45. That's what the "common sense gun control" push has been about all along.

The government does want your guns, despite lies to the contrary.

I'd love to see polls from CT on what the people of the state think on this issue, now, today.

The way they use those poor victims of the Newtown shooting to push laws that would have had no effect on that incident is about as tacky and transparent as you can get. This isn't about stopping "mass shootings." It's about disarming the populace, by small steps if the big steps are rejected, as they were last year. But it will fail here too. Hopefully the government won't dare the people to fight for their rights.

Many, maybe most, but not all, right? Isn't the Marlin Model 60 an example petronius Mar 2014 #19

Obviously they need to make a distinction for centerfire vs rimfire. NutmegYankee Mar 2014 #21
