Attention Connecticut Litsters

At least one of your U.S. Senators is a total idiot.

"I would argue that we should go towards a discussion about a pathway in which there's absolutely no screening. ... And then maybe, let's just make sure that if folks get to this country, and we suspect them of having connections to terrorism, that they shouldn't be able to get an assault weapon." —Sen. Chris Murphy

I thought for a moment there that perhaps Phrodeau was a Connecticut Senator but then when he didn't specifically call for the removal of dangerous triggers from all firearms I figured it wasn't him after all.

One of the two Frank Lloyd Wright houses in CT is for sale. Almost 7000 SF and on about 15 acres for only a flat $8Mil.

Holy crap, dude. Idiot doesn't begin to cover it. Although it's not so much idiocy as governance by poll. It seems clear Murphy licked his finger (go there, go ahead) and raised it to see which way the winds were blowing (note: that's lick and blow and I haven't even made my point yet), releasing a vetted, focus grouped statement consisting of nothing but an affirmation of what his re-election campaign staffers think the voters of Connecticut want to hear. More disturbingly, if their assessment is correct, I fear for Connecticut. And that's a statement you don't often hear.

Well, listen, it's important to remember that no matter how many times he (Trump) referenced 9/11, the four countries that were of origin for the 9/11 attack, none of them are on this list. And I would argue that we should go towards a discussion about a pathway in which there's absolutely no screening.

Right now people can come to the United States from Europe through the visa waiver program, where we know they have extremist cells, without -- if they're citizens in Europe -- without almost any security vet. And the Europeans have been miserable at sharing information with each other about threats inside that continent.

So I would go towards a sort of European vet in looking at screening.

And then maybe, let's just make sure that if folks get to this country, and we suspect them of having connections to terrorism, that they shouldn't be able to get an assault weapon. That's a huge liability in our law today. I think those would be two important steps that would make us more safe rather than this EO which makes us less safe.

Why did you edit out the middle bit?

Why did you edit out the middle bit?

It's a complete "thought" and doesn't lose any of its brilliance standing alone.

Vetting of refugees. Point system for immigrants. And no assault weapons or handguns for anybody. Best way to go.
