322. "met all federal regulations and CT's assault weapons ban standards"

Let me tell you something about CT assault weapons standards. In the small town of Litchfield, CT, in a section called Northfield, there's a new commercial training operation using AR-15s and other assault weapons. This operation never went through a Planning and Zoning hearing because the site used to be a local gun club, which was dissolved when the property was sold; nevertheless the current owner says he is "continuing use." Customers of the training operation are walking around open carrying in a residential zone and no one is checking their permits, licenses or backgrounds. Neighbors are scared. The town has no gun activity regulations and police won't do a thing b/c they're training at this new gun mecca and say they have no authority to shut down the noise or business on safety grounds.

Currently the local Zoning Board of Appeals just closed a public hearing on the issue. It is likely to go to court if the ZBA approves the operation.

So much for CT's assault weapons standards. The state will not get involved in local issues unless there's a Newtown-style shooting and meanwhile, locals are trying to prevent another one. The state does NOTHING about prevention.
