Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday on what they called some of the toughest gun laws in the country that were proposed after the December mass shooting in the state, including a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead.
The proposal includes new registration requirements for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a disappointment for some family members of Newtown victims who wanted an outright ban on the possession of all high-capacity magazines and traveled to the state Capitol on Monday to ask lawmakers for it.
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, creates a new "ammunition eligibility certificate," imposes immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales, and extends the state's assault weapons ban to 100 new types of firearms and requires that a weapon have only one of several features in order to be banned.
The newly banned weapons could no longer be bought or sold in Connecticut, and those legally owned already would have to be registered with the state, just like the high-capacity magazines.
"No gun owner will lose their gun," said House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr., a Norwalk Republican. "No gun owner will lose their magazines."
The bill also addresses mental health and school security measures.

Time to relocate. The supply pipeline is already nearly dry, so a move at this time will be minimally disruptive. If the three companies coordinate, they might find a nearly vacant "industrial park" to share.
Think about it. With a ten round mag you would have to change out three times to shoot 30 rounds. This give you practice at the range in quick changing them.
No one will turn in or register (how?) their regular 30 round mags anyway. They will just keep them at home for when SHTF then it would not matter then.
***”No gun owner will lose their gun,” said House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr., a Norwalk Republican. “No gun owner will lose their magazines.”****
So, they are admitting that guns and magazines sold in the past are NOT the problem, but only guns that might be sold in the future if the law is not passed.
And the REAL question is still not being answered....WILL this new gun control laws absolutely prevent any future massacres?
If not, it is worthless.

If anyone knows of a light industrial area that is under-utilized right now, let these companies know about it.
