Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has signed legislation that would prohibit gun possession by people subject to a temporary restraining order. The bill, one of several signed in recent days, was celebrated by domestic violence groups who said it would help protect victims during a critical time – the days between when an order is filed and the parties appear in court. But gun right supporters said it was an overreach by the government and that guns would be taken away with no probable cause. |

| In CT its guilty until proved innocent. A restraining order is very easy to get. Many times domestic violence is just a trumped up charge |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
