Hello and welcome @anthony_j2
39,740 gun deaths but she fails to mention that 99% of those were suicides.
I have received these same letters, just different state.
another CT idiot thinking criminals will follow their laws…I dealt with Murphy and Blumenthal for a few years, got the same response you did over and over, gave up, and am looking forward to moving to a freer state…with less taxes.
Young guy I worked with was telling me he could get any firearm he wanted in New Britain…on the streets. No background check needed. I find it kind of ironic that most gun related crimes in the state that I read about have a perp who isn’t licensed to carry a gun…yet,golly gee, somehow they managed to get one…I told murphy and blumenthal, perhaps if they printed out their laws in ALL CAPS, PERHAPS THE CRIMINALS WOULD FOLLOW THEM! 
Welcome, Anthony, from a fellow nutmegger.
