Probably is massive noncompliance in NY AND in CT

and the police aren't making much of an effort to enforce the gun laws. On the other hand if they arrest someone for something not gun related and find out they didn't comply, then they add the gun charges on top of whatever else they arrested you for.

And then they plea-bargain the gun charge away. It's all a stupid game that makes no one safer and penalizes no one but the law-abiding.

I haven't followed all of the cases, but I'm not sure they are plea-bargaining the gun charge away Lurks Often Jul 2017 #13
