Sandy Hook commission recommends strengthening new gun law

The Sandy Hook Commission will work with the Governor to get enhanced legislation written into the state laws concerning gun control.

I support this 100%.

All those poor kids who were killed 2 years ago makes me want to cry every time I think about it.

Thoughts?

"Weapons of War" ? All weapons have been used in a war setting at one time or another.

Will this do anything to keep guns away from criminals or just honest CT citizens ?

CT has a 2 Billion dollar deficit

Seems like the gun control is more of an opiate for the masses of clueless voters in CT.

Guns are not the root cause of the violence, they are a tool that sadly more often then not ends up in the wrong hands.

Ban as many guns as you want, innocent legal gun owners like myself will follow the law and would turn in my own firearm if I knew it would make a difference but it wouldn't.

As long as there are terrorists, drug lords, street gangs, murderers, rapists, and abusers, there will always be gun violence, you would have to eliminate the previously mentioned before you could ever stop gun violence.

Guns are an object, assault is an action, an action in which people create, not the gun.

If the schools would actually get some balls and secure them like they should be, Sandy Hook and all the other shootings would never had happened. Celebrities are surrounded by small armies, 5 year olds are sent to school with no protection at all, that's why things like Sandy Hook happened.

Criminals do not follow gun laws, or any other laws for that matter -- Ever.

So it really doesn't matter what "laws" are passed. There will always be crackpots -- or terrorists -- shooting up masses.

you do realize that if ONE law abiding citizen was allowed to be carrying a firearm that day that the majority of those childrens lives would have been saved, right?
Or do you ACTUALLY believe that only criminals having guns makes for a safer society?
Gee, I sure hope you never have to defend yourself against an armed perpetrator where all you can do is pray it goes well instead of having a fighting chance of ensuring it goes well.
Not only that, but like... mag limits? Shweet. Do you have any idea how fast you can reload a magazine before continuing to fire? A maximum of 2 seconds in skilled hands. what does that solve? Precisely nothing.

Many of the mass shootings of the past decade-- including Columbine-- had armed personnel on property. Sorry, that's not the answer.

Nor do I think the best answer is to make elementary schools, movie theaters and community gatherings in to an arms race.

Here is an interesting article explaining that GUNS kill people; not people kill people.

Just from observation it seems like a common link to all of these mass shooting is someone with mental illness. I do think there needs to be tougher laws for getting the guns in the first place to make sure that people are not criminals or mentally ill.

That especially goes for all of these gun shows where you can get a guns very easily. I can't understand why gun shows are allowed to still be operational when criminals and the mentally ill can get guns so easily at such shows.
