Susan Bysiewicz on Gun Control

 

 


Tighten rules on convertible pistols and similar firearms

This past session, after much debate and overcoming disagreement, we passed another gun-safety law tightening the rules on convertible pistols and similar firearms. It matters more than most people realize. Machine guns are already banned in Connecticut. Yet in 2023 and 2024 alone, Hartford police seized 51 Glocks that had been modified into automatic weapons. A law is only as good as our willingness to keep it current.

Time to pass a comprehensive gun safety law in our country

The mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine is a call to action for other states to pass strict gun laws similar to Connecticut's, according to Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz. "Ask them to pass a comprehensive gun safety law in our country. Use Connecticut's law as a model. Use Massachusetts' law as a model. And it's also a call to action for other states that need to pass gun safety including Maine," Bysiewicz urged.
