This is why legislators need to face strict personal liability for the costs related to both fighting and defending laws that are found to be civil rights violations. Otherwise there is absolutely no zip zero nada disincentive to repeatedly and continuously creating unconstitutional laws. Waaaaaaaay back in ancient history the media might have done their jobs and alerted the public about the amount of public money being wasted or that there was a violation of the constitution but now the media are little more than cheerleaders for tyranny.
In case you missed it the Governor of CT is the latest to raise in the game of crush the constitution poker. This is after one of the Congressional Campaign Committee chairmen just announced that they plan to ride a wave of gun control laws to victory in the 2014 elections. I won't post the link because it identifies those involved and I don't want to make it partisan. I mention it because it illustrates the fact that those running the all out war on the 2nd Amendment have no intention of slowing their attacks on our rights even a little bit for at least 2 more years.

Malloy said on Thursday, however, that “we run a risk of letting this critical moment in history pass us by. None of us want that to happen, and none of us should let it happen.”
Referring to his plan as “common sense” proposals, Malloy said that he would change the definition of “assault weapon to any semiautomatic that has at least one military characteristic, and ban the sale of these weapons in our state.”
At the present time, a weapon must have two characteristics of a military firearm to be considered an “assault weapon.”
The governor’s plan calls for prohibition of the sale of the AR-15. Those Connecticut residents who already own this firearm would be required to register it with the State Police to obtain a certificate of possession. Sales of the AR-15 could only be made to a licensed firearms dealer or out of state.
Malloy’s plan to make background checks universal broadens the criminal history that would make an individual ineligible to purchase a gun. His proposal would not only include any violation of the law involving a firearm, or the use or threat of force, but also non-violent crimes, like operating a car under the influence or possession of a controlled substance within the last five years. Gun owners who are convicted of these crimes would have their firearms revoked, according to Malloy’s proposal.
