HARTFORD, CT (WFSB/AP) -
Gov. Dannel Malloy received an interim report from the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission that has outlined areas of consideration on the issues from gun violence prevention and school safety, among others.
"All of us in government have engaged in a lengthy debate on the best way to move forward following the horrific events of Dec. 14. The interim report from the commission represents another step in identifying the policies and laws that will make our children and, indeed, our entire state safer," Malloy said in a statement.
Malloy said the recommendations on school safety are worthy of consideration as budget negotiations continue.
"As you know, I have proposed and the General Assembly is considering a set of strong, common sense measures that includes universal background checks, stricter firearm storage requirements, restrictions on the size of magazines, and a total ban on the sale or purchase of many dangerous weapons, including the weapon used in the Sandy Hook massacre," Malloy said in the statement. "While I do not advocate a retroactive ban on the possession of firearms that are legally owned under current law, there are residents of our state who support such measures, and their views, along with the views of the staunchest defenders of the Second Amendment, have a place in this conversation."
Malloy said he believes meaningful legislation can be passed that will achieve common-sense gun violence prevention measures.
The panel is recommending universal background checks for all gun sales and transfers, requiring all firearms to be registered and would ban high-capacity magazines. It would also ban the possession and sale of guns capable of firing more than 10 rounds of ammunition without reloading.
In addition, the panel said it believes officials should require all K-12 classrooms to be equipped with doors that can be locked from the inside, and hardware that's capable of implementing a full perimeter lockdown.
