The Truth About New Gun Laws
The Truth About New Gun Laws. Ban on high-capacity magazines is just part of the deal struck on strict Connecticut gun laws. If you think the Republicans are going to save you just click the links!! Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday on what they called some of the toughest gun laws in the country that were proposed after the December mass shooting in the state, including a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead. The proposal includes new registration requirements for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a disappointment for some family members of Newtown victims who wanted an outright ban on the possession of all high-capacity magazines and traveled to the state Capitol on Monday to ask lawmakers for it. The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, creates a new "ammunition eligibility certificate," imposes immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales, and extends the state's assault weapons ban to 100 new types of firearms and requires that a weapon have only one of several features in order to be banned. The newly banned weapons could no longer be bought or sold in Connecticut, and those legally owned already would have to be registered with the state, just like the high-capacity magazines. Connecticut should be seen as an example for lawmakers elsewhere, said Senate President Donald E. Williams Jr., a Brooklyn Democrat. "In Connecticut, we've broken the mold," he said. "Democrats and Republicans were able to come to an agreement on a strong, comprehensive bill. That is a message that should resound in 49 other states and in Washington, D.C. And the message is: We can get it done here and they should get it done in their respective states and nationally in Congress." Earlier in the day on Monday, Malloy voiced support for the Newtown families and their desire to ban the possession of large-capacity magazines. Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, said his group will live with the lawmakers' decision not to ban them as other states have done. He said the leaders made their decision based on what was politically feasible. www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/01/ban-on-high-capacity-magazines-part-deal-struck-on-strict-connecticut-gun-laws/ With the nation watching, Newtown parents still grieving and gun owners objecting, legislative leaders Monday said they had met the solemn challenge presented by the Sandy Hook school massacre with a bipartisan agreement for the nation's strongest gun control bill. Easy passage of the legislative response to the Dec. 14 killings is expected in House and Senate votes scheduled for Wednesday, leaders of both the Democratic majority and Republican minority said after completing weeks of negotiations on the bill. "What they didn't know was that Democrats and Republicans would come together and work to put together the strongest and most comprehensive bill in the United States to fight gun violence, to strengthen the security at our schools, and to provide the mental health services that are necessary," he said. "Knowing that that tragedy happened in Connecticut, it was up to Connecticut to show the way," said House Minority Leader Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk. "And I'm very proud to say today the package that we are introducing ... has accomplished that goal." www.courant.com/news/politics/hc-gun-deal-newtown-0413-20130401,0,7341094.story Connecticut lawmakers plan to change high-capacity magazine laws. In a first-in-the-nation proposal, gun owners would have to register the current magazines they own over 10 rounds by Jan. 1, 2014 with the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection in order for them to remain legal. They can be kept in their homes and used at shooting ranges. When they are transported, they can never have more than 10 rounds. It is part of a far-reaching gun control law that legislators say will be the toughest in the country with a universal background check for all firearms and expansion of the current assault weapons ban by more than 100 weapons, up from the current 66. It will be voted on Wednesday. www.nhregister.com/articles/2013/04/01/news/doc5159b160b4f3b844023258.txt "The horrible, brutal truth is that 154 bullets were fired in four minutes....
