Thank you all who called, wrote and showed up to testify!
H.5158 "An Act Concerning Firearms Regulation" had its most onerous section REMOVED today! That is the section that would require Long Gun Registration and BAN private sales between individuals as is commonly done among gun club members, collectors, family members, etc. As a result of YOUR calls, emails and the twenty or so people who testified - The State Police Liaison called the Public Safety Committee at the hearing and told Co-Chair Senator Andrea Stillman that they were stripping the Long Gun section from the bill! Don't Forget To THANK YOUR LEGISLATORS on the Public Safety & Security Committee! Co-Chairman Representative Steve Dargan, Rep. Steve Mikutel, Rep. Penny Bacchiocchi, Rep. Rosa Rebimbas, Rep. Minnie Gonzalez and Rep. Esposito who all either made remarks against the Long Gun Registration, or otherwise established their opposition to this State Police requested bill.
