If you were nervous that the NRA wasn’t doing a good enough job lobbying against gun control in Connecticut, you can now relax: The Connecticut Citizens Defense League is the job.

CCDL members, all wearing their badges (featuring a white pistol over a black silhouette of the state of Connecticut, with the motto “Carry On!” below) were out in force Wednesday to testify against a bill that would have banned possession of gun magazines with more than 10 rounds.

The proposal is a response to the Arizona shooting spree by Jared Loughner, who used a 9 mm Glock 19 with a 33-round magazine to kill six people and wound 14 others, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Advocates for the proposal argue that maybe fewer people would have been shot if Loughner had to stop to reload his semi-automatic.

“Most legitimate gun owners can make do with 10 rounds ,” West Hartford Police Chief James Strillacci told lawmakers on the legislature’s Judiciary Committee. He called the idea of limiting the size of magazines for firearms “a small step” in the right direction.
