HARTFORD, Conn. — Among the many that gathered at the University of Hartford for the National Safer Communities Summit last week were dozens of activists whose work to bring about federal gun reform legislation is rooted right here in Connecticut.
The summit, featuring speeches by President Joe Biden and other lawmakers championing gun reform, was held to mark one year since the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — the most significant gun legislation passed by Congress in three decades.
For many, the celebration felt full circle.
