Connecticut passes a gun control law

As an anti-federalist, I approve of Connecticut's new gun control act that the majority of its citizens are hopefully happy with.  On the other hand I have little regard for micro regulating with a federal sledge hammer. This goes for toilets as well as guns.
What strikes me as an underutilized concept is the liabilility of the gun owner. Adam Lanza's mother apparently bought and owned the arms legally and if she had known that an act committed by the guns she owned could make her liable in a civil action, then maybe she would have been more careful about  promoting the gun culture that she did with her son.
