Sine Die! CT Legislative Session 2024 Comes to an End
As of Wednesday, 5/8/24 the Connecticut Legislative Session of 2024 has come to a close. Thanks to the work of CCDL members and our stalwart pro-2A legislators, we were able to hold the line during this session. Here’s the recap…
H.B. 5114: The 2024 Ammo Tax – DEFEATED
- Proposed 11% ADDITIONAL tax on ammunition sales.
- 1,500+ emails submitted by CCDL members in opposition.
- Bill was defeated before public hearing.
H.B. 5448, Section 3: Polling Place GFZs – DEFEATED
- Proposed turning ALL Polling Locations and Ballot Boxes into invisible Gun Free Zones
- 1000+ emails submitted by CCDL members in opposition.
- 500+ testimonies submitted by CCDL members in opposition, with less than 24 hours of notice.
- Only 21 submitted in support…
- Bill was defeated in committee.
Compared to the onslaught of anti-2A bills that we faced last year, this session was a breath of fresh air. Two major anti-2A bills proposed… two defeated by a landslide. The work isn’t done… but this kind of momentum is what we need to move forward and reclaim our rights for ourselves, our loved ones, our communities…
Next up: Elections… #CCDLVotes2A
