Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection, it's too much work to change the law

[Flynn]

This is just downright laughable...

The proposal would increase the definition of large capacity magazines from 10 rounds of ammunition to 15 rounds. For our agency to be successful, the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit (SLFU) would need additional personnel and resources to ensure accurate records. The SLFU would need to adjust the number of possessed magazines people have previously declared if the new maximum capacity increases. This will take time and personnel to do, which are not provided for in the Governor’s budget.

Read that as "That's too much like 'real' work!  We don't want to work that hard!"  🤮

Would be interesting to know how much we are paying for all these legal battles with the state over unconstitutional laws. 

Illinois is broke but we keep it up.

Sounds like a bull crap piss in your ear lame excuse and no where near a valid reason for anything!

The state does not care about the cost since they are using our hard earned tax dollars they stole from us to drag out the court cases. The real cost is what the citizen has to pay to get his day in court. One person suggested that when it comes to defending a law that is unconstitutional, that the congress critters that passed it and the governor that signed it should have to do it out of their own pockets just as the citizen has to. Now that would be interesting to see .

 

 

AND YES I know that will never happen but it does show the disparity in the process.

I don't think they should be forced to do that work and taxpayers shouldn't be out that cost.  Just help them out by making all magazines legal.

That's an interesting angle. The Executive branch changing the law without the Congress? 

Chuck judicial review and it would get even better.
