NEWTOWN -- Robocalls from the National Rifle Association have outraged local residents still reeling from the Sandy Hook massacre that took the lives of 20 young children and six educators.

First Selectwoman Pat Llodra said Monday she's received several complaints about the calls, but there is nothing local officials can do about the matter.

"I've encouraged residents who have received the calls to contact the NRA and have their names taken off their list," Llodra said.

The town's chief official added that it's both insensitive and inappropriate to focus robocalls on a community still healing from one of the worst school shootings in the nation's history.

"You would think Newtown is the last place they would want to start their lobbying effort against changes to the current gun laws," Llodra said. "It's a bad time for us. We are still struggling to heal."

While Llodra said the calls are inappropriate, she added that it's a typical response from the gun lobbying group.

"It seems to be their typical response to this issue," she said. "Insensitive and inappropriate."

Good point but Westborough Baptist tactics only help the Feinsteins of the world. We somehow avoided confiscation all those decades prior to the NRA going a little off the deep end.

You think Andrew Jackson would be a Republican or a Democrat today?

You think Ronald Reagan would be a Republican or a Democrat today?

He wouldn't make it out of the primary as a Republican. He'd make a nice blue dog Dem.

When you have a border the government refuses to secure and when that same government gives weapons to the Mexican drug cartels, what do you think will happen?

Looks like the 211 crew and Texas cops have the same kind of relationship. Too bad those lawmen didn't have guns with which to protect themselves. Oh, wait.....
