So I was raised to learn something new everyday and do one nice thing everyday.
I learned something from you and you did one nice thing. Both our days are half complete. :).

I’m going to hazard a guess you’re not a member of the Algonquin Roundtable.
In any event it means to, for example, provide funds for mental health professionals to deal with people who have mental health problems. And to provide the same care for law enforcement personnel.

I don’t think that. Sorry if I implied that.
The issue is it seems that citizens have the right to possess firearms. At the very least they are a tool for rural nutmeggers.
Ammunition is already taxed above sales tax. This tax is being applied to a distinct demographic. We can assume this tax is part of a social program to depress gun ownership. As a stated it’s a relentless taking.

In fairness it’s a relentless chipping away of gun owner’s rights.

Please friend, don’t use that source to form any opinions. When you see “defund” think “re-allocate”. When you see “build the wall” think “arrest the employers who exploit desperate people”. When you see “woke” think “aware”.
I’m sure your military duty showed you how much can be accomplished when “the people” work together. We have to stop fighting amongst ourselves. If you lose your job and they come and take everything you worked for away ……. You’re part of the working class.

It’s an easy whataboutism. The fact is gun ownership is a complex issue. They provide recreation on skeet fields for the (generally speaking) affluent. They provide a tool for hunting for the ( generally speaking) working class.
In rural areas they provide a means of self-protection. I don’t have much use for ammunition but it seems like a particular demographic is targeted and made a scape goat.

Agree 100%. Let’s get the EV drivers to pay their fair share.

Hear Hear!!! Well we already have the added tax on ammunition. Hmmm. Let’s tax those well-healed EV owners for the roads they use. Let’s get those roads safe and stop exploiting the poors and their fossil fueled death machines.

I guess I was thinking she may have already had them.
This is why I suggested it would be necessary to get the police, etc involved. She can be conserved which would get the firearms out of her possession if she’s a danger. Permits are revoked in that situation.
Up until relatively recently one didn’t need a permit to purchase guns. There were some controls but you could have purchased a firearm at a tag sale.

The fact whether she has a permit doesn’t answer whether she has firearms or not. I’m not sure how this information would help you. If she’s a danger to you or herself the police/her family/probate court need to be involved.

I haven’t spoken to my neighbor in months. But when a big branch fell in my yard he was over with his saw to cut it up and take it away. As others say Connecticut is a funny place but it’s not full of hate. I suppose it’s easy to confuse “mind your business” with being cold.

One would need more information to give a helpful answer. Is this a civil suit against someone who has committed an assault? The practical problem is that it is generally difficult to collect a judgment should you prevail in court. Hence unless you can afford a hefty retainer it will be difficult to find an attorney to represent you.
It’s been my experience that judges in Connecticut are fair, not hostile, and understand the law.

Lived in Willimantic for twenty years, it was and is a kind town. Diversity in the schools, help for the helpless, Low income housing…… all the things that so-called liberal towns eschew. So I’m not sure how you find the town racist.
101 ………. Poor swamp Yankee victims of union busting and offshoring. Ironically enriching the financial sector who reside in those faux liberal towns.
The Brandon store is closed I think. Never said it was perfect here.

Once again sorry for your experience. Not sure how I got off into this tangent. Was just trying to point out that Windham county is not the hot bed of backwoods racist people it’s made out to be. Actually it’s the opposite.

Windham county is crawling with LGBT folks. Haven’t heard of the problems you had. Was this years ago?

I’ve been driving around the “Corner” all day. Only saw one Brandon sign on 203 in Windham.
Why the Willi Rico dig? You making my point for me?

Literally one town with a group of idiots. I’d rather deal with idiots like that than supposed liberals who would drink a glass of turpentine before they’d allow low income housing or share educational funding. Or allow halfway houses or group homes or zoning changes.
