Lamont's AR-15 ban faces pushback from area legislators

Dec. 13—Support for Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont's controversial proposal to no longer allow ownership of AR-15 rifles in Connecticut is thin among area legislators — even among members of his own party. During a debate shortly before the November election, Lamont submitted an idea for increased...

"Since he's been governor, 74% of arrests for illegal possession of an assault weapon and 97% of arrests for lllegal sale or transfer of long guns have been nolle'd (not prosecuted) or dismissed," Howard wrote in an emailed statement. "And yet, rather than tighten up our criminal justice system relevant to illegal acts regarding assault weapons, the governor proposes seizing firearms from citizens who have legally owned them for at least 8 years without a problem. Perhaps if the governor focused more on criminals than law-abiding citizens, we would have a safer state."

thankfully assault rifles are already banned & there's a shot this grandfather law will also pass. CT has a strong (D) majority; but we'll see what happens. he won bigley a 2nd time against bob stefanowski who just so happens to have gotten an A rating from the NRA.

"Assault rifles"

How does the state plan to confiscate these no-longer grandfathered weapons?
How does it know who has them?

Mass shooters, muggers, rapist, pedos, terrorists, murderers, marxists, fascists, psychopaths, dictators and Democrats all prefer unarmed victims.

didn't open the link, did you?

"During a debate shortly before the November election, Lamont submitted an idea for increased gun regulations in the state, specifically to reverse course and no longer allow those with AR-15 rifles and military-style weapons to keep them.

Connecticut had previously grandfathered in current owners of such weapons when passing laws banning the sale of these weapons in 1993 and 2013."

of course i opened the link. new sales of those types of weapons have not occurred since 2013.

ASSAULT WEAPONS

The law, with limited exceptions, bans assault weapons. The initial assault weapons ban was passed in 1993 (PA 93-306). A 2001 act (PA 01-130) expanded the ban, and a 2002 act (PA 02-130) exempted possession of certain types of weapons from the ban. This year, PA 13-3 substantially expanded the ban and made other substantive changes. (For a more detailed legislative history of the assault weapons ban, see OLR Report 2012-R-0362.)

With limited exceptions, it is illegal to give anyone an assault weapon; transport, distribute, or import assault weapons; or sell, keep, or offer them for sale. It is also, with exceptions, illegal to possess assault weapons, except lawfully possessed pre-ban assault weapons, provided the owner duly registered the weapon with DESPP or, in the case of assault weapons banned by PA 13-3, applies to register the weapon by January 1, 2014 (CGS §§ 53-202b and 53-202c, as amended by PA 13-3).

He wants to outlaw firearms that were grandfathered.

And breaking the promise made to legal AR owners who were grandfathered in as part of the compromise to pass the original ban. How can any gun owner trust anything politicians say or promise when they try to pull this kind of incremental, creeping assault on law-abiding citizens who have committed no crime at all? All this does is give the people who are paranoid about gun elimination ammunition for their suspicions and make them look like reasonable fears.
