Fresh off his “victory” over gun rights advocates—signing into law America’s most draconian gun control legislation—Connecticut Governor Dannell Malloy extended the olive branch to the National Rifle Association and its Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “Mr. LaPierre and I share the same goal: the safety of our children. We look forward to working with the NRA to put their Eddie the Eagle program into all of Connecticut schools. We also want to remove school gun-free zones so that parents, teachers and administrators with concealed carry permits can protect children from madmen like the Sandy Hook murderer.” JK.
Don’t try to cap Scalia. I think he’s perfectly capable of shooting back.
This 92% statistic is so wrong it is ridiculous, I am tired of it being shouted out unchallenged constantly. Besides, we can provide plenty of information as to why we don’t want UBCs.
Part of that number comes from a Quinnipiac poll from Florida. 1,000 people were phoned and 92% said “… voters support universal background checks for gun purchases…” It goes on to add “… Voters in gun-owning households support universal background checks 88 – 11 percent. ” That last part is the oft-repeated three-quarters of NRA member support….
The poll was cited on several media outlets, shared again through even more media outlets and has been shared so many times by so many left-leaning media the number is now considered gospel.
My favorite from the poll…. ” Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,000 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points”
1,000 people.
In one state (mine).
And that is supposed to be a representative poll of the nation’s opinion on Gun Controls?

Her interpretation of the 3 S’s. Shoot. Shovel. Shuddup.
Something that I would advise all forum posters to do if they haven’t already is create a YouTube account. We need to, as a group, be able to upvote videos that promote our position and downvote videos that incur our ire. Our approval and displeasure become much more open and apparent if they are displayed where everyone can see them.
He’s so anti-gun that he made the host of an anti-gun media look pro-gun. The next thing for him on the list is complete ban of all firearms and anything that resembles it.
This guy is a piece of crap.
CT’s bill is a bad bill from the get-go…The state will spend millions to fight the challenges to it..This bill will be overturned eventually, giving malloy what he really wants, a spot on the cabinet. He wants out of CT. With the damage he has done there is no way he will ever get re-elected
You go granny. The reason seniors carry guns is that were to old to get our butts kicked.
Alabama’s nice, if you like football and space travel. We’re red as the Crimson Tide. Roll tide.
I enjoy what you guys tend to be up too. Such clever work
and coverage! Keep up the great works guys I’ve you guys to blogroll.
Now this appears to be a real current threat to the security of the United States.
This is WHY we maintain weapons, for when these guys show up in OUR neighborhoods.
If the US was doing ITS job, we wouldnt be concerned about these nice guys.
Remember, everyone, next time a Civilian Disarmament proponent comes at you with that New England Journal of Medicine article claiming a gun in the home is more likely to kill a loved one than to defend them: Non-fatal defensive gun uses like this weren’t taken into account at all.
Got it’s ups and downs. Ammo can be found esp. .40S&W/.45ACP. no .22LR mags are out there and with the Magpul Mag lift in full swing anyone that can’t get at least 5 PMAGS @ MSRP is uninformed. Gun shows and private sales are your best bet for Guns. The new Chickenpooper/ Bloombugger Gun laws don’t hit till Jul 1st. No one I know is going to stop private sales without background checks or private sales of mags. As a show of how much we want our tyrannical overlords to FOAD certain groups are collecting empty +15 Magazine packages,wrappers,boxes and sending them in bulk to elected officials offices as well as post cards simply marked MOLON LAABE.
I’ve lived in Colorado nearly all my life and love it, but recently I’ve been checking employment adds in Texas. If the government can’t trust me with my guns, then I can’t trust them with anything.
IMHO, these proposed regulations have nothing to do with safety, and the law-writers know it. Instead, the whole idea behind these is to make gun ownership so cumbersome, so painful, so expensive, and so much trouble, that many gun owners will just throw up their hands and say to heck with the whole thing. In other words: use politics and nonsensical do-nothing rules to harass gun owners into giving up. It’s pretty safe that millions of gun owners will be able to get away with ignoring MOST of these silly new laws MOST of the times. And the exceptions, the edge cases, that are actually caught…the prosecutions of these will likely bring in the NRA lawyers, where these laws can be called into question.
wooooooow…..
im really not sure what to say after reading the headline, let alone the comments.
im guessing RF’s purpose was to see how many paranoid gun owners comment and spout BS everywhere? granted i only see one here….
i bought a gun to protect me and my loved ones. not because i think theyre cool or i like them (though both are true).
and really, im facepalming so hard at some of these comments, im warping time and space.
Can’t believe he said there is more crime in states with the most gun owners.
“I don’t mean to be facetious but the very idea of carrying a gun terrifies me. I would not feel safer with a lethal weapon on my person. I would feel scared. Scared that that gun would be used against me. Scared that it might go off accidentally. Scared that any violence might be escalated because of its presence.”
Or better yet… “I would not feel safer with a lethal weapon on my person so his lethal weapon could be in my person… over and over and over.”
Come on, everybody knows that to penetrate a bpv you need to use Teflon coated bullets! Or was that astroglide coated bullets? Ah screw it, I will just take my .30.06.
I’m not sure I agree with this. While there should certainly be harsh penalties, all this would do is put one more thing in an officer’s mind that could make him hesitate when the person he is about to fire on is NOT innocent and unarmed. Maybe if, and only if, it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that the officer acted improperly or in a reckless manner, but not in the case of an officer that does things right and everything still goes wrong (It happens).
If it happened in every case, Reginald VelJohnson wouldn’t have been there to help Bruce Willis make it out of Nakatomi Tower.
Here in San Jose, CA, the police are leaving in droves for many political / financial reasons, so the city is lowering its hiring requirements. When new recruits (less qualified recruits, or any officers really) are faced with the stressful situation that is law enforcement, well, they are signing on to this, they are not forced to take the job, so they should be held to the same level of scrutiny if they F up, they should be tried as if a civilian with no law enforcment background.
If we in this country are not allowed to protect ourselves with firearms (our sherrif only gives CCW to people that donate huge sums of cash to her reelection) , and are forced to only rely on police, then they should be held to the highest of standards, they should be anyways, they chose the stressful and difficult career.
nice
Taking into account a margin of error almost negates those most of those who say a mag ban would reduce violence.
