Malloy answers question on background checks two ways: long and short by Dinx http://blog.ctnews.com/dixon/2013/03/28/gov-malloy-answers-question-on-background-checks-two-ways-long-and-short/#comment-53946 Dinx Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:40:45 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/dixon/?p=4518#comment-53946 Nothing wrong with background checks for all gun transfers. And make sure that there is a mental illness database that includes everyone and anyone who takes the prescription psychotherapeutic drugs that have shown to turn people into killers.

But no gun bans, no mag limits, no calling a regular rifle with a grip an “assault weapon”. Stay away from the Constitution and the Second Amendment.

He’s goofy. More lies lies lies…that’s all democrats can do because the 2nd amendment does not exist to them. Guns are property..we cannot sell our property w/o a government OK? Outrageous. a BR chk did not stop the sandy hook killings. And I could care less about the sandy hook killings. I was not involved. Sounds like democrats would be happier if next time the kids are killed with a shotgun…idiots. 2nd amendment – don’t like it? Move to China. I won’t be changing any of my guns or mags.

Earl, agreed! I am outraged, and I will be even more so if this continues to be swept under the table. I’m thankful for Rep. Mae Flexer’s outrage, and I’m wondering what my spineless Danbury legislators think about the matter. I’m also outraged at the many local opinion writers at papers around the state who are making it an issue of party politics, ridiculing sexual harassment training, etc.
Thanks, Ken, for training your pen on this issue. However, the onus is not on the tiny minority of female legislators to keep the pressure on achieving gender equity and human rights– where are the voices of the intelligent, ethical, male majority at the Capitol?

Hands down the biggest partisan hack in Hartford. Amazing set of double standards when it comes to party loyalty. I think the term is ” Ethically Challenged “

Hewitt was a Republican ? One party rule will eventually be the downfall for Connecticut. He gets only a slap on the wrist for such a comment to a young intern ?

Earl Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:29:55 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/dixon/?p=4492#comment-48520 Why wouldn’t Rep. Hewett be censured for his sexually harassing remarks and behaviors? “We love Ernie Hewett very much” is no excuse for letting him continue to create a hostile environment for women at work. There are laws against it and should apply to him.
Where is the outrage? Or is $6,400 a fair price for getting a pass on this?

]]> Comment on Sen. Looney presents immigration-related testimony for General Assembly hearing in New Haven by Marc Sandy Block http://blog.ctnews.com/dixon/2013/03/04/sen-looney-presents-immigration-related-testimony-for-general-assembly-hearing-in-new-haven/#comment-48111 Marc Sandy Block Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:54:38 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/dixon/?p=4484#comment-48111 Several practical comments to those who would deport the undocumented immigrants. First, consider demographics over dumb-ographics. I recently heard the California news that the ratio went from 15 workers to a retiree to maybe 4 or 5 to 1. The reporter observed: “It would have been alot worse, were it not for the immigrants who are having children who are working. Second, are those employers who could not continue their businesses without the immigrant workers. “We want them on that wall. We need them on that wall.” And third, I have enjoyed the American dream [starting in Bridgeport and now living in Weston] because my immigrant grandfather was able to drive to work at Sikorski’s for twenty years and my father was able to drive on his job for forty years and support our family. Aside from the points made by others on revenues, insurance, and safer roads, providing limited driver’s licenses is helpful economics and a right thing to do.
