There is a lot of water called the Atlantic Ocean next to CT state, seems to me like a lot of boating accidents where people go out on the water with their guns and they happen to fall overboard when you snagged that angry oceanfish on your line....
In the real world, that story don't work. It did not work for the Germans. It won't work here. I seen a video on you tube about life in Germany when the National Socialists took power. The guy said that one morning that the police arrived and dug up his neighbor's garden,[we would refer to it as his back yard]they did not find anything but they took him in. He later learned that word was that his neighbor had a machine gun buried in his garden. They [the police] subsequently beat his neighbor to death trying to get him to confess. Therefore, the reality is that when the police come to your house for your guns, you are going to do, or not do what ever you are going to do then and there. You can like or you can dislike it. You can believe it or not believe it.
That said, ever how it goes with CT is how it will go with the Nation. will the people surrender or will they fight?
