The Connecticut legislature is engaged in a marathon debate on controversial gun control legislation, triggering an intense Second Amendment discussion in the state.

Discussions on the matter began around 11 a.m. Tuesday, with the debate now pushing toward the 24-hour mark. The bill banning certain Glock-style pistols has already passed in the Democratic House and is now facing intense pushback from Republicans in the upper chamber, where the Democrats hold a 25-11 majority.
