How badly did Connecticut want to jump on the GLOCK ban bandwagon? Badly enough to risk the entire law being blocked and (likely) eventually struck down to ensure that it outlaws as many pistols as possible. The Nutmeg state enacted its “convertible pistol” ban (read: GLOCK pistol ban) because they’d rather outlaw an entire category of common, popular guns than enforce laws already on the books that make it illegal to install illegal full-auto switches converting them into machine pistols.
