As some of you know tomorrow lawmakers will decide our faith. Without going into details: basically if the Bill passes tomorrow it will make half of the stuff at the gun store illegal. I don't know what else to do. I have done everything... I vote, I called, emailed, sent letters to our state officials.

If this bill becomes law then I really don't know what to do. I don't want to leave the state since I have so many relatives here.

This might be just the beginning. Nothing is stopping them from banning knives, baseball bat, walking stick, hockey stick... Welcome to the Constitution state *cough* Communist state *cough*.

I apologize in advance if I'm a bit out of place. Mods: feel free to lock it if you don't think I'm allow to post things of this nature.

I can only imagine how desperate you must feel. My prayers are with you and your state,
It's so easy to feel down about what's happening to our country. But we must have hope.
If you have to move then make sure you story doesn't go untold to save others your pain.

Ken, I pray that the CT legislature does not pass this bill. Most of us here on the SY forum are outdoorsmen. We use knives, axes, and guns. Some are Republicans, some Democrats, some independents, some are even libertarians. What we share is a love of freedom. We are not particularly political on this forum, but some issues cry out for comment. If the government goes after the guns, they will go after the knives. The horror that happened at Sandy Hook school is no reason to punish those who had nothing to do with it. Good luck.

My prayers are with us all. I truly worry that there will be a spark that sets something off beyond the expectations of those that would ban firearms. Not anticipating, not hoping. Just worried. I've never seen divisiveness at this level before in this nation. I've never seen the polarization before that's occurring. I'm not sure the nation can predict the impact that this sort of legislation might have.

Maybe it can. Maybe that's what the 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point ammo for DHS are for...I pray for peace and cooler heads to prevail. I pray that the wisdom that drafted our Constitution might distill on the minds of our current lawmakers.

Get it over with and move to Texas. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Wishing you guys the best...keep up the good fight.

I also hope that the voices or reason will be heard and these FREEDOM LIMITING laws fail, in a historic fashion.

Any word?

You're welcome in PA if it all goes down the tubes up there.

Politicians at every level are emboldened by promises of campaign funding (or threats of de-funding) by singularly powerful and wealthy individuals in this nation.

At the same time, Federal politicians are calling out to their state colleagues in a blatant show of disrespect for the 10th Amendment.

Along with DogTired, I'm worried that a spark will find the powder keg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

For now I'll cross my fingers and hope CT comes through today with their State Constitution upheld.

It echoes the words of the PA Constitution:

They are still voting it is not looking good for us tho...

sadly that quote is also in the Ct Constitution...Most people in CT have totally forgot about it.

Also thank you everyone for your support. We will keep fighting the good fight.

Not to take any focus away from what is happening in CT but I've been keeping an eye on what has been going on in Maryland. Here is the latest from one of the delegates from Maryland.
