Connecticut House passes largest gun control package since Sandy Hook

The Connecticut House of Representatives passed the largest gun control initiative undertaken by the state since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred over a decade ago.

"As there continues to be mass shooting after mass shooting in our nation, we look at the other states that are running away from gun restrictions that are, I would say, recklessly retreating from gun restrictions," said Rep. Steve Stafstrom, the Democratic co-chairman of the General Assembly's Judiciary Committee. "In Connecticut, we’re not doing that. We’re going to continue to lead."
