HARTFORD, CT — Firearms Policy Coalition issued the following statement regarding Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont’s signing of House Bill 6667, (embedded below) a measure that seeks to abrogate the fundamental rights of peaceable People to acquire, possess and bear protected arms:
In a twist of bitter irony, HB 6667 attacks the core fundamental and Constitutional rights of the peaceable People of Connecticut and those who visit the “Constitution State.”
The measure seeks to create criminal liability for the mere exercise of a fundamental right, doubling down on a slate of immoral and dangerous laws running the gamut from keeping, bearing, acquiring, building, and possessing protected arms.
Governor Lamont and his legislative co-conspirators need to be reminded that the fundamental right to keep and bear arms fall outside the purview of their offices. They are simply not in a position to so casually dispose of those rights that are naturally intrinsic to the People.
Governor Lamont’s embrace of state violence to disarm and disadvantage peaceable People–throwing them in government cages and ruining their lives at best–reveals the naked depravity and conceit of the state in its efforts to promote its immoral policy preferences.
To the peaceable People of Connecticut–you are not alone. We see you. The nation sees you. All peaceable People across our nation seeking to be free from the violence of the state in its efforts to disarm and victimize you are engaged together in this fight for freedom.
And to all of those who supported and passed this immoral legislation, we say simply this: “Fuck you. No.”

Since when is adherence to the Constitution a punishable requirement of law?
Seems this is what ‘SHITHOLE’ states do!
Oh yeah ? Big deal . Watta ya gonna do about it ? Flap your gums as usual. All show and no go .
The anti-2nd Amendment cancer in Connecticut has reached stage 4. Next time when Democrats majority lead increases, they will push to outlaw guns , but with “exceptions”. It matters not what the Supreme Court says. Democrats consider the Constitution just another piece of paper that is in their way of total tyranny. As they refine how to rig elections, and as demographics change due to the issue of illegal immigration which Democrats push to allow these illegals to vote in state elections, the fate of the 2nd Amendment in states like Connecticut is in dire trouble, teetering on the brink… Read more »
So what’s the solution ?
It looks like several states are in competition for the title of most opresive and unconstitutional state in the union.Surprise!! they are all lead by members of the same political party. It’s neck and neck ( should be in nooses) between RI,CT,NY.NJ,MD,IL,Ca,Wa, and Or. It’s a big field but there are some still trying to break out like Pa,NM, and Va. What a shame that we can’t cheer for a leader of freedom usurpers.
I heard yesterday that the first constitutional challenge of the assault weapons ban here in Washington State was judged constitutional by a federal judge. That’s all I heard because the news stations in Seattle are definitely woke and that’s all they had to say……..We are getting closer day by day.
These assholes ban inanimate objects instead of the asshole constituents who picked it up and committed the crime…case in point, asshole newsom trying to add another amendment banning guns because we have tried everything and it just doesn’t work, well asshole you and your ilk have not tried fully prosecuting, keeping them in prison or executing the blatant murderers. You might want to try that.
When are you Yankees gonna get some cahones and March in force on the state capital like us Virginians did a couple years ago when 50,000 of us showed up on the Governors doorstep- armed ! Oh , he wasn’t there to see it ; he lite outta town “ on Vacation “ but the next election was a clean Republican sweep !
