As lawmakers get ready to learn more about a gun control legislation deal that legislative leaders reached, families of victims killed in the Newtown school shooting are making an emotional plea that any law passed does not include a clause that grandfathers existing large-capacity magazines.
Twenty children and six educators were killed inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on the morning of Dec. 14, 2012.
In the letter the family members delivered to lawmakers on Monday, they wrote that the Sandy Hook shooter carried 10 magazines, which each held 30 bullets, and left many smaller magazines at home.
"Miraculously, in the time that it took him to reload in one of the classrooms, 11 children were able to escape and are alive today," the family members wrote in their letter to lawmakers. "We are left to wonder, what if the Sandy hook shooter had been forced to reload not 6 times but 15 times. Would more children, would our children, be alive today?"
The letter was delivered on the day that lawmakers are set to learn more about bipartisan legislation that legislative leadership has reached agreement on.
During a news conference on Monday morning, Nicole Hockley, mother of Dylan Hockley, spoke and asked for no grandfather clause.
Those who lost families said they believe that large-capacity magazines are the most dangerous feature of an assault weapon and fear that people would be able to buy high-capacity magazines in other states and bring them into Connecticut, claiming to have owned them before new laws took effect.
"Additionally, the 'grandfathered' possession of large capacity magazines is not in the public interest and exposes our communities to an unacceptable risk of additional mass shootings," the letter states.
Gov. Dannel Malloy released a statement in response to the letter.
"I have been clear for weeks that a ban on the possession and sale of high capacity magazines is an important part of our effort to prevent gun violence – simply banning their sale moving forward would not be an effective solution," Malloy wrote.
"This morning, we heard from victims' families on that very point. They've asked for an up or down vote on that provision and, whether it's in the larger bill or as an amendment, the families, and every resident of our state, deserve a vote. We know this is an issue that has bipartisan support, including from Senate Minority Leader John McKinney. We cannot lose sight of our ultimate goal – improving public safety for all of our residents, including our children."
In a poll released last month, Quinnipiac University's polling institute found that 70 percent of people support a statewide ban on the sale of high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 bullets, while 27 percent opposed it.

Men's soccer looks to extend top-25 unbeaten streak to four games
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 1, 2012) – With a schedule that currently features three teams inside the NSCAA/Continental Tires top-25, the ETSU men's soccer team battles its first ranked opponent of the year as No. 17 UAB heads to Summers-Taylor Stadium for a Sunday afternoon contest at 1 p.m.
ETSU (2-1-0) is no stranger to challenging nationally ranked teams, having faced three in 2011 and at least one every year since 2008. In six matches against NSCAA top-25 teams, ETSU is 2-3-1 all-time, including a 2-0-1 mark last year after defeating then-No. 24 UNC Greensboro and then-No. 14 William and Mary. The draw came against then-No. 25 Furman at Summers-Taylor Stadium, 0-0. The Bucs' three losses all came to North Carolina from 2008-10, with two of those games ending in overtime.
On Friday, ETSU had to grind out a, 1-0, win against Presbyterian in Clinton, S.C. Redshirt freshman Emmanuel Wilson (Memphis, Tenn.) scored his first collegiate goal in game-winning fashion by netting an 86th-minute strike to lead the Bucs to victory. The win evened up ETSU's 2012 road record to 1-1-0, and was the Bucs' second straight win having defeated UNC Greensboro on Tuesday, 3-1.
UAB (2-0-1) played at No. 8 Charlotte on Friday, settling for a, 1-1, draw. The 49ers outshot the Blazers, 26-9, but Kofi Gyawu put in a 39th-minute goal to give UAB a, 1-0, halftime lead. Charlotte responded in the 67th minute, as Donnie Smith leveled the match which proved to be the game's final goal of the night.
The Blazers two wins so far this season have both come at home against Georgia Southern, 2-1, and Atlantic Sun Conference member Mercer, 2-1.
Sunday afternoon's meeting will be the first all-time between ETSU and UAB.

text: Date: Wednesday, June 13th, 2012 Time: 7:30 PM Location: C7 Data Centers (Lindon) Ever looked at your router and thought that you could do so much more with it? Or tried configuring it and thought that it would be easier to use a command line than the terrible user interface the manufacturer graced it with? Many home routers have more memory and processing power than the Space Shuttle Flight Computer. Surely they can do more.OpenWRT is a Linux Distribution that allows you to get more value out of a home router and other devices. This presentation will go over some of the basics of OpenWRT such as installation, customization, and administration. In addition, a few cool ideas for how to get more out of your router or other device will be talked about. After all, a computer with a 680Mhz Processor with 8MB of flash, 64MB of ram, and multiple interfaces is a terrible thing to waste. Mike Lovell has been interested and involved in technology since a young age. Currently masquerading as a Software Engineer, he has spent most of his career as a Systems Administrator. He is also a hardware tinkerer, has built every desktop he's bought, has at least partially taken apart every computer he's owned, and helped design the hardware for a cluster of a couple thousand servers. Currently, he spends much of his time neck deep in various forms of virtualization technologies and the systems to manage them. When it comes to programming, Python is his go to language and Vim his default editor with some occasional gedit thrown in. He is also a fan of airplanes, rocketry, and some casual gaming.
