and having an aneurysm?

Link for those that dont value their sanity: http://www.c-span.org/Live-Video/C-SPAN3/

a bunch of elitist sheltered politicians in a room telling the american people whats best for them while telling "heart felt emotional" accounts of newtown connecticut to push an agenda

they are making heroes of themselves for "doing whats necessary" to "make us all safe"

[hippie metal]

I couldnt last 1 full minute without hearing"newtown AR" this police cheif from philly is the biggest jackass so far. Hes mentions 20 dead children, 20 dead babies, 20 dead young angels, multiple times already. Seriously, come up with an actual argument.

[HeavyMetal]

standing on the graves of innocent people to push a completely irrelevant set of laws that wont prevent what they are using as the very basis for the ban to begin with.

My mother actually told me that she didnt want me watching gun stuff and then typing about it on her computer because she didnt want it traced back to her by the government......I need to get the fuck out of here. And because I'm Pro Gun and I can see the government is pulling ALOT of shady shit, I'm an extremeist fucking sheep

I'm going to go up to Hartford on Monday to listen to the fucking cocksuckers in our government tell us what we can and cannot do. Luckily there will be dozens of progun lawyers there. We'll see what happens.

I'm going to write something this weekend so if I do get the opportunity to speak on Monday, I'll have something ready to go.

Hey Phil myself and a few friends want to attend to show our support, but don't really feel comfortable speaking at the hearing. Do you think we should still go even if only to show our support for our rights?

[customcreationsllc]

like I said before just pin in an 100 round mag, no longer an AW

[Nick]

Saw this list posted with an article about the 2013 AWB, can't say with 100% certainty that it is accurate tho

[Buffalo Phil]

I do not think the AWB will pass on a Federal level...but CT...that's another story....

I honestly don't think I will even get a chance to speak, but I'll be there regardless. It's good to show support, you should go anyway, bring who you can, the more people on our side the better.

I really want to know how the fuck these laws are going to stop people from shooting each other. Doesn't matter though, we'll just keep throwing laws on the books we can't enforce...

I'll be there too! Want me to pick you up?

Looks like we had an SiS presence at the state legislative building this past Monday! I was there myself but I didn't give testimony. My good friend did though, he drew number 3 and was able to speak before the rest of everyone. It seemed like there was a 10-1 ratio of people pro-gun vs. anti-gun, which I thought was excellent.

If this state passes any new firearm restrictions or related legislation, it is safe to say the government no longer represents the people and it is time something is done about that.
