The anti-gun jihadists of the Connecticut government, who boast that the state's ban of so-called "assault weapons" (recently upheld as "Constitutional" by a federal judge despite his admission that the banned firearms and magazines are "in common use," and thus deserving Second Amendment protection even under the narrowly written Heller decision) is now the most draconian in the nation, are not satisfied with mere compliance with every detail of the law. They demand abject, terrified worship of the law. This is illustrated by comments made in response to resident gun manufacturer Stag Arms' attempts to gain clarification from the Connecticut State Police on whether or not the company's new design for a .22 Long Rifle caliber rifle would meet the state's oppressive requirements.
The police are claiming that they are under no obligation to provide that clarity, which means that if Stag builds the new design, and the state determines that it is not in compliance (with a law that even the federal judge who upheld it admits that "several provisions of the legislation are not written with the utmost clarity"), the company will find itself in legal hot water. As the CT Post reports, Governor Malloy's office is unsympathetic:
"It's not the job of law enforcement to give a stamp of approval for a company or an individual's actions," said Andrew Doba, a spokesman for Malloy. "It's the job of law enforcement to protect public safety. Instead of trying to figure out ways to get around the common-sense gun laws that were passed last session, gun manufacturers should join the efforts of the vast majority of residents who support having safer communities, free of gun violence."

It’s treason to enforce these laws.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Don’t give an inch to those who want to control you. The safest communities are those where the good guys have fire arms.

The second amendment does not give us the right to bear arms. We as humans have that right from our Creator. We can vote to buy and build anything we choose to do because we ourselves have that right. To deny people their rights, the government looses its only honest claim to their subservient exercise of the same right.
If the anti-gunners really believed that the purpose of the law was to have safer communities, free of gun violence, you would expect that they would be glad to explain the exact scope of the law. Evidently their purpose is something else.
Good point. I have no idea why Kimber is still located in Yonkers, NY.

Well, it’s understandable that for a small manufacturing company, especially one that requires a trained, skilled labor force, there are many obstacles to picking up and moving. Aside from the obvious physical and staffing issues there are considerations of finance, logistics, etc. Still, I would love to see firearms manufacturers move out of the gun-hostile northeast to warmer, cheaper, more hospitable climes.
PS: There are a lot of 1911 enthusiasts who think Kimber makes great firearms, but won’t buy them because the company is New York.
“We as humans have that right from our Creator.”
True, but your argument falls flat with Liberals who don’t believe in a Creator. We aren’t dealing with rational, fair-minded people; there are no absolutes with them except their own evil.
