Connecticut lawmaker wants names of gun owners to be made public

If the CT Legislature does this, then they have removed any intentions anonymity behind the Concealed Carry enforcement of Connecticut's technically Open Carry Laws.
And since any anonymity would be gone, the case is *much* stronger for Open Carry.
So, go ahead, CT Legislature, figuratively shoot yourself in the foot.

    Well, this is going from bad to worse. I will have to be prepared for the protesters showing up at my house if this goes through. Nice knowing you all!

    This just in: yet another stupid White House petition! This one was started by a friend of a friend on Google+:

    https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitio...

    I just LOVE the way conservatives are making a mockery of the whole White House petition site!

    Excerpt: "...introduces penalties to elected officials for proposing and enacting [gun control] legislation that is found unconstitutional... The penalty for PROPOSING LEGISLATION at the Federal, State, or Local level that violates [the Constitution] is 5 years imprisonment 1st offence, 2nd offence is life in prison. Should an unconstitutional bill or proposed legislation be enacted into law, ordinance, or code at the Federal, State, or Local level will be defined as high treason against the government of the USA."

    Uh, wait a minute.

    Ruby Ridge was over a sawed-off shotgun that was one-quarter of an inch too short. And IIRC it was an entrapment case.

    All of this because nobody showed up in court when the SCOTUS was deciding US v. Miller (1939) to explain to them that short-barreled shotguns DO have a military (militia) use.

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer: "First they came for the gun owners, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a gun owner (me: or didn't like guns, or thought they were scary, etc.).......And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

    This kind of knowledge (or carnal knowledge..ha) could increase the auctionability as well as the over all value of said lectern. "This lectern has been pounded on MANY times."

    here is the thing. the book upon the lectern is filled with words, opinions, ideas, place cards. to me, more interesting than just about anything.we all have needs-this is nothing special. but what you haul up onto your own lectern?-well, now that's something.
    even if I don't agree with it
