Ever wonder why there is an Eastern-style dome atop the old Colt factory in Hartford, CT?  I know that I do.  A quick surf of the internet does not reveal an answer, although one story involves a bodyguard who killed a potential assassin with a Colt firearm.  Right now the debate is raging in the United States over the merits of stricter gun control.  After the shooting in Newtown, CT public opinion is tilted against the pro-gun camp.  I certainly won’t volunteer to go knocking on doors to disarm those packing heat.
