God job Kix!
<<I'll write more about this tomorrow, but there was a great part when one representative asks me....
"you're from Hartford, right"
"yes"
"There are no gun shops, right?"
"yes"
"how did Hartford get all the guns"
"Not legally, and I don't think those gun owners are going to go and register them"!
The look on her face was rather priceless and got a small chuckle from the corwd.>>

Criminals by definition do not respect the law, why should they respect city boundaries. Only those caught up in the machinations of the legal system on technicalities will be affected by these registry schemes. As it is now, you are subject to arrest for nothing other than "someone called," That constitutes "alarm" and the subsequent "breech of peace" charge that will warrant being placed on a "registry of offenders list." Getting off that registry once the false arrest is proven in court, as it has been in the past, may prove more difficult. I didn't notice any remedies for that in the discussion so far.
Don't get me wrong. I think the registry law and the range safety law will serve nothing more than to cost time, liberty, and money, but I'm afraid the current political make up of our alleged representative government will dictate in the end. I will do everything within my meager resources that I can to mitigate that.
I posted my two cents on the Courant's board.
EDIT: I meant to open with Good Job Kix.
