Governor Lamont Praises House Approval of Comprehensive Legislation Addressing Gun Violence

Press Release

"We need to do everything we can to keep our communities safe and prevent those who intend on doing harm from accessing these deadly weapons. The provisions included in this legislation are supported by the overwhelming majority of Connecticut residents -- including many gun owners -- because they want to live in a community that has commonsense measures that encourage gun safety and prevent harm from impacting our neighborhoods and homes. This bill was crafted with input from the public after a long public hearing, as well as from Democrat and Republican legislators who sat down with our administration to develop the final language included in the legislation. I appreciate everyone who worked with us on getting the bill to this point -- including judiciary co-chairs Senator Gary Winfield and Representative Steve Stafstrom -- and I strongly encourage the Senate to vote on this bill and get it to my desk so that I can sign it into law."
