[QUOTE="okwarren, post: 2025982, member: 19227"] [url]http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/politics/1st-law-change-after-sandy-hook-tragedy#.UNQLJ3d36YQ[/url] Updated: Thursday, 20 Dec 2012, 7:54 PM EST Published : Thursday, 20 Dec 2012, 3:50 PM EST Mark Davis HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) -- The first change in state law in direct response to Sandy Hook occurred during Wednesday night's special session. And Thursday lawmakers announced a roster of eight proposed changes in the state's gun laws. The proposal would immediately expand the definition of Assault Weapon under current state law to apply to firearms which show one particular physical trait, as opposed to two, like the presence of a pistol grip beneath the action of the weapon. And despite the fact that there are perhaps thousands of legal handguns in the state with a greater than 10 cartridge magazine capacity, this proposal would prohibit the sale and possession of any magazine with a capacity of over 10. The proposal would also call for a 50 percent sales tax on all ammunition, permits would be required to purchase ammunition, and the online purchase of ammunition would be prohibited. [/QUOTE]
