Hey gun control advocates, CT already had an assault weapons restriction

[LibertyLemming]

Connecticut has bans on defined 'assault weapons,' which includes selective fire firearms unless purchased before October 1, 1993, and a limited list of semiautomatic AR, AK, and SKS variants. However, it does not restrict magazine capacity

The left has only just begun. Right now, they feel justified in lying as necessary to push their agenda. They have a goal in mind and will do anything to accomplish it.

Regulation > tougher regulation > restrictions > tougher restrictions > banning some guns > banning all guns > demanding people turn them all in > Feds confiscating registered guns > Feds going door to door searching for more guns. And if it goes the way it did when governments did this in the past, the defenseless people are killed by government.

 

[Politico]

All states have restrictions against illegally owned assault weapons.

The loopholes are in the "exceptions" and why these laws don't work.

I seriously doubt if you have any idea how to interpret this law as you have pasted it here.

Clearly, somebody forgot to turn it on. I mean, a weapons ban solves all the problems, so if something bad still happened it's because someone forgot to turn the law on.

Yes, we want everyone to end up in FEMA camps.

 

[Missourian]

The gun banners don't wants to hear this.

They either cover their ears (or eyes in this case) and chant "Gun Bans Work" to themselves until all thoughts to the contrary are subjugated.

They have made up their minds...facts are irrelevant.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Gun bans are a failure. Anyone looked a Illinois? Why would the US want to follow such a failed model??? Illinois is a significant example that when the laws are clamped down on the law abiding citizens owning guns or wanting to own guns, we see an increase in gun violence among those that are not authorized to own guns.

Shhhh...

Laws (including gun regulations) do not prevent criminals and mentally disturbed people from procuring and using them. Gun control laws affect only the honest people that would use guns to protect themselves and others from criminals and mentally disturbed people with guns.
