You have said that CT has restrictive handgun laws, yes, and you have also pointed out as we know, that the majority of the people killed was with an automatic rifle. The laws on the books may seem overly restrictive to you, however, I do not consider them restrictive in the least if either of these weapons were-
1- available in the first place
2- if available, not secured properly
3- accessible by a known potential problem.
Your restrictive CT handgun laws require an application with 70 buck fee, 8 weeks of waiting for approval more or less, and you gotta take a handgun course, the NRA's pistol course. The sad part, is that CT law IS pretty restrictive compared to other parts of the country, which is the core issue here.

Those wanting more restrictive gun laws need to know something VERY important to this case, something YOU have quoted more times than I can count in this thread...
The rifle wasn't an AUTOMATIC action rifle...it was a SEMI-AUTOMATIC. You're too damned busy screaming for laws against automatic guns, which have been banned without special licensing since the mid 1930's. The US also has had bans in place on the manufacturing of automatic weapons for public use since the 1980's.
If you're going to say anything more about creating laws for AUTOMATIC weapons, expect to get called a friggin' moron, because it would be proof that you have ABSOLUTELY no idea what the hell you're talking about.
