Governor Lamont Applauds Senate for Giving Final Approval to Comprehensive Legislation on Gun Violence Prevention, Says He Will Sign It Into Law

Press Release

"While I firmly believe that our country needs stronger laws at the federal level to prevent gun violence, the inaction by Congress requires each individual state to act, and this legislation that is now heading to my desk includes several comprehensive changes that modernize our firearm safety laws in a smart and strategic way to help prevent tragedy from happening. These updates are supported by the overwhelming majority of Connecticut residents 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. I appreciate the leadership of the Senate -- including Senator Looney and Senator Winfield -- for calling this bill for a vote today and getting it approved. I look forward to signing it into law."
