Here's an excerpt from an article about a legislative public hearing where some convincing arguments were voiced, and also related poll results which show that at 91% to 9%, the public opposition to the ban is overwhelming

State gun bills opposed strongly at public hearing

Hartford - Gun advocates turned out in force Wednesday to tell legislators what they thought of a proposed law that would ban large-capacity ammunition magazines.

Hearing Room 2C was filled to overflowing by a vociferous crowd that often invoked the Second Amendment in telling the Judiciary Committee they opposed the bill.......

......."I've had a lot of law enforcement officers … in the community contact me and state that they have concerns with this taking away their Second Amendment rights," said state Rep. Chris Coutu, R-Norwich. "I've heard that over and over from about a dozen members of the law enforcement community."

Coutu brought up the case of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was shot at a public appearance in January. While she and 13 other people were wounded, another six were killed.

"I think this bill really comes down to Representative Giffords of Arizona," he said. "It seems far too often there's a quick reaction to an incident that happened somewhere in the country, and I think this bill is that quick reaction and the bill hasn't been thought out well."

Others who testified were more vehement in their opposition.......

i saved the letter from chris , i had received it the next day. the same time i sent
a letter to a state senator and never received anything back. chris came through.

Is it just me or does that list ban firearms that are only collectables? Seriously, a FAMAS? Aren't there just a handfull of them here in this country?
