Saw an ad for Dannel Malloy during the World Series

By some PAC. It touted the gun laws he passed in Ct, said crime is down and that his opponent would repeal them, making it easier for felons to buy guns. It ended by saying the republican is soft on crime. I loved it! More democrats should use this argument.

in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Other than that, I think he's been a disaster.

Probably will vote for him by default but wish there was another progressive candidate running.

I'm genuinely curious. My college roommate was Donald Williams, who just retired as president of the Ct state senate, who from what I could tell from the bills he helped pass did a good, progressive job. How has Malloy affected that or do you think I'm mistaken about Don too?

Did he raise taxes on the middle class and give breaks to the rich? What is poor business conditions? Has the unemployment rate increased from the last administration?

Haven't seen the one you mentioned yet. Sounds really good, with a great message.

Felons couldn't buy guns before the law unless it was an illegal purchase

Guns laws don't really prevent anyone from getting a hold of a gun and killing someone.
Just like drug laws don't really prevent anyone from not being able to purchase drugs.

You could ban all guns, and people would still get a hold of one and kill if that is their intent.
