Gun-Controlling Connecticut: Nathan Hale Would be Ashamed

By R.G. Yoho / 8 April 2013 /



A brave Connecticut school teacher is murdered and the government seeks to disarm law-abiding citizens.
Does that sound familiar?

It should, but not for the reasons you think.
Perhaps you should know that I’m not talking about this past December’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The brave Connecticut school teacher I am describing was Capt. Nathan Hale, who was hanged as a spy by the British during the American Revolution in 1776.
The government that hanged him as a spy was the same government that tried to disarm the law-abiding people of the Colonies.
The man who said, “I regret I have only one life to give for my country,” was martyred in the cause of liberty.

Although Nathan Hale didn’t live long enough to see his country eventually gain its freedom, the Colonists would finally throw off the rule of the British and become the United States of America.


But jump ahead a little more than two hundred years.


Today, it isn’t the British who are marching to disarm the law-abiding citizens. Strangely enough, that role is being carried out by the legislature of one of those original thirteen Colonies.


This past week, legislators in Connecticut passed sweeping gun control legislation that betrays everything for which Nathan Hale so bravely gave his life.
Their shameful and tyrannical actions have shredded the Constitution, spat on the Second Amendment, and defecated on their state’s once-proud history.
The Redcoats are not coming by ships from across the sea. They are already among us.

They wear expensive suits, carry smart phones, and behave like cock roaches.


And make no mistake about it: these foes of liberty, like the British, also have their hangman’s nooses prepared for anyone who dares to oppose them.
As a result of their actions, the state of Connecticut should now remove every statue and memorial dedicated to the brave Colonial patriots of their state. The gun control legislation they passed is a desecration to that for which Connecticut’s Colonial patriots gave their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
Everything those brave men fought to establish has been given away by gutless, self-serving, vermin-like despots, who clearly care nothing about the land they have been given and the blood that was shed to purchase it.


Connecticut is no longer the land of the free, but rather, the home of the slave.

White House: Colorado & Connecticut Set Precedent For Federal Gun Control

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Philip Hodges

Colorado’s new gun bill that was signed into law last month puts into place stricter background checks for private and online gun sales and a ban on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.

In Connecticut, the state is set to pass its own gun control law:
“[S]tate legislators announced an agreement on measures to ban new high-capacity ammunition magazines, increased background checks, a new registry for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, creation of what lawmakers called the nation’s first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry and an expansion of the state’s ban on automatic weapons.”

Jay Carney said that these recent, strict gun control efforts in Connecticut and Colorado (where the President will be visiting this week to campaign for more gun control laws) show that the country is ready for stricter federal gun control measures. He stated that they “reflect the capacity around the country for bipartisan action including here in Washington.”
So, 2 states enact or are about to sign into law strict gun control measures that infringe on people’s 2^nd Amendment liberties, and that means it’s some kind of precedent that needs to continue across the country?
Colorado and Connecticut are the 2 states where the most recent massacres occurred, so it’s not surprising that those states have taken political advantage of those crises. Just because they responded by infringing on the 2^nd Amendment doesn’t mean that everyone else in the country wants the same thing.
Of course, they claim that they’re only responding to people’s outcries for their governments to find a “solution” to gun violence.
But not even the polls are on the White House’s side. CBS took a poll right after the Newtown murders, and support for stricter gun control laws was at 57%. Now, less than 4 months later, support has waned to 47% in favor of stricter gun laws.

This is like saying that everybody should be in favor of Obamacare, because healthcare costs are going to come down. Yeah, maybe in 4 states. What about the rest of the country? Well, costs are going to go up for the vast majority of the country under Obamacare, but that’s irrelevant. At least Obamacare is “working” for a few states. So, therefore, it must be a good idea for everyone. And I’m sure that, when pressed about it, Carney would say that those 4 states “reflect the capacity around the country” for bipartisan support for Obamacare.

The gun-grabbers say they are supported by popular opinion, and that nothing they’re proposing is unconstitutional. But they’re wrong on both counts. They start with their agenda, which they try to force fit into opinion polls and the Constitution
