On the guntalk radio show and podcast last Sunday, Tom interviewed a fellow from the Connecticut gun rights group.

He said that the recent anti gun laws, that were just passed there, were in spite of the overwhelming presence of gun owners at the hearings.
Their legislature just went behind closed doors and did what they wanted.

Many years ago, the city politicians where we lived decided to pass some very draconian anti gun laws.
Laws that would have greatly interfered with a huge gun show that had been held there for years.
Thousands of gun owners marched to the legislative chambers to protest.
It made no difference and the politicos passed the laws anyway.
We are dealing with some very arrogant people who have little regard for the wants of their constituents.
Getting them out of office is the real cure to this never ending problem.
