‘Insane’ Crowds As Customers Flood Connecticut Gun Stores Before Vote
Gun stores all over Connecticut were packed Tuesday, one day before lawmakers were expected to vote on a sweeping package of laws that would ban military-style assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
“They’re insane. I’ve never seen them so busy before,” shopper Shari Reilly, who bought up several high-capacity magazines, told NBC Connecticut.
Gov. Dannel P. Molloy, a Democrat, has said he will sign what could be “the toughest law passed anywhere in the country” — if it gets through the legislature.
Connecticut would become the latest of a handful of states – following Colorado and New York – to enact strict new gun-control legislation after the mass shootings in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater and Newtown, Conn., shool. President Obama was scheduled to speak in Colorado on Wednesday to push new federal laws.
Gun manufacturers, ammunition makers and gun store owners in Connecticut have said their businesses will be threatened if a stringent new gun control bill becomes law.
“I feel like we have one foot being pushed out the door,” Mark Malkowski, the owner of AR-15 manufacturer Stag Arms, told NBC Connecticut. He said his company has received nearly two dozen incentive-laden offers to move out of the state.
“They’re really good offers,” Malkowski said. “They are offering tax abatements, they’re offering to build you a factory.”

They are attacking us state by state.Get’em while you can,probably not a bad idea to prep some and bury them somewhere,a lot of people are doing that.
Take them up on those offers. Move.
Their new state motto: Connecticut- “Home of the Sandy Hook Hoax and where they tried to kill the Second Amendment”.
Screw them…
they are making criminals out of law abiding citizens. what is wrong with that picture? shall not be infringed!
