Connecticut Anti-Gun Bills Dead!

[Cavalier Knight]

The Judiciary Committee held hearings this week on Senate Bills 603 and 607, but declined to vote on these two egregious anti-gun bills. The failure to vote on these two measures has essentially rendered them dead for this session. They could still reappear as amendments, although this is very unlikely. SB603 would require all ammunition sold in Connecticut to be coded with an individual serial number (ammunition serialization) and entered into a statewide database at the time of sale. Encoded ammunition would be registered to the purchaser and would include the date of transaction, the purchaser's name, date of birth, driver's license number, and the serial number of the ammunition. All unserialized ammunition would have to be forfeited.

Also, SB607 would seek to ban the sale of semi-automatic handguns not equipped with so-called "micro-stamping" technology. Micro-stamping is an unproven technology that would require identifying marks to be etched into the firing pin and breech face of a firearm. SB607 doesn't stop there! It would also outlaw the private sale or transfer of long guns. Please continue to check www.NRAILA.org for further updates on both of these measures.

Hooray for the day anyway... They'll be back though, another day by the way!

That's really good.


If we win in D.C. vs. Heller, I see the anti-gun groups going toward laws on ammo and the construction of weapons themselves.

It's time, I think, for the people of the United States of America to have some way of tracing political ideas to their source. So many of these ideas seem to arise as if in a cloud, which makes it impossible for us to evaluate them in context of the people who originate and disseminate them.

For that reason it's essential to register every politician and assign each an identification number that he or she must be required to attach to every expression of any idea. Anyone transmitting said idea is of course engaged in a political activity and must also register for an identification number that must be attached to the idea at the time it is transmitted. All modifications of the idea must also be identified with the numbers of every person engaged in the modification.

Only then can we have true democracy.
