Connecticut – Your recent call for increased infringements on the rights of Americans (more gun control) coupled with decreased vetting of foreign entities has now reached ‘the Lunatic Fringe’.
Our organization (Connecticut Citizens Defense League) has no opinion on immigration as a sole subject, but when you conjoin calls for gun control along with mass immigration of foreigners, it is obvious what you are attempting to do.
You are now prioritizing non-citizens over legitimate citizens of the United States by calling for gun control to accommodate those non-citizens.
The purpose of your idea is simply to push fanatical gun restrictions any way that you can. This reasoning is simply unacceptable to most Americans.
Let’s face it Senator Murphy, the bottom line is that you very simply do not trust your fellow Americans with firearms. The fact that you cling to this position is clearly evidenced by your ceaseless calls for gun control.
What is particularly troubling is the fact that you are doing so while admitting that some immigrants from certain regions of the world may be so dangerous that we need to ban legal firearms to reduce the ‘risks’ of these people being here.
It is sheer lunacy that you would risk the lives of your fellow citizens in such a manner if given the opportunity.
Your way would make all of us less safe if you eliminate the means for us to protect our lives and our families. Therefore, you and your beliefs are more dangerous to this nation than any immigrant from anywhere in the world ever could be.

CCDL, Inc.
About the CCDL: The Connecticut Citizens Defense League was formed in February 2009 by a small group of concerned citizens as a non-partisan organization to advocate for second amendment rights in the state of Connecticut. Since their founding, the group has grown to more than 14,000 members. Thanks to this large supportive base across the state the CCDL has become a fixture of the capitol, and well recognized by committees that oversee firearms related bills.
CCDL is also actively involved at the state Board of Firearms Permit Examiners. As the go-to organization in the state they are consulted with regularly by lawmakers who have questions and concerns about pending legislation or existing laws.

Well said Mr. Wilson. There’s a couple of ways to look at politicians who distrust fellow citizens to be armed. One is quite simply that they are tyrannical and don’t want their power challenged. Another is that they themselves don’t have the self-control to be responsible gun owners, and don’t believe anyone else does either. Then a lot of them fit into both categories. As for gun laws themselves, they aren’t about guns, they are about control. The only ones made safer by gun control laws are criminals and tyrants. When anyone espouses support for gun control, ask yourself, “In… Read more »
This doofus is in serious need of a mental health checkup. Citizens of Connecticut please see that this man gets the assistance he needs.
What of those who voted for him??
If they,the voters, choose to stand mute, then they deserve the screwing they will most certainly get, at the hands of such “elected things” as this senator.
Chris Murphy, as most old timers would say, “boy” you is educated BEYOND your intelligence.
How is it that there are enough like minded people in Connecticut to get Chris Murphy elected? Is there no one else to vote for. Does no one else want the job?
Eye c nofing rong wif hiz komments
it is heartening to see a straight forward and concise rebuttal to the statements of Sen.C Murphy it is amazing that a state that has a slogan of” we are still revolutionary” has elected officials such as Murphy making such statements
Democrats lack of trust of citizens is legion, from their imposition of draconian slave laws, the Black Codes, the KKK, the murder of Blacks and Republicans who tried to free them to the increasing modern day welfare system, not for those who truly need it, but for anyone who will cast a vote for them. The Democratic Party has a long and sordid history of subjugation of anyone who does not bend to their will. The way they have always attempted to accomplish this is the same way tyrants across the globe have since time began, disarm your subjects so… Read more »
