Lest we forget, Gov. Howler has the same problem in NY as CT has:

Irish Democracy saying "Screw you."
Bearing Arms attempted to find out today how many of the so-called “assault weapons” belonging to New Yorkers had been registered with the State Police, and received this curt reply.

The State Police cannot release information related to the registration of weapons including the number of weapons registered. Those records you seek are derived from information collected for the State Police database and are, therefore, exempt from disclosure.

... If New Yorkers are anything like their brethren in Connecticut and less than 15-percent register their arms, the deadline will pass with 850,000 qualifying firearms still “undocumented.” Considering the widespread and vocal opposition to the NY SAFE Act among law enforcement, including outright refusals to enforce the law by many New York Sheriffs, noncompliance will likely be even higher, approaching or exceeding 90-percent.

And, making this even better,

“The rank and file troopers don’t want anything to do with it,” Assemblyman Bill Nojay (R-Pittsford) said Monday. “I don’t know of a single sheriff upstate who is going to enforce it.”
“If you don’t have the troopers and you don’t have the sheriffs, who have you got? You’ve got Andrew Cuomo pounding on the table in Albany,” Nojay said.

 Let's see, can you imagine some trooper quietly letting people in an area know 'The thugs are coming!" ?  Or some district commander telling his boss "I have to live and work with these people, and so do my troopers!  You really want me staging raids and searches and pissing them all off?  For that matter, I don't want to have to worry about the sheriff telling his people "Don't be  in a hurry to back up these bastards."
