Groton, CT – -(Ammoland.com)- The Connecticut Citizens Defense League addresses letter from members of Connecticut’s Congressional Delegation sent to the Connecticut Food Association.
Letter below:
Comments from CCDL President Scott Wilson:
“Senators Blumenthal, Murphy and representative Esty are over-stepping their bounds with regards to their authority. Instead of concerning themselves with federal issues, they are using the Federal Government letterhead to harass a state level association (Connecticut Food Association). ”
“This is a bully tactic that is being deployed by legislators that in reality have little to say about Connecticut state laws. What the three of these people are doing has absolutely zero to do with state law anyway. Esty, Blumenthal and Murphy are actually trying to circumvent existing state law by forcing retailers into enacting a policy that dictates the manner in which law-abiding citizens can carry firearms.”
“As a 2nd Amendment rights organization, we wish to remind our two senators and representative that there are nearly 250,000 legal carriers of firearms in Connecticut. Their attempt to arm twist the Connecticut Food Association into imposing a policy on lawful gun owners is beyond their job description, and does nothing to enhance public safety. They should concentrate on fixing Washington, because it needs it”.
About the CCDL:
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League was formed in 2009 by a small group of concerned citizens as a non-partisan organization to advocate second amendment rights in the state of Connecticut. Since their founding, the group has grown to over 22,000 members from across the state.
Thanks to this large supportive base, the CCDL has become a fixture at the state capitol, and well-recognized by committees that see firearms related bills.
As the go-to organization in the state they are consulted regularly by lawmakers who have questions and concerns about pending legislation or existing laws. For more information on the CCDL please visit https://www.ccdl.us
This is one of the reasons that I changed my political affiliations last year. The citizens of Connecticut USED to be considered as very intelligent, educated people. Unfortunately, they have chosen to keep electing ultra-liberal idiots like Murphy and the rest, as well as Obama’s favorite lap dog (Malloy) who sits in the Governor’s seat. Manufacturers and corporations are fleeing CT. Now, these elected officials who have taken oaths to “Protect and Defend” the Constitution are AGAIN trying to trample on our Rights. They are an embarrassment. SHAME ON THEM!
Is it against the law in for these politicians to use official Congressional letterhead for communications that are not related to existing or proposed legislation?
CT is no longer on my list to do business with or visit.
It’s because people don’t “feel safe while shopping” that they ‘go armed’ in places like Hartford. Dimwits!
Hopefully, Don Trump will lock these poor bastards up and eventually send them to Africa to starve!
I am a Democrat, not a socialist nor communist. The right to remove a trannical misguided government is why there is a 2nd Amendment. It was written for that express purpose. The dangers of 250 years ago are still with us. Make no mistake it would take firearm owners to support the states they live in to do such a thing if ever. Cannot augment the states national guard, the armed malitia, if disarmed. If we are required to match the serial number on our firearms to an address it is foreseeable the trannical government would take them. I would… Read more »
A couple of things to Google. Search for “$303 TRILLION of Oil Derivatives put on back of Taxpayers”. Yes, when oil was going for over $100 per barrel, the bankster gangsters made bets that the party would last forever. The gangsters got their paid for lawmakers to pass legislation that if they lost their bets, that the taxpayer would pick up the tab. To the tune of $303 TRILLION, with a “T”. Can you understand why these rats don’t want anyone to have weapons, which might be used by some deranged lunatics who are losing everything, to march these scum… Read more »
An American Icon “Colt Firearms” has gone belly up again in Hartford, Connecticut.. Most of their buildings are vacant except for hundreds of Feral cats that live there feeding on the pigions. Sounds similar to the democrat decay that has plagued Detroit since the inept, corrupt dems took over..Most other gun manufacturing has already left Ct. and Stanley works stopped most production in the Unconstitution state..General Electric is also leaving and Gov. Maloy’s answer is more of the same including raising taxes..When the last working, taxpaying person leaves the Ct. sewer, please turn out the lights..Bless the common sense found… Read more »
Most Democrats want to control all people, but in all reality they can’t even control their own lives.
It is time to ban the two party system because the democrats cannot provide worthy candidates anymore. Besides it is all about the ILLUSION of choice.
“There is simply no need” for them to have publicly paid for body guards who carry firearms.
Nice to see Blumenthal, the guy who lied in order to embellish his military service record, take the lead on this one. He should be the ‘poster boy’ for all the Democrat liars who constantly push for more gun restrictions.
