Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : [ Supreme Court expands gun rights in major ruling, striking down New York law ]Connecticut is considered a "may issue" state - meaning a chief of police has the option to issue a concealed carry permit to a resident but is not required to - but Connecticut's laws do not include the proper cause clause.
57% : "This decision is a radical rewrite of the Court's prior positions on the Second Amendment and states' rights to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.
55% : As the late Justice Scalia recognized, the Second Amendment is not absolute.
49% : We should expect a wave of new lawsuits nationwide and here in Connecticut, coordinated by gun groups like the NRA, challenging our assault weapons ban, age restrictions on gun ownership, prohibitions on guns in sensitive locations like schools, and provisions enabling public safety professionals to review the suitability of an applicant before granting a gun permit.
46% : This activist Supreme Court is once again legislating from the bench, but Congress must continue to legislate for a safer America.""While the American people call for action to end gun violence, the Supreme Court decided to overturn state gun regulations protecting 25% of our nation's people.
