Introduction
5 out of 7 people believe the problem is not guns
The new gun laws will be ineffective in reducing murders due to guns

The New Laws
Register assault rifles
Defined as “Semi-automatic center-fire rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least one of the following: folding or telescoping stock, any grip of the weapon… forward pistol grip, flash suppressor, grenade launcher, flare launcher, fixed magazine that accepts more than ten rounds, overall length of less than 30 inches”
Bring to police barracks or sell to a gun shop
National background check before any sale
Why They Will Not Work
Look into past to see future
Chicago has most stringent gun laws
In 2012, over 500 gun related murders
Most extreme gun control has not helped
Why They Will Not Work
What They Did Right
Since 1994, over 2 million rejected sales through background checks
Background checks could help the problem
Required for all gun sales in Connecticut
