Real talk about repealing the Second Amendment

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont says he’s moving ahead with efforts to ban the continued possession of so-called assault weapons, even though several Democratic lawmakers in the Nutmeg State have shown little appetite for the governor’s gun confiscation plan.

But Lamont’s bill doesn’t go far enough for one longtime politico in the state. Steven Stringer, who’s served as a press secretary on Capitol Hill and did a stint as a PR flack and adjunct professor for Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, says in a new column that the gun control movement needs to quit “tiptoeing around the Second Amendment” and start pushing for what they really want: a full repeal of the Second Amendment and the eradication of the right to keep and bear arms.
 

It’s hard to imagine in the wake of the most recent mass school shootings, but I recall fondly when guns were a regular part of my adolescence in Connecticut.
