if all the firearm manufacturers got up and left the state of Connecticut because of this imbecile, that witch could then be told that she was the main reason that 88,000 more people are unemployed.

she would probably say it is worth it.

too bad those companies would just move to other, more firearm friendly states.

Is your point that we should allow weapons of mass destruction because by doing so we create jobs?

I dont consider firearm manufacturers producing firearms for private use to be weapons of mass destruction. so your post is very moot.

Well you forgot to add "national security" and "protect all Americans" to your post to get even more of an emotional jolt.

LOL at the description of guns. Only from the left.....

Did you read the proposed bill?

It does NOT say anything about "confiscation", FFS...

The bill, if I acted, allows a tax break of up to $2,000 for anyone who turns in a designated "assault weapon" for destruction in a VOLUNTARY "buy back" program.

Sounds like a great idea, to me. A person inclined to WANT to get his/her weapon out of circulation, for what ever reason, would get a good chunk back of what they paid for thing.

This is the kind of non-confiscatory, creative measures we can take to help reduce mass killings. We'll never be able to ban the ARs ( nor should we, IMO), but we can reduce how many are floating around out there.
