Governor Perplexed That Legislators Shot Down Gun Restrictions
HARTFORD, CT – Governor Dannel P.

These devices modify the speed at which a weapon can be fired to machine-gun-like speeds, and were used in the Las Vegas shooting, where the shooter was able to fire an estimated 90 shots in 10 seconds. “That the Public Safety Committee would choose to not even take a vote on a bill banning bump stocks is disappointing, frustrating, and frankly perplexing," Gov.
