In the year since Newtown, an additional 30,000 Americans have lost their lives to guns. Though there is no peace for the families of those we have lost, I remain committed to improving our gun laws and our mental health system to reduce the violence and mayhem. We must do everything in our power to prevent the next Newtown, Aurora, or Columbine from happening and to stop the epidemic of violence in some of our cities. While I am frustrated and disappointed by Congress’ failure to lead on this issue, I am no less resolved. I extend my deepest sympathies to the families of the Newtown victims and wish them comfort and peace on this most somber of anniversaries.” Bridgeport, CT 211 State Street, 2nd Floor Bridgeport, CT 06604 Phone: (866) 453-0028 Fax: (203) 333-6655 Hours: M - F 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Stamford, CT 888 Washington Boulevard, 10th Floor Stamford, CT 06901 Phone: (203) 353-9400 Fax: (203) 333-6655 Hours: M - F 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Washington, DC 119 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-5541 Fax: (202) 225-9629 Hours: M - F 9:00 am to 6:00 pm | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
