The Libertarian Party of Connecticut is opposing Connecticuts new gun law and says elected representatives that voted for it can expect Libertarian challengers in the next election. <\/p>\n
The bill imposes substantial limitations on the right to keep and bear arms as well as imposing large costs on law-abiding citizens who wish to buy and sell weapons peacefully, said Joshua Katz, a Westbrook resident who is the partys secretary. It punishes those who seek mental health counseling, which, far from keeping us safer, will simply discourage people who need help from getting it. <\/p>\n
The Libertarian Party is known for its small-government philosophy. It has run candidates in Connecticut with limited success. <\/p>\n
The party says that politicians who voted for the law have abandoned their commitment to transparent, accountable government, and should expect to face challenges from Libertarian opponents in their next election, the party said in an April 5 press release. <\/p>\n
