Are 'assault weapons' legal in Connecticut?

  1. Yes, without restriction

  2. No, they are banned

  3. Yes, with a special permit

  4. Only ones purchased before a certain date

The correct answer is: No, they are banned

Connecticut currently has a ban on the sale, transfer, possession, or importation of "assault weapons." These weapons were prohibited by a law passed in 2013 following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Option A is incorrect because, as mentioned, there is a ban on these weapons. Option C is incorrect because there is no special permit available for the possession of assault weapons. Option D is incorrect because there is no grandfathering clause for previously purchased weapons. All current and future sales, transfers, and possession of assault weapons are prohibited in Connecticut.
