Basically this is a way for the Donks to coerce us into Fraud-By-Mail... where our ballots may or may not be counted depending on the mood (or political alignment) of the mail handlers that day.

Polling Places to be Gun Free Zones!
Second Action Needed!
HB5448 - AN ACT CONCERNING SECURITY OF CERTAIN ELECTION WORKERS AND ELECTIONS-RELATED LOCATIONS
Not to the surprise of any of us, but anti-gun politicians have PASSED HB5448 from the Government Administration and Elections Committee and it is ON ITS WAY to the Judiciary Committee, where we have a REAL CHANCE at STOPPING this law. Timing is crucial here and we need to act IMMEDIATELY.
Due to YOUR RESPONSE to our last action alert email, where 1,200 members acted and sent messages to their representatives, the bill’s language has been watered down, but we need to stop it! However, Representative Matt Blumenthal and Senator Mae Flexer WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to repress your rights. The updated language is available here.
This fight is far from over and we MUST continue to pressure legislators and let them know we are not standing down.
CLICK HERE to let your representative know you disagree with being disarmed and creating more gun-free zones. It couldn’t be any easier to make an impact in this fight.
Thank you for taking less than 5 minutes out of your day to help ensure we aren’t further stripped of our right to carry a firearm in Connecticut.
We also need members to contact legislators on the Judiciary Committee individually as well. Once you have completed the click-through we ask that you CALL a Senator or a Representative sitting on the committee in effort. We hope to make this straight-forward as we can by offering names and phone numbers of sitting committee members. Many of these numbers are not direct lines and you may have to ask for the specific representative and most likely leave a message with an aide. Please ask for a call back by the specific committee member.
Consider that this bill:

Consider that this bill:
- Disarms Americans as they participate in tradition that defines what it means to be an American
- Deters gun owners from voting
- Creates redundant policy as open carry is already illegal and intimidation with a firearm would be already be impossible under current law.
- Creates unintentional felons. The Secretary of State’s website can’t even tell us where all of these locations are. How will gun owners even know they’re in violation?
- Is a blatant over reaction to a problem that cannot even be shown to exist in our state.
