Connecticut lawmakers passed a sweeping package of gun reforms this week,
more than three months after a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School left
26 dead. While some relatives of Newtown victims were dismayed that the
legislation does not ban all high-capacity magazines, it does include a ban on sales
of magazines with more than 10 bullets. Those who already own such magazines
will face new registration requirements. “Nobody will be able to say that this bill
is absolutely perfect, but no one will also be able to say that this bill fails the test
when it comes to being the strongest in the country and the most comprehensive
bill in the country,” state Senate President Donald Williams Jr. said.
