Connecticut Passes Gun Grab While Other States Dig In To Protect 2nd
Amendment
April 5, 2013 by Ben Bullard
The Connecticut Legislature passed its sweeping package of gun control early
Thursday, vastly tightening restrictions on firearms ownership in a State
already regarded by gun control advocates, long before the December 2012
Sandy Hook tragedy, as having the Nation’s fifth-toughest gun laws.
The State’s House of Representatives closed the deal shortly after 2 a.m.
Eastern time, approving a broad ban on scary “assault” weapons and high-
capacity magazines, along with a host of other regulations on ammunition
sales and mental health checks.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy promptly signed the bipartisan bill into law,
following a day of demonstrations in which 2nd Amendment supporters greatly
outnumbered gun control advocates outside the State Capitol.
The new laws, which also require “eligibility certificates” for
prospective gun buyers and mandate universal background checks — even for
private sales — begin taking effect immediately. Other provisions, such as
the creation of the Nation’s first “dangerous weapon offender” registry,
will be implemented over time.
As the Legislature spent the day preparing to vote on the measure, anxious
customers made a run on guns and ammunition at specialty stores throughout
the State. Shops already experiencing chronic shortages sold out of weapons
and ammo. One store owner called it “panic buying,” motivated by genuine
fear that government was further tightening the noose around regular
citizens’ 2nd Amendment powers.
The rush to interject government into private gun ownership in States where
leaders invoke mass shootings and public safety fears has been offset in
other States by Legislative action designed to ensure residents their right
to bear arms won’t be infringed.
The contrasting approach of lawmakers in the gun-grab States and the gun
rights States is stark, with 10 States recently enacting laws that actually
broaden residents’ gun ownership rights. Thirty-six States have passed some
form of “nullification” legislation intended to repel the enforcement of
any Federal-level gun restrictions that may pass Congress.
That’s essentially a Constitutional challenge by the States, daring the
Federal government to expose its own double-standard take on the Bill of
Rights by inviting it to invoke the 10th Amendment’s Supremacy Clause in
order to enforce gun control that violates the clear and simple language of
the 2nd Amendment.
