NEWTOWN, Conn –-(Ammoland.com)- Earlier this week anti-gun U.S. Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal, both of Connecticut, along with Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (D-CT) introduced legislation that would require prospective handgun buyers to pass a test and submit to fingerprinting and a background check in order to acquire a license just to have the opportunity exercise their Second Amendment rights.
(The purchaser also would have to pass subsequent background checks at the point of purchase.)
The bill is based on a biased and seriously flawed study by the anti-gun, Bloomberg-funded Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
This legislation, which amounts to a poll tax on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, will certainly be met with significant resistance on Capitol Hill.

You want me to take a national test you liberal dirtbag? If you give me a 50 state carry permit and District of Columbia, I might consider it. I agree with Rick, I also am appalled to be from this azzhole gun hating state! How about printing that all of the gun crimes committed are not with legally obtained, owned, or registered weapons! Oh wait, cause it’s the liberal media that does the reporting!!! What a joke!!
And again Congressional Democrats prove that they lied through their veneers when they swore to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic.” They ARE the Domestic Enemies as long as they support disarming American Citizens, and not ONE WORD from the Founders in their writings on this subject support their stance. In fact, James Madison, the Father of the Document that the y swore to uphold said that they are TRAITORS for trying this, You can read it in Federalist #46. And agree or choke on it. Your choice.
How about a National Speech License?
I am appalled to live in the same state as these three brown-nosing Obama ass-kissing politicians. Chris Murphy came to my door years ago asking for my vote when he was just starting out in politics. He told me that he was always going to protect the interests of his constituents, and protect our Rights. He lied to my face! The people of Connecticut are tired of being shackled by gun restrictions that make absolutely no common sense, spearheaded by a venomous, uncaring Governor. When are the voters in this State going to realize that the constitutional infringements doled upon… Read more »
I suspect that this is little more than another “I have my name on a bill” kind of politics. The proposals have absolutely no chance of passing through either house and becoming law. Its a waste of our elected representatives time, and therefore our time. What a waste.
I suggest that any politician responsible for passing such legislation be required to hold the targets.

Another form of Federal Gun Registration..,Another form of Treason
I propose a law that would do two things: 1 – ALL those who want to people our halls of government be required to undergo vasectomies and/or hysterectomies, so that at least they can no longer reproduce once elected to office. That would or could eliminate the fear of “dynasties” like the few with which we are now going to be saddled – Kennedy, Bush, Clinton…; and 2 – all of them undergo complete probes by TSA to ensure that their brains are not where they hide their drugs…
I am so sick of Bloomberg and his cronies! He’s more annoying them Kim and Kanye Kardashian!
