The Sandy Hook Commission just came out with their interim report and suggestions for changing CT law. Get it here.
Highlights include:
1. Mandatory background checks on the sale or transfer of any firearm.
2. Requiring registration for any firearm.
3. Requiring the renewal of firearms permits on a regular basis with in-person competency tests.
4. Ban the sale, possession, or use of any magazine or ammunition feeding
device in excess of 10 rounds except for military and police use.
5. Ban on the possession or sale of all armor-piercing and incendiary bullets, regardless of caliber.
6. Ban purchase of ammunition unless it is suitable for a registered firearm.
7. Study how best to ban the sale and purchase of ammunition via the internet.
8. Study the effectiveness of federal law limiting the purchase of firearms via the internet to those who have passed the appropriate background screening.
9. Limiting the amount of ammunition that may be purchased at any given time.
-- and the big one --
10. Ban the possession, sale or transfer of any firearm capable of firing more than 10 rounds without reloading.
My take on the underlined portions of #4: They know that it is unconstitutional to take magazines from people so their "compromise" position will be to remove "possession" but keep in "use" so people will not be able to use their property. I would also expect to see the final bill to include an exception for .22 tube magazines -- but who knows if they will even think about that.
I think that the legislature will vote on every one of these proposals except #10 (which is off the rails even for our lib legislature) and the changed noted to #4. And I bet it will pass along with a new AWB that restrict 1 evil feature.
