gun violence prevention bill

The U.S. Justice Department has awarded Connecticut $2.4 million to help fund gun violence prevention programs in the state.

Legislation to reduce gun violence proposed by the mayors of Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Haven is supported by Governor Ned Lamont.

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has proposed further tightening of the state’s strict gun regulations, including increase the age to purchase a weapon.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Jahana Hayes (D-CT), said the roundtable was not only a way to celebrate the recent passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, but also to demand more for the cause.
