The fact of the matter is that our shit hole legislators in the US have allowed a progressive definition change since the mid 1970's. The definitions currently in law in Connecticut disagrees with you.
Arguing that point is nothing but a non sequitur and red herring. That argument is used as a litmus test to disavow, deride, and categorize the argument user a partisan against x policy.
The argument needs to be on the validity of the law, not on the classification of a single gun or word. To many here in CT are using sophistry arguments to the n'th degree. They are failing because after hearing the litmus test spoken people of moderate to semi right persuasion have tuned out. It has become clear that the cases and Federal judges here in the North East have no where to go. Even given a good supreme court ruling, it is very unlikely we will see a reversion to the law prior to this.
What will most likely happen is the law will be amended in single action points so that each change is a law unto its self. Requiring each one to be challenged, heard, decided upon individually. Dragging the issue out for decades.
As for people saying they are in support of CT. I think that is talk, nothing more. Here is why. The rest of the nation is sick of hearing "how to live" from the great north east. Which has a habit of pontificating life. How many times have you thought New York City should just shut the fuck up. When it comes down to it, we will see a similar issue as Detroit. Let the region die in its own festering vomit. Those of the more conservative and gun minded liberal persuasion will leave. I know i am hoping to soon, I know one other on this board that is also. Aside from that i can count probably 5 firearms holders who are in the process of relocating. The general thought is, the fight is null and lost here. Better to move to a state when we have a larger minority and better chance of making a large issue out of this.

I don't know why anyone would choose to leave their home state, regardless of how anyone else feels about it, due to illegal laws. I agree with what Dave just wrote far as the law being unlawful. Trouble is I don't see any class action by the People of Ct taking the task to court. I keep a percentage of my income for supporting legal matters on a pro gun scale, simply meaning I put my money where my mouth is. I am fortunate to be able to help support what I believe in, but I never moan and groan and do nothing. Just not in me. a class action by the People of Ct could easily, affordably, put gun Rights back in proper perspective.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
