Democratic governors always go to more and more restrictions on law-abiding responsible gun owners and never so much as mention criminals.
WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — Gov. Ned. Lamont (D-Conn.) unveiled legislative proposals to eliminate gun violence in Connecticut at a press conference Monday morning at the Waterbury Police Department.
Surrounded by lawmakers, members of law enforcement, state representatives, and mayors of Waterbury, New Haven, and Bridgeport, the governor rolled out what he said would be the first in a series of proposals.
The first proposal includes the following:
- Spending an additional $2.5 million on community violence intervention programs;
- Banning the open carry of guns in public while continuing to allow concealed carry permits in specific locations;
- Limiting handgun purchases to one per month to discourage straw purchases; and
- Toughening the state’s ban on so-called ghost guns, which do not have serial numbers and make them nearly impossible to track.
