Yes, I still have my shotgun.
It works elsewhere because it's a different society with different values. This fact escapes you.
I've proven it to you with the restrictive handgun laws in place in NY and CT. You, being obtuse, choose to ignore it.

You haven't "proven" any points Mr. Carlton, aside from a cattyness and peevishness in conversation similar to a teenage girl going through puberty, sure. Thats been proven time and again, old news.
You have said that CT has restrictive handgun laws, yes, and you have also pointed out as we know, that the majority of the people killed was with an automatic rifle. The laws on the books may seem overly restrictive to you, however, I do not consider them restrictive in the least if either of these weapons were-
1- available in the first place
2- if available, not secured properly
3- accessible by a known potential problem.
Your restrictive CT handgun laws require an application with 70 buck fee, 8 weeks of waiting for approval more or less, and you gotta take a handgun course, the NRA's pistol course. The sad part, is that CT law IS pretty restrictive compared to other parts of the country, which is the core issue here.
