Goodies from Ol' Remus
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily—given the political realities—very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of hand guns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal.

sales of used guns, creates a new "ammunition eligibility certificate," and mandates a ban on the manufacture or sale and a registry for high capacity magazines. Do these buffoons have any concept of how many millions of magazines larger that 10 round capacity exist, or that virtually none of them carry a serial number?, says James Rawles in this article, Connecticut Gun Owners Betrayed by Their State Legislature, at Survival Blog.
I hope that Connecticut gun owners as well as gun, ammo and magazine makers vote with their feet. There are a lot of gun-related companies there: Colt, Winchester, Marlin (which recently shut down after 141 years of operation in Connecticut), Mossberg, Sturm-Ruger, H&R, Stag Arms, A.H. Fox, US Fire Arms, Wildey, Shelton Ammunition, Okay Industries, Ronan/NHMTG, C-Products, Mec-Gar, G.T.B., and many more.

The civil rights movement is dead. In place of any real urge for equality is a determination to perpetuate inequality in order to keep the movement going. It's as if everyone wanted to keep the great feeling of winning WWII alive by landing at Normandy, shelling random tourists and then invading Paris to liberate it from the Nazis while refusing to listen to the Parisians when they insist that the Nazi armies are long gone.

Connecticut - The
owner of Stag Arms, Mark Malkowski, said he has had numerous, lucrative
offers to relocate to gun-friendly states that he is more seriously
considering, particularly if his brand is hurt by passage of the law...
Located in New Britain for the past 10 years, he said he has 200
workers with 20 states vying for him to relocate with good deals.
The same analysis was repeated by Jonathan Scalise, president and owner
of Ammunition Storage Components...
Scalise manufacturers magazines, selling them to box stores, gun
manufacturers, dealers and distributors across the country. He said 52
of his products would be illegal here, which represent 80 percent of his
business

There are cases which cannot be overdone by
language, and this is one. There are persons, too, who see not the full
extent of the evil which threatens them; they solace themselves with
hopes that the enemy, if he succeed, will be merciful.
