National Public Radio: on Gun Control


Bob Stefanowski: No more gun controls; gun owners have been persecuted

Stefanowski, a retired corporate executive, was on stage for the first time with his four rivals: Mark Boughton, Timothy Herbst, Steve Obsitnik and David Stemerman. All five also opposed efforts at passing further gun controls in Connecticut, a state that expanded background checks to purchase firearms and ammunition and banned large-capacity magazines and certain assault-style weapons. Stefanowski said Malloy has "persecuted" gun owners.

Sharice Davids: Gun violence a public health crisis

Davids and other state lawmakers said that they support the Second Amendment but called gun violence a public health crisis. "We really need to be making sure that we're getting accurate statistics that we're really getting into the meat of why gun violence is occurring and where it's occurring and what types," Davids said.
