🤷‍♀️ ok

I'm thinking they're obtaining them using other means than legal. I have to present my permit to buy ammunition in CT.

Inside man for sure, or someone with intimate knowledge of their inv control

Probably normal parts of the curriculum and just angry republican parents tbh

I've never seen police respond to someone bringing a book into a school.

Are you telling me you think the criminal element is making their own bullets in their garage?

Pizza

books are normal 6.35% tax guns and ammo 6.35% + 11% already, without the bill.

Beyond the incredibly slanted and propagandistic platform on which it was published and the author's recent post history (I'm sure your app for the unvaccinated will go swimmingly, congratulations on your InfoWars appearance!) I'm sure this is a conversation that is worth having from sources that are worth trusting. Gun nuts, when you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. Either own that or shut the fuck up.

This sounds odd, but we have been using Nature's Miracle enzymatic cleaner since moving into our "new to us" home. We had the carpets pro cleaned, of course, but we have had some mud, some puppy puke, and some ?? stains show up and I swear this stuff is a miracle, just like the name infers.

there plenty of people that are just as capable of killing people without a gun. anyway, back to the taxes. regular sales tax is applied to guns and ammo aswell as another 11%. if this isn’t enough to fund these programs, maybe ask yourself where this 17% markup is going in the first place. surely 17% of taxes paid on guns and ammo in ct should be boatloads of money already. wheres this money at?

People complaining about not being able to afford to live in the wealthiest county in the country when they work at McDonald’s

Have to wonder why CT doesn’t want its poorer citizens to be able to defend themselves…

Maybe we should make ct a dry state so no more drunk drivers kill people

It’s economic segregation not racial segregation. Go to a poorer state and all the colors live together because every neighborhood is affordable. I wouldn’t really call this a CT issue, I’d call it a byproduct of a wealthy state

You're a bit of a piece of shit.

“taxes aren’t punishments” and then you follow up with “why should the general taxpayer be punished with additional taxes..” doesn’t make sense. so gun owners shouldn’t look at this as a punishment but the general tax payer should? as i said in a previous comment, use the extraordinary taxes they ALREADY accumulate from guns and ammunition and use that for the programs.

As said in the article, this only affects law abiding gun owners. We buy our ammo legally, the people causing most of the issue aren't eligible to carry the firearms in the first place, let alone purchase ammunition.

Why punish both kids if that little bastard, Johnny, is the one who broke the vase?

Keep crying 😭

What are you smoking? Seriously? What right are you losing, the right to forgive eating a whopper after the firing range ?

It doesn’t. It just makes you far less capable of killing many people in a short period of time, through malice or negligence. An unarmed criminal is far less of a threat to those around them than an irresponsible gun owner.

Guns are a weapon. They serve only one purpose.

“How many catalytic converters is an innocent persons life worth?”

They aren’t innocent if they’re committing a crime. And again…I SAID POSITIVE ID. That doesn’t mean you shoot just because they have a weapon and at no time in my reply did I say that that’s what you do.

“I have actually fired a gun before, more than a few times which is why I am so disturbed by your idea of allowing and encouraging people to treat petty theft as a threat on their life.”

No. I’m simply stating that a person should have the right and ability to adequately defend their property from potentially armed criminals.

“You claim the majority of gun owners would fire until the 100% knew the situation but when you have a gun in your hand and you see someone doing something sketchy, you don’t know what they’re doing, your adrenaline starts kicking in, you start shaking, then stand up suddenly, you don’t know if they have a weapon, you hat do you do?”

Again, that’s brandishing and a completely hypothetical reaction not based on anything factual related to this situation. If you want I can provide links to surveillance footage of actual deadly force encounters and you can see for yourself how people react in these kinda of situations.

“I’m your magical world you claim every gun owner would take the time to do a threat analysis of to determine the exact situation but since we’re not all super genius Sherlock Holmes types who can take in all the evidence and calculate the proper course of action in a split second, people will have to make a snap decision.”

What are you even talking about? You’re saying in my magical world but I’ve been in these scenarios both training and in real life. It doesn’t take a sherlok holmes to have a firearm holstered, approach a situation from a position of dominance, and issue verbal commands to stop the criminal act, or defend yourself if they present you with deadly force. Making it known that there’s a high probability that criminal acts can be met with deadly force if escalated, deters crime. If not, armed guards wouldn’t exist.

“When untrained people are making snap decisions with a gun in their hands, innocent people WILL die. Maybe it won’t be you that does it, maybe your too good for that, but someone else will.”

That’s why training goes hand in hand with being armed and I’ve always said that.

“How many catalytic converters is worth an innocent persons life?”

Then don’t call the police and risk their innocent life when you have a problem. 🤷‍♂️

This is annoying

Taxes aren’t punishments. When you pay a gasoline or a tobacco tax or an alcohol tax it isn’t a punishment. Why should the general tax payer be punished with additional taxes to cover the costs of dealing with the fall out coming from gun owners actions? Why shouldn’t those costs fall on the shoulders of those who actually have a weapon?
