Editorial also notes legal attacks on CT gun laws: "There's no predicting what could happen in terms of future court challenges. #SCOTUS once relied on previous rulings to guide decisions, but that precedent has mostly gone out the window." @GIFFORDS_org @UnitedforDem

Thank you @ConnPost for your editorial: "A sensible reform on open carry." The 2A is not a license to intimidate or hinder law enforcement efforts to protect the public. @SUPGVNetwork

New gun legislation was requested by police groups. Legislators were smart to listen to...

BREAKING (GOOD) NEWS! In NAGR v. Lamont U.S. District Court denies Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction because they FAILED to meet burden to demonstrate likelihood of success on claim that the challenged statutes unconstitutionally burden their 2A rights.

LET THIS SINK IN: #SCOTUS, as direct result of its extreme rewrite of constitutional law in #Bruen decision, is going to decide whether it's constitutional to prohibit domestic abusers from having guns. @WeAreUFD

The court, which has decided very few Second Amendment cases, will consider whether the government may disarm people subject to restraining orders for domestic abuse.

Thank you @RepMaxineWaters and other U.S. Representatives for co-sponsoring H.R. 660 to require safe storage of firearms. Follow CT's lead and implement a "no exceptions" requirement that all guns must be secured when not in owner's control. #safestoragesaveslives
Every day, 8 children and teens are unintentionally injured or killed with an improperly stored gun. Thank you @RepMaxineWaters for cosponsoring Ethan’s Law to #KeepKidsSafe. Call your Members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor the bill (202) 224-3121 #EndGunViolence

Thank you @CTHouseDems & @cthouserules for passing budget w/ significant appropriations to combat gun violence, up significantly from last year and what was initially proposed in the Governor's budget.

The CT budget proposal features an income tax cut and boosts funding to local schools. The Senate is expected to debate the bill on Tuesday.

WE CAN'T ESCAPE THIS said Sam Saylor, grandfather of 12yo Se'Cret Pierce killed in drive-by shooting in #Hartford. We must do more to help communities escape cycles of violence by funding community violence intervention. https://t.co/NWGaYCKDJZ

Se'Cret Pierce, 12, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Hartford, Conn., on April 20. She was 2 years old when her father, Shane Oliver, died.

Hard work and persistence pays off. Well done @MamaRedfield!
On our way to Denver for the signing of Jessi's Law. We repealed PLCAA in Colorado...now let's keep going. Survivors deserve their day in court to hold the gun industry accountable!

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. Congressman @AndyOgles, sending your #thoughtsandprayers to families of students & educators killed by #CovenantSchool shooter mean less than nothing, especially when you glorify weapons of war in your Xmas card. #Shame #BanAssaultWeaponsNow
