Connecticut assault weapons ban remains in effect

The end of the national ban on assault weapons will leave Connecticut as one of seven states where those guns will remain illegal. And gun rights advocates don't expect that to change soon.

"Nothing is going to change here in Connecticut and I don't perceive anybody going after the legislature in trying to get rid of the law this year," said Robert Crook, executive director of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen.

"Maybe next year, maybe the year after, we'll make an effort to get rid of it," Crook said.

If they want to wait a bit before making the effort, that's fine by me. I expect they want to watch the elections to see what happens. Of course, anyone living in Connecticut might want to give them a call and see if you can't hurry things up a bit.
