. was just about perfect with the exception of long range waterfowl. Unfortunately, the 16 ga. fell by the wayside.

    • Idiots and stooges elect idiots and stooges. And we’re supposed to “have faith in the electoral process”. I feel sick to my stomach.

      The only reason we haven’t been invaded by another country is that we’re better at doing the job ourselves. We have invaded ourselves. How fucking pathetic is THAT?

  4. I used to work in Yemen. According to custom and tradition, he was supposed to shoot into the sky. They’re not particularly accurate shooters, so this guy shot into the sky – and missed!

  5. If you are accused and arrested and put before some doctor, does your right to remain silent apply? How does that work? I’d be afraid to talk before having access to a lawyer.

  6. Weisser doesn’t talk for gun owners ,that’s his opinion ,he’s right about gun culture ,wrong about lesser guns equal lesser crime,but I suspect Gopnik put those words in his mouth.
    More Stupid Liberal,”I’m from New York and am better than you cause you are ‘Irrational thinker’s’ attitude”,which is funny coming from “Murder Central ” ,New York
    This joker is a typical ” why do you need it ” “common sense” ” assault weapon” journalist from ‘it will never happen to me ville” who has the gonads to say “debunked pro-gun surveys” I can and have debunked just about every anti survey that has come down the pike.It’s easy as they post them and when you follow up you see less than a thousand people surveyed and that represents “90% of America.Yaaaa Riiiiiiight
    Well, what do we expect from the clueless ” I don’t know anything about,but hate guns and you should too or you’re a monster” clan? That would be ,aaahhh,not much!

    • Pollster: “Hello, we’re taking a survey to prove that guns cause crime. Would you like to participate?”
      Annoyed person: “Well, they don’t, you tool. They prevent crime. Go take a flying leap.”
      Internet article: “97.4% of those surveyed …”

  7. So when cops do roll up on a call where they know there’s a gun in the house, how many innocents are they going to accidentally shoot?

  8. George Carlin:
    “Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. You see all, sooner or later. Sooner or later, the people in this country are gonna realize the government does not give a fuck about them! The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It simply does not give a fuck about you! It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing. Keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.”

  11. I cannot f*cking believe what I’m reading from a few here. To even entertain the thought of this being acceptable is placing yourself in the same f*cking category of “mentally unfit” of certain rights. OMFG.

  12. Love guns, just hate tattoos. Tattoos are for thugs, wannabes, ex-cons, rock stars, the emotionally damaged, a end of a long drunk night, tramps, artists or people who think they are artists, the condemned and bikers. With the exception of military, maybe police or fire, I find tattoos to be mostly a sign that says “watch out for me I’m trouble.”

  13. If someone is really debilitated, they may not be able to use a firearm at all. While I normally scoff at people who claim a criminal will take a gun away from you and use it against you, my scoffing assumes an average person. If you have trouble gripping or squeezing the trigger, you may be better off with pepper spray or even a knife.

    And don’t forget to consider using blanks in your self defense handgun. Remember, most criminals tuck tail and run at the mere sight of your defensive firearm. If seeing it isn’t enough, seeing and hearing the blast when you pull the trigger will convince almost all of the rest of the bad guys to get out of Dodge. The fact that you are shooting blanks will not matter because they will assume that you are shooting normal ammunition and simply missed. And if they do take it away from you for some reason and try to shoot you, it will not injure you seriously unless they hold the handgun a few inches from your body when they pull the trigger.

  14. I completely agree with 1 and 2 but If you follow number three you are not going to be able to have a pocket holster as an option. Also I don;t really agree with the need to easily be able to re-holster. It is obviously the time an untrained individual will likely ND, but if the CCW is out of the holster than you should have already pulled the trigger at this point you can go as slow as you want to re holster. I came across http://www.thebestconcealedcarryholster.com/ which elaborates a little more on some other important selection criteria

  15. Ah, just how many stand offs with assault rifles to police in Conn. deal with daily. The number, if it even exists, does it make the expensive bureaucracy worthwhile?
