State Representative Bob Godfrey (D-Danbury) joined Judiciary Committee co-chairs Rep. Steve Stafstrom (D-Bridgeport) and Sen.

Today my Judiciary Committee co-chair, Gary Winfield, and I joined our colleagues at a press conference to announce legislation we believe will reduce gun violence and make communities across the state safer.

I am proud of my support to ban bump stocks in CT, simple additions to semiautomatic weapons that enable guns to fire rapidly like automatic firearms - the bill was approved in the House on a bipartisan vote.

The state House of Representatives took a step toward addressing the national epidemic of gun violence by passing legislation that would ban bump stocks.

This week I joined my colleagues at a press conference in New Haven to announce new legislation to combat gun violence and make our communities safer. The legislation includes a ban on so-called ghost guns and bump stocks, a device used in the killing of 58 people last year in Las Vegas.

State Reps. Steve Stafstrom and William Tong joined New Haven Mayor Toni Harp and members of the New Haven Delegation at a press conference on Feb. 5 to introduce legislation that would ban bump stocks and "ghost guns" in Connecticut.
