I got a movement for you Connecticut - get out a sharpie and draw a line through the "Constitution State" slogan on your tags as a show of a sign of solidarity.

we love our firearms and the jobs but dodgeball is just going too far, who NEEDS more than 10 balls to play? I don't think our founding fathers envisioned advanced lightweight tactical balls being used in sport.

Back when the 2nd amendment to the constitution was drafted, the arms of the day for citizen were on par with what the military utilized:  musket to musket  Now, things have already become too lopsided, semi-auto versus automatic, etc.  To be honest, in a free society, as long as a person does not have any criminal record, he/she should be permitted to own arms on the same footing as what's available to our military and law enforcement.

I wouldn't register those high cap mags.  At some point, they are going to push too far.

Original Message Connecticut lawmakers reached a bipartisan deal Monday on what they consider some of the toughest gun laws in the country and hope will be a model for other capitals, pushing to expand the state's assault-weapons ban and impose new restrictions on high-capacity magazines.

The proposal comes hours ahead of the expected release late Tuesday morning of the National Rifle Association's report on school safety proposals. The NRA commissioned the study in the wake of the Newtown shooting, as the group pushed for enhanced school security rather than measures to curb gun ownership.

The Connecticut deal, by contrast, focuses on gun control measures -- though it left some on both sides of the debate unhappy. Gun control advocates, and particularly families of those killed or injured in the December Newtown shooting, were disappointed the proposal only included a ban on new high-capacity magazines -- and not existing ones.

And gun-rights groups argued that the latest proposal would not have prevented the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

"They can register magazines and do all the rest of this stuff. It isn't going to do anything," said Robert Crook, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition of Sportsmen.

Gun owners, who've packed public hearings at the state Capitol in recent months, voicing their opposition to various gun control measures, are concerned they've been showing up "for virtually nothing" after learning about the bill, Crook said.

"Clearly we've made our point," Crook said. "But I don't know what anybody can do at this point in time."

Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday which would include a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead. The proposal includes new registration requirements for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets.
