CT Defense League At Arms Over Senator’s Dismantling of the Constitution

Jan 29, 2016 Stephen Krauchick

Comments from CCDL President Scott Wilson: "Senators Blumenthal, Murphy and representative Esty are over-stepping their bounds with regards to their authority.

This is a bully tactic that is being deployed by legislators that in reality have little to say about Connecticut state laws. What the three of these people are doing has absolutely zero to do with state law anyway. Esty, Blumenthal and Murphy are actually trying to circumvent existing state law by forcing retailers into enacting a policy that dictates the manner in which law-abiding citizens can carry firearms." "As a 2nd Amendment rights organization, we…
