Coyote night hunting. Mass ny allow it why can't we? You can kill more at night than day. They are nocturnal, and are only available to shoot sunrise and then sundown currently. If we can hunt them at night we can kill more and help the deer population. Coyotes are over populated. They changed 2017 rules allowing us to hunt them all year instead of having a month off for mating
It will generate more income Suppressor hunting is another good one too. |

The couple that have to do with getting rid of the 2013 AWB are tricky.
Pre 2013, we in CT dealt with the 2004 AWB..... If they were to seriously get rid of the 2013 ban, be prepared to have to pin and weld muzzle brakes, and have fixed stocks again, unless you have a pre94 receiver 
Oh and possibly not be able to mount a can to your posties, depending on what your feeling on that was pre2013. |

What happens to those who added all sorts of features to their registered post 94 AW's? Could open up a can of worms. None of the pro 2A bills will pass, they never do. At this point rolling back the PA 13-3/PA 13-220 would be a small start. But no way Malloy would sign such a roll back and no way in hell the Democrats in the legislature would allow such a bill to be voted on/pass. |

The only shot we have in these ban states is Don Jr.
We're very lucky that the Trumps are from a ban state as well, so they know how all of our rights have been infringed. If they were from a state like Texas, they would care much less about the states like CT. Hopefully they can push something forward that removes a states ability to restrict 2A rights, and that must follow the federal rulings only. If we ever had a chance in this fight, I'm excited to think it's now. |

Reading these always scares me, and while there are a few obvious bad ones, I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of pro 2a ones as well. Ralph Sampson is a fucking BOSS. My Rep btw. He listens to me. Tea partier. I want him to run for governor. |

And I think we should be allowed larger shot sizes. No2 isn't big enough for a clean kill on a coyote. |

Quoted:
you can use larger than 2 on private land when its not shotgun/rifle deer season. Deep website has info. I'd use a turkey choke. Or a coyote choke. The coyote choke is proven out to 70+ yards kills I don't have private land to hunt so I don't look at those regs all that much. |
