You're right - kicking down doors may not be the point today, and probably was not the intention of passing the laws. Based on the wording in your post, I can't help but feel that you don't see the laws as a particularly big problem.

Think of a scenario where you pissed someone off for some totally unrelated reason, like writing a nasty letter to the editor.
The cops can say:
"Oh, we got an anonymous tip about a gun hoarder" or
"We heard that he was growing pot" or
"He threatened someone" ....... so they show up with a nice legal warrant - and make nice headlines.

I would suspect that the bigger collections of guns are less important the "visibility" of the bust for other reasons. Envision the headline produced by cops finding an unregistered 10/22 rifle, some normal BX-25 magazines and a couple of boxes of 500 rounds of ammo:

"Ex-Marine caught with assault style rifle and a huge ammo cache - is this another case of PTSD?"

The frog in the pot doesn't feel the water gradually heating up until it's too late.

Good Point.

I'm not saying they will or won't do anything. But the powers that be down in CT look pretty stupid right now because so many did not roll over and comply like they thought they would.

I just wouldn't be surprised if some want to make some examples out of a few people.

I was ecstatic to see so many defy the law. It ALMOST gives me hope for CT. It's what needs to happen across the country. To some extent it is what has happened with obsmacare. No enrollment anywhere close to what they need. Wait till premiums jump. It's a nightmare.
