HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who four months ago broke the news to shocked parents that their children had been slaughtered in a Connecticut elementary school, signed into law Thursday sweeping new restrictions on weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines similar to the ones used by the man who gunned down 20 child and six educators in the massacre.
Alongside family members of some of the victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Malloy signed the bill hours after the General Assembly approved the measure to give the state some of the toughest gun laws in the country.

Some of the press keeps pushing that he used a Bushmaster “Assault” Rifle. Others say he had 2 handguns. And most voters shrug. Truth? What’s that?
At least so far it’s a state thing. If the people of CT put up with it. The whole thing was a knee-jerk reaction built on the graves of those killed. I think it would be poetic justice if Ruger, Colt, and those other arms manufactures moved out of state. Think of the loss of jobs and tax revenue. Actions do have consequences.
Politicians always like to gather around some weepers and victims when they sign Bullhseit legislation.
Are these the same ones who gathered around Obama?
Yay. And now the State of Conn will have more to do defending this new law in the courts, one provision at a time.
Collectivism, like sin, complicates things.
This law is based on nothing but emotion. He needed emotional people to continue the farce.
I’m sure everybody in Connecticut is feeling safer tonite.
Only the terminally stupid.
It won’t matter if they go to another state. The blue states will pass a law prohibiting weapons from being brought across the state line.
And just who is it that is going to be removing these legislators and governors from office when they express such total distain for the law and limitations on their power?
Connecticut is already well on the way to disarming their citizens, so the Second Amendment is soon to become a moot point, no longer able to defend adequately the rest of the Constitution.
Maybe peasants armed with pitchforks and torches will have to get the job done. But when things get to that point, it never ends well.
No doubt. One never knows what one will do insa specific situation, but I don’t think I would be interested inbeing used in this manner by this flaming liberal BS artist.
Those people are grieving. It’s not normal to lose a child. They are emotional and not thinking and reasoning. I understand what motivates them. The Governor? That’s a different matter. He’s using these people and that’s unforgivable.
Dancing on coffins. So... Feinstein had her anti-constitution plan ready a year earlier, just waiting for the perfect opportunity. How much did Bloomburg give you, governor?
Remember Hillary’s “It’s for the children”? Communists will use every emotional hook they can to get total control.
No, it's a national thing. Look at Colorado. Georgia's next. It's all coming from Bloomberg, Obama, Biden.
Not hollering at you, just agreeing in another way.
Grieving? was post birth abortion different from pre birth abortion?.....
i don’t even care, as long as this stays in CT. If the people of this state want to make themselves and their fellow CT citizens criminals with this law then so be it.
They voted for the socialist lawyers running that state.
My best friends daughter was murdered last July at the age of 21. My friend will never be the same.
My son and his wife lost their only child in a single car accident.
Both sets of parents are grieving. It's NOT about abortion. Neither are these parents grief.
that would still be a state thing. there is so much documentation to show the legal right to carry actually stops violent crime and in particular violent break ins. yet the lawyers in power just want more power and your money.
