'T a'check of motor vehicles files showed a John Matika, D.O.B 01/01/1944 residing at 40 Edgehill Rd, 'sonia, Ct. A reverse telephone directory check revealed that telephone number 203-735-2059 was igned to a John Matika of the same address. A check of the Connecticut Department of Public Safety rearms and Permit investigation System shows that John H. Matika of 40 Edgehill Road, Ansonia nnecticut has 11 registered guns, including rifles and handguns. There is no criminal history on file for hn Matika. \T on 03/24/2011 at 1339 hours, Matika leaves his first message telling Rep. Gentile about the prior ban assault rifles in Connecticut and how he was stupid to have registered his assault rifle. Matika makes jany references to why he feels this new bill "better not" pass. Matika then states." If you pass another gun like this... it better get rejected... or else." Matika then says " give me a call let me know how your gonna te on this... because I've got other options... and baby, you don't wanna know about them". IAT on 03/25/2011 at 1326 hours, Matika leaves a similar message for Rep. Gentile, again expressing his rong opposition to SB1094. In this message Matika states again that if this bill passes " there's gonna be a {tof trouble in this state". He also says in a heated and urgent tone that " I want her to vote against this bill 94... they already pulled one mistaké on our gun owners in this state... if this bill passes you better duck pur heads." Matika also says " I'm not even gonna say the state... Southwest, you know what happened it there? Its gonna happen here." Then atthe end of Matika's message he says " This bill better not pass... else... they better duck their heads. All | gotta say is one thing... woman out in Arizona." This is an obvious ference to the mass shooting that occurred in Arizona on 01/08/2011, where United States Representative labrielle Giffords was shot and critically injured, along with nineteen others and resulting in six deaths.
