Hypocrisy in banning guns in Connecticut, but still making them here
The proposed gun plan would ban the so-called assault weapon and so-called large capacity magazines from ownership to Connecticut residents. Is this not the same weapon and magazines which is proclaimed that it’s sole purpose is to kill? Are these not the so-called weapons of mass destruction? Are these not the same weapons that must be banned to save innocent lives? Is this not the weapon that is said should not be in the hands of civilians?
The gun plan would ban ownership of this weapon of death, this life-taking demon in Connecticut and within the same breath would create an exemption to allow the continued manufacturing of said demon within our borders for sale to any other state.
Are lives not innocent outside of our state lines? Would this weapon cease to be the killing machine it is proclaimed to be in someone else’s state? One can only ponder, is it possible this weapon ,this killing machine, can somehow be transformed into a mere semi-automatic firearm by crossing state lines?
All eyes are upon Connecticut, and from where I sit I can see HYPOCRISY in its darkest form. Connecticut legislation and anti-gun activists are screaming and demanding that this AR-15 shall kill no longer, for we ban thee from our state, for you are the demon for you are the killer of children. But as for you gun manufacturers of the AR-15, you can stay and continue to pay your tax revenue.
This message that is being sent, this course of action being pursued, is far worse than the Adam Lanzas of the world, for we proclaim within the same breathe this AR-15 is a killer and we can still make them here and collect tax money, and as long as it kills other kids in other states, that’s OK.
Is this what our legacy will be? A legacy of hypocrisy? All eyes are upon we citizens of Connecticut. It is time for us to accept the truth and face reality that the human is the most destructive weapon on the planet, not the objects for which we humans command. For if we continue to dismiss the truth, the only thing we will need more of is body bags.

How tragic that the limited imagination and courage of our political leaders results in a jobs program that is the making of killing machines. Let us create jobs of the future not jobs of the 19th and 20th century. Those who assemble high tech weapons can produce products for civilians rather than products designed to kill them. After the second world war, the huge armaments industries quickly converted to producing civilian goods. With the political will, and the political energy, we can do this.
The problem is that most politicians have spent their entire life, focused on making money, and getting elected to office. They most likely never held a gun, or experienced the enjoyment of shooting a gun.
Because of this, and the fact that most of them who are in a position to pass gun laws, already have armed security personal, think all guns should be outlawed.
This is their personal agenda, and they don't really care who is responsible for the tragedies that occur, they will continue to go after the law abiding citizen.
