This is NOT an April Fool's Joke. :: 04/01/2014

"Connecticut State Police are reminding firearms owners that state regulations on long guns will change Tuesday. Troopers say that beginning April 1, long guns cannot be sold or transferred without one of the following documents: a permit to carry pistols or revolvers, an eligibility certificate for pistols or revolvers or a long gun eligibility certificate."

Forces in Harrisburg have launched 126 anti gun amendments to HB 2011, Firearms Preemption, and that's no joke, either.
