75. "doing enough to prevent from happening again in CT" ---I don't see it, Governor

Sun Mar 8, 2015, 12:46 AM

Mar 2015

I was involved in a high-power weapons shooting range issue in a small CT town recently and state police were right in the middle of the pro-gun group backing a landowner who proved to be a liar and tax cheat. Making it worse, the town has no firearm regulations or zone for shooting so there was no town oversight of the activity. Men were walking around the neighborhood open carrying, no one was checking, and shooting was going on day and night including at explosive targets. Neighbors who complained were ignored---until they won an appeal on the local level.

I am not impressed with Malloy at all but he's better than the repugs so I voted for him.
