Next time you look in the mirror, the person looking back at you will be a member of the shadowy and elusive GUN LOBBY.

 

Seems the media in CT doesn't like it when ordinary people gather to protest nonsense legislation.

 

But the gun lobby cowed the committee into inaction by flooding the hearing room with more than 200 people in March. Ranking Judiciary Committee member Sen. John Kissel, R-Enfield, is right that lawmakers should listen to constituents

Just remember, when the gun controllers talk about the *gun lobby* they mean us. Ordinary people who enjoy shooting guns, and just want to be left alone.

I'm loving the comments on the article, i think every comment tore that editorial apart.

As if we don't have the power of free will...

 

Thats not to say astroturfing isn't real... But gunowners are anything but.

This guy is clearly a nut job. I mean seriously why would anyone speak up for what they believe in? I mean this isnt USA or anything.

This is one of the odd things I find going on reflexively in the mind of most left leaning types.

 

They can't fathom that gun owners would speak up for their rights without being prompted by some nefarious force. They also can't fathom that gun control laws actually harm honest law abiding gun owners. They also can't imagine a lobbying group that is made up of people actually concerned about their own situation. What I find really odd is I see this through process in folks who lived through a nice chunk of the civil rights movement.
