After last week's mass shooting in Minnesota, which killed two children and injured more than a dozen others, Connecticut lawmakers are once again calling for tighter gun control laws.
As of Sept. 1, there have been 292 mass shootings in the United States so far this year, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive. They define a mass shooting as four or more people being injured or killed, besides the shooter.
On Tuesday, state Sen. Richard Blumenthal held a press conference calling for an assault weapons ban and safe gun storage laws. He was joined by advocacy groups Hartford Communities that Care; Moms Demand Action; and Mothers United Against Violence, which is a group for local women who have lost loved ones to gun violence.
"My son passed on Aug. 11, 2023. Almost two years ago, or- it's been two years this August," Diana Roseboro said.
...
"There's people out there that are hurting, that are traumatizing and they're hurting other people. And they need to be helped," Diana said.
Blumenthal said he was proud to stand beside her and other advocates who work to bring down homicide numbers in Hartford.
"We're here, as kids go back to school and Congress goes back to work, to renew our call and it's a call for action to prevent gun violence," Blumenthal said.
He said two pieces of legislation could be part of the gun violence solution.
His Assault Weapons Ban of 2025 would put a nationwide ban on selling, transferring and making military-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and other high capacity ammunition-feeding devices.

how about tighter laws on trans hormones? or required institutionalization for mentally ill trans people?
In other news, the sun rose in the east, this morning.
YES CONTROL HOW MANY CRIMINALS HAVE THEM
I guess we should prevent people with OBVIOUS mental health issues from buying guns. Oh wait…. That’s already the law.
Instead of new “safe gun storage laws”, how about actually enforcing safe criminal “storage” laws.
Posted this article earlier, DICK would do well to give it a look.

Well, Blumie, wish in one hand, defecate in the other, smash the other hand into your face, and see which of us laughs first.
Arrest and imprison criminals and deport those who don't belong here.
Prayer is “useless” but MORE gun control laws will work?
Go away you Stolen Valor Dick.
“”YES CONTROL HOW MANY CRIMINALS HAVE THEM””
No, no, no. You’re not getting the left’s agenda. They want to control how many law-abiding folks have guns in order to aid and abet their cohorts, the “other” criminals. Which is why they use that revolving door method of bringing real perps to justice, while throwing away the proverbial key when it’s someone on the other political side of the aisle (See: Jan 6 - no due process for Trump supporters).
Minn. needs common sense ‘Rat control.
We need more guns, not less.
“”Here’s your “gun control”....
Arrest and imprison criminals and deport those who don’t belong here.””
How about... a 10-year automatic “add-on” sentence for anyone using a gun in the process of committing any crime, whether anyone was shot or killed or not. That ten years behind bars will be hard labor... not sitting around a rec-room watching soap operas and plotting with the other prisoners, by the way. That might just be ‘incentive’ enough to not commit crimes while armed with a lethal weapon.
Hey ‘dick’, sit down and STFU! If you squeeze too tight you’ll hear “I CAIN’T BREEVE!”
More laws, huh? Like the red flag law that was so effective.
I’m so tired of Democrats pretending to be so naive. They know a lot of this crime, if not most, is perpetrated using illegal guns.
They’ve already got very tight gun control in most blue cities that are plagued with crime.
Maybe we could enforce the laws we have
How about mental health control instead? Come for my guns and there will be trouble.
