HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) An advisory panel reviewing the deadly Newtown school shooting for Connecticut's governor on Monday recommended requiring registration of all firearms in the state and mandating all its K-12 classrooms have doors that can be locked from the inside.
There was also enough consensus among the commission members to recommend bans on high-capacity magazines and the possession, sale or transfer or guns both military-style firearms and handguns that are capable of firing more than 10 rounds of ammunition without reloading.
Other recommendations in an interim report from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's Sandy Hook Advisory Commission include limiting the amount of ammunition that can be purchased at one time, requiring trigger locks be provide at the time of sale or transfer and requiring firearms in a home be stored in a locked container.....

Remind me how registering Nancy Lanzas firearms would have prevented Sandy Hook, besides confiscation?
These people need some serious medication. What nutjob or criminal gives a fat rat’s ass about registering a gun. A gun that was more likely than not, stolen. They want to look like they are saving the children. Appearance is reality in their world. Serious counter firepower would have saved lives at SH.
Lanza fired 152 rounds....meaning he reloaded at least 5 times. This magazine capacity nonsense is a red herring.
Chuck Norris is well known as a pro-gun advocate, and in response to a reporters ironic question, If someone broke into your house, would you use your roundhouse kick? he replied, No, Id use my 10 gauge.
We'd be more dan happy to come in and register our guns.
How does da tenth uh nevah woik fuh youse?
"...the commonality of high-capacity firearms in violent crimes must be acknowledged. According to the 2011 Connecticut Uniform Crime Reporting Program, only two (2) of 94 firearm-related homicides in the state were committed with a rifle or a shotgun. It is the consensus of the Commission that firearm lethality is correlated to capacity, a correlation borne out not only in Sandy Hook Elementary School, but in other violent confrontations in and beyond Connecticut. Therefore, the Commission believes that the State of Connecticut should carefully consider:
10. Prohibiting the possession, sale or transfer of any firearm capable of firing more than 10 rounds without reloading. This prohibition would extend to military-style firearms as well as handguns. Law enforcement and military would be exempt from this ban..."

Think about it ~ guy goes in school; shoots kids. Cops look at the firearms and say "was this registered"? Or, Cops see dead kids and say "check all registered firearms".
Nothing happens that way, particularly when the perp is also dead.
From what I have read, many of his magazines he ejected still had unfired rounds in them.
That means that if he ejected a magazine and someone tried to attack him, he still could shoot them because there was still a live round in the chamber.
Sarcasm tag for those in Rio Linda and CT.
What were the moron on the commission smoking when the came up with that? How many shots were fired in those TWO homicides where a long gun was used? In those TWO instances was a AR-15 ever used?
My understandingis that one of the video games he played taught him to drop magazines early...and some still had fifteem rounds. But that sort of detail makes a lib’s eyes glaze over. So to simplify it, whenever magazine capacity comes up....Lanza had to do at least five swaps....and it didn’t slow him down one bit.
Whoa. How clever can you get?
“mandating all its K-12 classrooms have doors that can be locked from the inside.”
Now the perps can hold more victims captive and an armed opposition can’t get to them...
