I also believe the backlog is in new permit applications. The article is intentionally misleading.…Read More The only new background check requirement is on private sales of long guns. That can't be a huge increase since all handgun transfers and all dealer sales were already background checked. The increase in permit applications makes a lie of the claim that the number of gun owners is decreasing.

Catherine, you're right. I think they are referring to Permit applications. Background checks have…Read More always been done in CT for gun sales through any dealer and they are done at the time of purchase, so there is no way they would be "back logged". Applications for new permits however, they can back up when a law is passed that makes people who may have been putting off getting a permit submit applications.

This article doesn't make sense. Which is it - gun sale background checks or gun permit background…Read More checks? They are two entirely different things.

If the evidence and DNA prove that you did the crime of murder, then you should be put to death. I…Read More as a tax payer, do not wish to pay for you to live in jail, as the cost is well above the poverty level for some people (above $40,000.00).
There are families who make less than that a year and we have to pay your way in prison? No, this is not logical and I for one would have the person put to death by the cheapest means available and to (Blank) with if it's human or not. You the murderer, didn't consider that for the victim.

Laura, the WARNING by Russia against Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 was "absolute gold," which…Read More Obama's policies prevented the FBI from taking seriously!! This is according to a former U.S. Attorney. He said this morning that if the FBI had been allowed to act correctly on this warning, these bombings on Monday would have been prevented!
The president is not only derelict in his most essential duty, to PROTECT Americans, but he actively obstructs the prosecution of the "War on TERROR," because he denies that radical Jihadi terrorists exist and want to kill Americans!
How can Americans be protected if our military can't, and the "Justice" dept. WON'T call TERRORISTS what they are?! Consider the radical Jihadist who slaughtered many at Ft. Hood--labeled by O "workplace violence"!
O refuses to acknowledge that radical Jihadis are our ENEMIES--in fact he invites CAIR and other radical Muslim enablers into the WH, and appoints them to government jobs!
His real mouthpiece, David Axelrod, encouraged the idea that "Tax Day" and right-wing extremists were likely responsible for the vile acts perpetrated at the Marathon on Monday. CNN, Esquire and others were absolutely salivating for such to be true, and indulged in disgusting speculation blaming a conservative group or persons!
Oh, to live in a nation where our enemies are identified by name and it's considered acceptable in popular discourse to err on the side of insult when speaking of those who are trying to kill us!
