I'm pretty much in the same position. Malloy said standard capacity magazines are bad, and ARs are evil. So I bought a Glock and 3 AR's right after Sandy Hook. No interest in owning either of those platforms before then. I mean, wth, I had my revolvers, my .22 rifles, my target 9mm pistol - who needed an ugly Glock or an AR?
Then Malloy basically said that I couldn't be trusted with these firearms... My parents are dead - and I didn't ask him to be their replacement.
A couple years later, living in two states, and I've got half a dozen Glocks, the (3) registered AR's in CT and half a dozen unregistered AR's in GA. I dunno how that's working out for his bullshit common sense gun control laws - but it didn't make the gun sales/distribution numbers go DOWN in my case. It spurred me to buy/make/build more.
