We’ve been saying it since the Sandy Hook slaughter unleashed a tsunami of civilian disarmament: gun grabbing pols are paying lip service to the democratic process. More specifically, all the post-Newtown “hearings” on gun control are little more than cover for politicians hell bent on wiping their feet on Americans’ Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. Occasionally, the gun grabbers’ mask of fairness slips, as it did last night. “As the [gun control legislation] hearing reached its ninth hour,” Connecticut’s courant.com reports, “lawmakers started to grow weary. During a testimony from Matt Powell of Manchester, Rep. Minnie Gonzalez, D-Hartford, [below] said she felt he was threatening her and other lawmakers . . .
“I don’t know what’s going to happen with this bill, but right now I’m saying that I don’t think that it’s fair if we give you guys the opportunity to come here and express yourself because at the end of the day we’re going to make this decision and maybe you’ll like it, maybe you won’t,” she said. “If you guys don’t like us, then you vote against us.”
Democracy isn’t fair? I don’t think that means what she thinks it means. I wonder if she knows that Connecticut is The Constitution State? [h/t Pascal]
Good clean fun for Ma and the family.
Ma Barker and the Manson family, that is.
Uh, isn’t that what elections are all about?
And how many of these Dems ran on a gun-grabbing platform? Not very many, yet they’ve painted their skin with the blood of dead little kids and are sickeningly eager to grasp this opportunity.
Do people really think getting people to hand guns in will solve the problem? I live in the UK where Full-bore semi-automatic firearms are banned along with hand guns but I guarantee if I walked into the town nearby I could walk out with enough guns and ammo to rob a bank(any law enforcement reading this I won’t do that, I’m just saying its possible).
Okay, let’s mix gobs of unsafe gun handling, glorification of violence and resolution of conflict through guns and add a healthy dose of sex. Now lets’ market that to young males. What could possibly go wrong?
Clearly, there is not a cultural problem here. Hollywood and its mostly Democrat supporters are not to blame. It’s pretty easy to see that gun violence in this country is all the NRA’s fault.
The “H” in Hollywood stands for “Hyprocrites”.
Gotta give her credit for not being a bulls!tter.
Courageous bureaucrat, safely ensconced in her loathsome inner-city liberal district. She won’t get voted out and she knows it.
1981 immigrant from Puerto Rico and now she is telling us how it’s gonna be.
Well at least she’s a polite Sheepl… I wonder if she has any clue about American History… I’m thinking “not”…
To all of the professional policians, legislators, and other city, county, state and government workers: Hey, guess what? The Tories started to get a little anxious before very long too.
Ah hell, y’all do what you want too, I’ll do whatever I have to. Not worth all this. Quit, give up, fight to the death, kiss ass, rotate and stick head firmly up. Play bad ass, play appeasement reasonably sane. Blame everyone, blame no one, there is no rational for irrational people. My opinion is as worthless as anybody else’s. I can tell you this, this is not America anymore.

Great synopsis. It sounds cliche but I always stood in front of
a mirror trying to outdraw myself.
I’d also add that you should practice with whatever level of
carry you use. I’ve known a few ex IDF guys as well as a few
trappers that carry level three (i.e. loaded mag, not chambered).
Whenever I put a firearm in a pack it’s also level three.
However you carry, practice drawing with your opposite hand.
Also, consider getting a holster for your weaker side. You’ll
save yourself a lot of aggravation if your strong side becomes
incapacitated (shoulder surgery, broken bone or whatever).
She likely doesn’t know, or doesn’t care, what the Constitution is. She’s a liberal with an agenda, period. The truth be damned.
Wow! We have come a LONG way from introducing kids to the real world with Bambis mother. Poor Walt, he must be rolling in his grave or cryo-freezer depending on your opinion.
Yes, we support gun control in America.

@ Buuurr, “Main Core” & similar programs are how they are going to ID them and anyone else who has ever visited a site that is deemed unacceptable by the .gov like this one which includes you too despite your lack of inflammatory rhetoric.
What am I gonna do? I’m not stupid enough to even bother answering that question.”
I’m with you. I have been trying to point this out without saying all day. Some just don’t get it.
Something is happening in this country. Everyone can feel it. Everyone senses it. Nobody can pinpoint it.
However it seems that there is an escalation of prepping on the side of government and from the citizens. Whether or not these escalations are cyclic in nature and only are rising because they feed off each other equally is to be seen and debated.
Personally, if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck – it’s a duck. Or in our case, if it arms itself to the teeth, pushes extreme civil disarmament and creates generations of government dependents, then it is tyrannical. But what is the reason behind WHY they want us controlled?
Is the Mosin Nagant a nice first gun? I’m thinking about getting myself a gun during the summer, I haven’t decided or figured out what gun would be a good first gun.
Having been issued the small metal gun.
It was mostly considered the comedy option. Fine if you had something more important to do than shoot otherwise if things looked remotely serious it was time to grab an SLR ( fn fal).
once as platoon signaller accidently took one home by mistake!
you can fold them up and sling them out of the way and forget your carrying it.
Red faces all round when returned monday morning. Army lore had that a wet blanket could stop the rounds at 100 metres never knew anyone try it though 🙂
Even with the seriously rubbish indian/pakistani training ammo
No one ever dies in vehicular crashes or from other causes…
Since everyone asked where I got 5.56 so cheap, the answer is Tulammo. It’s not terribly accurate (okay it kinda sucks for accuracy) but for me it’s been incredibly reliable. I’ve had about 1 failure per thousand rounds, and I’ve shot through more than 2000 rounds through my AR and AK. AT 200 yards it turns a precision AR into a musket, but its perfect for plinking and practicing your run-and-gun. I used to look for it on Ammoseek, and before the panic it was always less than $240 per 1000 delivered to my door.
Now, of course, its gone.
