Today, March 11th, the Connecticut General Assembly's Judiciary Committee will hold a public hearing on two major anti-gun bills. Please contact members of the committee directly by using the TAKE ACTION button below and urge them to OPPOSE these bills.
HB 5043, Ned Lamont's own requested Governor’s bill, bans so-called “convertible pistols.” It is already illegal to convert firearms into a fully automatic platform. However, under this legislation, a "convertible pistol” is defined in such a way where an entire class of common-owned firearms becomes illegal and their possession would result in a Class D Felony.
HB 5436 redefines basic firearm components like barrels, slides, cylinders, frames, and receivers as complete firearms. As a result, regulations regarding storage, sale, transfer, etc. would apply to common parts not functional on their own.
