If the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter lived in Connecticut, he would likely have had fewer - if any - firearms, because the sales or importation of military-style weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines were prohibited after the 2012 Newtown school massacre. The state’s 2013 gun-safety laws also required owners of semi-automatic weapons, such as the AR-15, who bought them prior to the school shooting, to register them. Now, even people who want to buy ammunition must have a firearms permit in what the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rate as one of the top-five states in the nation for gun safety.
