The Commission believes that ―assault weapons like the AR-15, as well as large capacity magazines (LCM‘s) often used with those weapons, have no legitimate place in the civilian population. The Commission finds that the cost to society of easy civilian access to assault weapons and LCM‘s vastly outweighs the benefits of civilian ownership. By contrast, the Commission finds that the significant benefit to society from eliminating civilian ownership and possession of assault weapons and LCM‘s can be realized with only a minimal burden on persons who want to hunt, engage in target practice or use weapons for self-defense. They remain free to engage in those activities with a vast array of long guns and handguns.

Yet another vapid iteration of the "demon gun" meme. Nor is there any cognizance of a "system failure", where,(apparently) a single mom appealed to social agencies for help without response.
Seems to me Sandy Hook - and manifold CT government agencies et al - are engaging in a massive "disinformation" campaign. We ought to be asking the " CT powers that be" why they didn't catch Adam Lanza before he went on a rampage. We ought to be asking why - in a society where our every thought, action and utterance is subject to government surveillance - they weren't aware of the threat he posed. But that would be an indictment of the progressive meme. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
