Two Connecticut lawmakers who don’t often agree are urging the adoption of gun seizure laws throughout the country modeled on Connecticut’s 1999 statute, CGS §29-38c, also known as the state’s Gun Seizure Law.

State Rep. Arthur O’Neill (R) is contacting legislative leaders in the 46 states that don’t have similar legislation. He is urging them to consider adoption of a gun seizure statute, also called a risk warrant, in each of their states, modeled on the Connecticut law.
