A coalition of groups and individuals have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of sweeping gun control and firearms safety measures recently approved by the Connecticut legislature.
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) and Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen are taking specific aim at new laws that would limit the size of ammunizition magazines and add 100 firearms to the listed of banned assault weapons in the state. They say many of the design features now prohibited on weapons sold in Connecticut enhance safey, accuracy and ease of use, and have long been standard in firearms design.
