#4 It has some obvious advantages over the Neostead or aging Stryker.

#7 Regarding CT, the number of people who chose to register their mandated firearms & magazines remains to be determined. Most people were hoping for a court decision prior to the 1/1/14 deadline and waited until December to submit the paperwork and given the minimal staffing of the State Police unit handling the paperwork, it is unlikely they have even opened all the mail yet. Additionally under CT law, any purchase of a firearm from a FFL results in the state police and the town you live getting a DPS-3-C form listing the make, model, serial # of the firearm you just bought. That makes tough to non-comply unless one is willing to risk a SWAT team excuting a search warrant and then being convicted of a felony.

#8 Then I guess it boils down to the willingness of the Connecticut state police to spend state resources enforcing an unenforceable law, and its citizens' willingness to drain the state of those resources through trial and jail time.

#9 @8 That's the big question, isn't it. I've heard rumors that some police have said they won't comply, but like most rumors it is hard to substantiate. The question is how far is the Governor and other senior members willing to go to further their agenda and will the pending court case overturn what they passed. Given the make up of the CT population, I don't see it being a red state anytime soon.
