Gun Owner Testifies in Hartford CT

Testifying at the Insurance Committee public hearing in Hartford CT, Vernon’s Robert Steed perhaps made the best point of anyone during the onerous three- month process of hearing after hearing in reaction to the Sandy Hook Massacre.

Steen said the process was like a page out of the classic ‘Twilight Zone’ TV series of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Brought back memories of one episode in particular. The alien Kanamits, a race of 9 foot tall giants arrive with a book, ‘To Serve Man’. They bring peace to Earth and shuttle ship after ship of humans back to their home planet. Only trouble is, their book is a cook book. Sort of like what’s happening now.
