My response:
These are not the times for knee-jerk reactions to a despicable act. And yet that's exactly what many of our representative are proposing. Instead of enforcing existing laws, you seem to be focused on creating an entirely new class of criminals...us. Those proposals range from the functionally ridiculous like limits on magazine size, to the insane like Crazy Uncle Joe's "just fire a couple of warning shots from a 12 gauge."
Where is the critical discussion of involuntary commitment in our State? Had we not been among the very few States that prevents this, Adam Lanza might in an institution instead of dead with the children he killed.
We already live in one of the most gun-restrictive States in the Union. Background checks, effective registration and ridiculous limits on gun types are already part of our Connecticut lives. So instead of demagoguery of this issue on the coattails of dead children, I hope that you strongly consider not infringing the rights of your citizens.
And if you can't see your way to reason, then I sincerely hope every one of our State's small arms manufacturers find a more healthy environment elsewhere.
