For Immediate Release:
(Groton,
CT) - The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (The state's largest gun
rights organization) is addressing a growing concern over the House
Republican current leadership's lack of support for 2nd Amendment
related matters.
CCDL President Scott Wilson States the Following:
"With
the election of 2016 over, Connecticut citizens face the upcoming 2017
legislative session with no one in the leadership position in the House
Republican Caucus that will look out for the rights of gun owners. It
has been a serious sore spot for the twenty-five thousand members of our
organization. We have a legitimate expectation that politicians who
swear under oath to uphold the constitution will follow through. It is
their responsibility”.
Wilson also Added:
"Gun
owners like myself are tired of seeing elected officials such as Themis
Klarides (114th District) go along with whatever gun control proposals
that come along. We know that some of the incumbents and the newly
elected freshmen that we have reached out to feel the same. House
Republican caucus members have an opportunity to elect a new leader
Thursday, and we certainly hope that they take that initiative. State
Representative Tim Ackert (8th District) is challenging Klarides for the
leadership position, and we feel that Mr. Ackert is a well thought out
logical choice to fill that role ".
