While you're doing the work, how many others are? The CCDL has around 6,000 members if I recall correctly. That's a really small minority of actual gun owners in Connecticut.
This law wasn't an event so much as it was the culmination of a
process. Many of the legislators who voted for it have been elected and re-elected over the course of years or decades. Had gun owners been pushing them on the issue over that same timeframe, those legislators might have though twice before blindly supporting the measure. In cases like this, 11th hour outrage just isn't enough.
