cannot protect connecticut citizens alone because our borders are porous. even a state like connecticut with the strongest gun laws in the country is at the mercy of states with the weakest because guns are trafficked across state borders. so we need national laws that will protect us in connecticut and all around the country who are at risk. and the new social change movement powered and fueled by young people can break the vice-like grip that the gun lobby has held over this congress for so many years, indeed decades. i have worked on this issue literally for two and a half decades or more when i was attorney general of the state of connecticut, i championed and we passed a measure to ban assault weapons, among other reforms. it was challenged in the court. all of the same arguments raised then legally that were raised now. we defeated them. in fact, i tried the case and argued it in the supreme court, and those arguments are as invalid today as they were then based on the second amendment, a void for vagueness or equal protection. and they will fail in t

it used to be illegal in some places, but then griswald versus connecticut.us a law in connecticut about birth control that case was decide 7-2 by the supreme court in 1965. it gave married couples the right to access birth control regardless of where they lived. over the next decade plus, the supreme court overturned laws in other states that banned birth control for unmarried couples or for teenagers. access to birth control became the law of the land. likewise, famously, roe versus wade began with a texas law against abortion. it ended in 1973 with abortion rights guaranteed by law in all 50 states. but check this out. some of the old bans on abortion, bans that existed before the supreme court ruled in roe versus wade, some of those old bans are still on the books. that's true in ten states. the only thing stopping them from being active, functional law is that supreme court decision. a whole bunch of other states have put trigger laws in place to ban abortion. in some cases, instantly. the second the supreme court overturns roe versus wade. even more sta
