Hartford, CT – Voters know that when it comes to common sense gun laws, Bob has always stood with the extremists like the NRA, who endorsed him in 2018, and not with Connecticut residents.
Just look at his record on guns:
He was “proud” to receive an “A” rating from the NRA.” [Bob Stefanowski Campaign Facebook, 7/30/18]
He opposed our common sense gun laws passed in the wake of Sandy Hook, calling it “not a good bill.”
“Deferring questions from reporters recently on whether he’d ban the weapon used by the Bristol police shooter, who authorities said fired over 80 rounds with what is believed to be an AR-15, Stefanowski said: ‘I’m not gonna work in hypotheticals. We got the toughest gun laws in the nation. I’m going to enforce them.’” [CT Insider, 10/30/22; ABC News, 10/13/2022]
The National Rifle Association spent thousands of dollars in 2018 trying to get Stefanowski elected. [SEEC, NRA Political Fund, Filed 10/30/18]
In a video, Stefanowski said, “Gun-free zones can be a bad thing”. [Hartford Courant, Editorial, 10/31/18; VIDEO: CT Dem Party YouTube, 10/24/18]
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL), endorsed Bob in 2018 and is suing the state of Connecticut to overturn its assault weapons ban. One of the lawyers in the suit, Doug Fishbein has donated to Stefanowski’s campaign. [CCDL, 9/30/22; SEEC, Bob for Governor, 1/27/22; Bob Stefanowski Campaign Facebook, 12/1/21]
