Statement Of Judiciary Committee Senate Chairman Gary Winfield (D- New Haven) On Today’s Supreme Court Ruling In N.Y. Gun Carry Case


“Those of us following this case are disappointed but not shocked by the Supreme Court’s ruling, despite prior positions held by the court. In Connecticut we have worked diligently to pass common-sense gun safety legislation to protect our citizens. This case – and the ensuing lawsuits that will follow from it – threaten those protections. We remain steadfast in our efforts and will be ready with any necessary legislative responses to ensure that Connecticut remains at the forefront of gun safety and that our citizens remain safe within the boundaries of this state.”
