Does this qualify as an "Infringement?" This is a case of zealots (commies) trying to out do New York and have the top position on the manifesto. Commiecticut is a small state and may not get the attention of Colorado but it is in the "cradle of communisim." The framers are rolling over in their graves. I hope Colt and Stag pull out but Colt is so far up the govt's ass with it's contracts I doubt they will move.

No. It's to force manufacturers to re-tool at a higher capital expenditure.

COLORADO CBI DENIED MY TRANSFER
I was just down at the tanner gun show, and was trying to do a trade of one of my pistols for another pistol that a FFL dealer had. Long story short my background check failed. LOL
Now I have to send in the appeal form.
I had two forms of ID and my military orders with me, my record is clean as far as I know. ( I just bought a pistol 4 months ago and another ruger 10/22)
If they keep this up I wont be retiring in this state.

More on the national side of the legislative agenda than the state side but interesting and timely, nonetheless. Some thoughts and observations on the subject of the proposed Manchin-Toomey amendment at link below - by someone well versed in the gun control arena
The “Pro-Gun” Provisions of Manchin-Toomey are Actually a Bonanza of Gun Control
David Kopel • April 15, 2013 2:20 am
The Toomey-Manchin Amendment which may be offered as soon as Tuesday to Senator Reid’s gun control bill are billed as a “compromise” which contain a variety of provisions for gun control, and other provisions to enhance gun rights. Some of the latter, however, are not what they seem. They are badly miswritten, and are in fact major advancements for gun control. In particular:
1. The provision which claims to outlaw national gun registration in fact authorizes a national gun registry.
2. The provision which is supposed to strengthen existing federal law protecting the interstate transportation of personal firearms in fact cripples that protection.

Manchin-Toomey is dead, 54-46.

Despite emotional pleas from families of victims of the Newtown, Connecticut, shootings and broad public support nationwide, the plan to extend background checks to online and gun-show sales failed on a 54-46 vote, six votes short of the 60-vote hurdle needed to clear the Senate.

As I've alluded to before, gun control's an issue Obama shouldn't try to tackle, if he thinks he's gonna win.
First the snivelling from libs on his proposed medicare and ss cuts, then this example.
Even some libs are gonna have to wake up and smell their Starbucks double-veintes before much longer.
One of the tragedies of the bombing is that it's taking focus off of Benghazi, as did the gun bill.

Regardless of public opinion...Obama to take executive action.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/...ns_718027.html
Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take "executive actions" to deal with guns.
Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill.
On a conference call with "stakeholders," Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.
"Look I know you're going to say that I'm just being an optimist and I'm trying to put a good face on this. But you know I've been around here a long time and we've already done, because of you, some really good things," Biden said. "Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he's going to be taking later this week."
After the Newtown shootings, Obama took a number of executive actions to expand research into gun violence and other areas favored by the gun control community. He took the actions without Congressional approval, leading to outrage by some conservatives.
Gun control measures failed in the Democratic-controlled Senate earlier this week.

Update: A White House official told BuzzFeed the executive actions Biden was referring to on the call are part of Obama’s original list of 23 executive actions on guns announced in January.
