The Connecticut Senate will soon be voting on more gun control bills that would require manufacturers of gun parts to put serial numbers on firearm receivers and frames they sell to Connecticut residents.
The bill would also require a permit and background checks to purchase frames and receivers, heavily restricting legal home manufacturing of personal firearms.
Additional restrictions on legal gun owners include: requiring handguns to be locked in a safe, trunk or glovebox while transporting or while unattended in a motor vehicle. This would mean even during the transport of your handguns to a gun range.
Efforts by some legislators during the House debates to increase penalties for criminals who steal firearms were voted down earlier this month. Criminals get a pass and gun owners face harsher penalties!
H.B. 7219 would heavily restrict and regulate the practice of making firearms at home for personal use. It will require legal gun owners to get permission from the state to make a firearm at home, requiring a pistol permit and background checks to buy essentially gun parts. It will require manufacturers to put serial numbers on incomplete frames or receivers.
H.B. 7223 would require handguns to be locked in a safe, trunk, or glove compartment when the vehicle is unattended. Essentially, changing the gun owner with a crime if their firearm is stolen while they ran into a store and left their firearms unattended in a locked car.
