Connecticut Gun Control

I am sick and tired of hearing all this BS about gun control and safety !
Let's call it what it is, an attempt to disarm the peasants!
If it were really about child safety and crime prevention, We would have legislators and "experts" on TV everyday telling us how they plan to take the guns away from the criminals.
But we don't, No one has EVER come forward with even one idea as to disarming the hundreds if not thousands (just in CT) of felons,gang bangers,rapists,dealers, and generally just evil types... Nope instead they are coming up with new ways to try and remove firearms from LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!
They are limiting and outlawing the firearms I can own, trying to make it illegal for ME to buy certain guns and ammo, But nobody seems to care that the "bad guys" are still armed, still not following the law, and still committing the same crimes as before.Now they can do it with less fear of reprisal because the "good guys" are being stripped of the means to defend against them.

I have heard the arguments from both sides, and while I agree with some of the claims from the "anti-gun" crowd, I still haven't heard of a viable solution.
Yes I agree SOMETHING has to be done to ensure that we don't have another Columbine or Newtown, But taking away my rights isn't going to stop a mentally deranged person from going on a killing spree.All it will do is create more VICTIMS!
I have owned and carried firearms for over 20yrs and have NEVER killed anyone! I have never gone on a shooting spree, I have never endangered anyone,threatened anyone..Nothing. (And I even own one of those scary black rifles)
Firearms DO NOT make you a killer! Spoons DO NOT make you fat, and Pencils DO NOT make you misspell words. They are objects, nothing more nothing less. PEOPLE make these actions happen! People are the problem, not the object.
Are more guns the answer? NO! We definitely need to control who has access to firearms. I agree totally with background checks, I also agree that the mental health community and law enforcement should be sharing info that could save lives AS LONG AS IT ISN'T ABUSED!!!!
However as long as a person has passed the criminal background check, he or she should be allowed to own ANY firearm they choose. Up to and including full auto and suppressed.
Destructive devices should still be regulated and require registration but that would be it.
What we definitely need and should be concentrating on is MENTAL HEALTH and CRIME PUNISHMENT!
When there are no real consequences for committing crimes, what incentive is there for following the laws?
Kill someone and get 10-15yrs in a country club with bars....Get an education while in there or tie up the courts system with frivolous lawsuits and appeals.End up getting out in 3yrs with good behaviour and time served. If you are a juvenile when you commit the crime you can get off even easier. Victims of crimes seem to have less rights then the criminals these days. END RANT......For now!
