What are the state of Connecticut's gun laws?

Clip: 12/13/2014 | 10m 36s

In the two years since the Sandy Hook shootings, Connecticut now has some of the most restrictive gun policies in the country, which includes a divisive law enacted last year to keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill. Advocates say this law could help prevent tragedies similar to Sandy Hook, but opponents maintain it punishes lawful owners and wouldn't stop a possible mass murderer.
