Connecticut’s most wide-ranging gun control measure since the 2013 law enacted after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting takes effect Sunday, with proponents vowing to pursue more gun legislation despite legal challenges happening across the country.

The new law, signed by Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont in June, bans the open carrying of firearms and prohibits the sale of more than three handguns within 30 days to any one person, with some exceptions for instructors and others.

“We will not take a break and we cannot stop now, and we will continue to pass life-saving laws until we end gun violence in Connecticut. Our lives depend on it,” said Jeremy Stein, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence.

    Ehh while perhaps not popular amongst this crowd there’s also collectors. I’ve bought and traded more than 3 in that timespan as collectibles/trade options for a sale or some such. Not everything is for nefarious reasons.

      Yeah. Maybe something you wanted just popped up on sale. Collectors, target shooters, hunters… Plenty of legitimate reasons.

        As i said to someone else, I am talking about those people who won’t ho out the door with one.

        I like guns, I have guns, I don’t carry my guns for no reason.

      There is an exception for antiques so you can buy your flintlocks to your heart’s content.

      Collector’s get a pass, I have guns and use them for hunting.

      I’m talking about the dudes that can’t walk out the door without a pistol on.
