CT sued by gun rights group over semi-automatic firearms ban
Fox News
A gun-rights group has filed a lawsuit against Connecticut for a ban on specific semiautomatic firearms, which was enacted in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
"We all deserve to live in safe communities, but denying ownership of the most commonly owned firearms in the country is not the way to achieve it," Holly Sullivan, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, said in a statement.
"The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision ... has opened the door to this challenge, and we believe Connecticut will be hard pressed to prove its statutes are constitutional," she said.
