Stamford reps seek to ban phantom weapons
STAMFORD — Some city legislators say homemade guns are a recipe for disaster, and if the state and federal governments won’t do anything about them, they will.
Can't have the serfs making firearms.
Laws have to keep up with technology that allows people to create plastic weapons using 3-D printers, and to build guns from parts they can buy, unregulated, online, said Jeffrey Stella and Rodney Pratt, both District 9 Democrats on the Board of Representatives.

Stella, a retired New York Police Department detective, and Pratt, a bail-enforcement agent — with support from fellow representatives — have proposed an ordinance that would ban 3-D weapons and so-called ghost guns.

Bridgeport? Where the milling machines are made? That Bridgeport?
Since news of this ordinance spread, Police Chief Armando Perez said, the department hasn’t encountered any ghost or 3D-printed guns.

“We really haven’t seen any lately,” he said. “I think they got the message, but I don’t think they’re going to stop.”

Connecticut lawmakers push to ban ‘ghost guns,’ force owners to show permit
During a public hearing that lasted more than eight hours, the judiciary committee considered seven gun-related bills with lawmakers divided between those seeking “common sense” gun laws and those strongly defending the Second Amendment. In the middle of the emotional hearing, a woman who had threatened in a text message to “blow away” a Republican lawmaker and opponent of stricter gun laws was escorted from the Capitol building.

Advocates are continuing their yearslong push for tougher laws, even though they said Connecticut already has the nation’s third-strongest gun laws and the fifth-lowest gun death rate.

One of the bills states that an owner who is visibly carrying a gun must show a pistol permit when asked by law enforcement. Currently, police must have suspicion of a crime in order to force a gun owner to present the permit. If the gun owner refuses and no crime has been committed, police say there is nothing they can do.

Oppose: H.B. No. 7219 AN ACT CONCERNING GHOST GUNS.
This is a gun registry bill that will redefine the State’s definition of a firearm to include unfinished “frames or lower receivers”. This will also include frame or lower receiver blanks, casting or machined body that still requires further machining or molding to be used as part of a functional firearm. This could also ban the re-assembly of pre-1969 firearms that don’t have serial numbers.
Oppose: S.B. No. 60 AN ACT CONCERNING THE PRESENTATION OF A CARRY PERMIT.
This bill targets permit holders. It will allow police to stop, frisk, and detain lawful gun owners if a police officer just simply sees your holstered firearm. This bill removes the “reasonable suspicion of a crime” from the current statutes that just passed in 2015 and will allow police to stop you for no reason.

Bearing Arms on the hearing:
Anti-Gun Activist Uses Police Officer To Break The Rules
As such, you can’t take a firearm receiver into a place where guns aren’t allowed.

One anti-gunner, trying to make a point, used a police officer to circumvent the rules.
After all, the law expressly forbids him from bringing that receiver into the hearing, yet he did it anyway. He was apparently so convinced of the righteousness of his own cause that he figured the rules didn’t apply to him.

Davis took out Goliath with a piece of clothesline and a rock. A well thrown rock can break a skull. Granted, suicides with a sling are difficult as configured, but as suicide is the number 1 death by gun and number two suicide method is by hanging, a serious suicide attempt can be made with a sling. But suicide is illegal....
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
