Gun control bills win support

Two gun-control bills being considered by the legislature's Judiciary Committee won support Monday from a bipartisan group of lawmakers and the Police Chiefs Association.

One bill would require any lost or stolen handgun be reported to police within 72 hours, while the other bill would require stores that sell "long guns" to obtain a state permit.

"With increased gun crime rates and easy access to firearms, it is imperative that we control the sale of guns by possession of a permit and require persons to report theft or loss to the police," said state Rep. Michael Lawlor, D-East Haven, co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Doesn't this idiot realize that even the CDC doesn't think gun control reduces crime?
