Gun owners and Second Amendment supporters understood that today’s 'exemption' from a bill or law becomes tomorrow’s 'loophole.' In the final analysis, contrary to the president’s "misstatements," here are some facts: Connecticut has – and had in December – among the most stringent gun control laws in the country. Marlin Model 60 Disassembly. I'd been thinking seriously about a beater .22 during the past couple of squirrel seasons due to worry about getting a scratch on my beautiful, high-dollar Remington 541S.
