shropshire 0 #1 February 28, 2014 QuoteThe State of Connecticut says that all citizens must register rifles and high capacity magazines, or be charged will a felony. As many as 350,000 people could face heavily armed police smashing down their doors and be charged with a felony. The legislature of Connecticut says that a registration is needed so they can know where the guns are. Yet at the same time, they are sending threatening letters to gun owners. So they already have records of who has purchased certain guns. The fact is, that the Connecticut legislature fully intends to confiscate hundreds of thousands of firearms anyway. The registration process will simply make it easier to confiscate, because you acknowledge that you still own a firearm that the state already suspects that you own. In a recorded phone call Connecticut State Police Spokesman Lt. Vance was reached at at (860) 685-8290 and says that state police would comply with an order from the state to conduct door to door gun confiscations. http://www.ammoland.com/2014/02/ct-state-police-would-participate-in-gun-confiscations/#axzz2uZtg0DbH (.)Y(.)

Boogers 0 #7 February 28, 2014 It's funny how you guys are focusing on the source of the news, rather than on the news itself, or the issue attendent with it. It's kind of like that other thread on the national debt, where no once cares to actually talk about the debt, all they can do is point fingers at each other as to who did it firstest or mostest. I'll go look for intelligent conversation elsewhereist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you have a hard time understanding the difference between gun sales being down and the RATE OF GROWTH OF GUN SALES being down. Seems to make a bit of a difference.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Boogers 0 #19 March 4, 2014 Quote: "Some industry sources believe sales are not declining as much as they are returning to normal after a long boom. Smith & Wesson CEO James Debney says the firearms industry is “coming out of this surge period into what we would call a more normal environment, which is generally free of influence of some fear or uncertainty about increased legislation.” Oh my gosh, sales are returning to normal - it's the end of the gun industry! With Congress soon to be controlled entirely by Republicans, and Obama to become a lame duck, the threat to gun rights seems to be coming to an end for the next few years. Next up: "NRA membership declining!" Oh the horror! These things are cyclic, depending upon politics. Oh my gosh, the price of gold is plunging! The financial market is doomed!
